Park Lane

Sometimes one gets lucky with a ground being open and friendly faces encouraging photographs. Today was special in that the light was perfect. The ground itself is easy to find. Just get within 6 miles of Canvey Island and the signs direct you straight there. If you get lost and have Sat Nav then the postcode is SS8 7PX.
The ground seems to have been built in the middle of a residential area but instead of being tightly hemmed in on all sides there is a reasonable amount of parking right outside. Try as I might I cannot find anything about the ground capacity but would guess at 4,500.
Behind one goal there is a large open terrace reminiscent of league grounds in time gone by but looking like it was built yesterday. A low long seater stand runs along the whole of one side of the pitch. On the opposite side are two smaller covered stands with low open terracing behind the other goal. All in all rather a decent ground and what is more a conference ground with some character. On two sides of the ground houses are fairly close to the action and have decent views on match day.
