Proper old fashioned football ground. StAlbans desperately need to leave Clarence Park the sooner the better. Old wooden stand with standing all around the pitch. Surprised at the amount of alcohol being consumed. Very unusual I also noticed people smoking which is not allowed. The burger stall is mega expensive. Burgers are very dear. The marketing side of the club seems to be geared up to make money. St. Albans is set up and ready to go the club need to move away from the dated stadium. A fresh start is required for a new future.

The children's playground here is really top notch. Well kept and with interesting equipment. The grounds are well kept and the trees are stunning. Nearby verdict is good and as the public toilets are closed, they let you use theirs which is great.
