Layer Road

This has to be the most friendly football club in the country. The stewards are helpful and useful. The ground is small and even 3000 makes it look fairly full. All sides have low stands with a lot of terracing. The views from behind the goal are superb at the seated end but not so good on the away terracing area. Relocation has been on the cards for a number of years but nothing has yet happened. The club will do well to remain in Div 2.
The ground has a real football atmosphere to it and I would genuinely prefer to see a game here or at Darlington, for instance, than Old Trafford. This is real football with real fans.
