Haye Road Ground.
Hayes Road is a very tidy ground that contains three football pitches in total as well as a club house. There is a parking area just inside the gates and the first pitch you come across was the original pitch used by the first team. This pitch is now used by the reserve team matches.
There is a short pathway to walk up before you get to the clubhouse changing rooms etc and from this location you can look down and see the pitch now used by the first team.
The pitch itself is very flat and two small stands have recently been added, one on the left hand side of the pitch and one behind one of the goals on the clubhouse side of the pitch, this one has been built up on a bank. Floodlights have also recently been added to the ground.
In the far left hand corner of the pitch is a grass slipway that leads to a third pitch that is used for the clubs junior games.
