Last week I was on a boating holiday in the Cambridgeshire Fens with my sister,her partner Mike and Jasper the Dog.
Boatyard we started and finished at is in the Cathedral City of Ely.
Before my return home yesterday I visited the ground of Ely City Football Club who we played in the FA Cup back in the 56/57 season.
Not the ground we played at,original ground was called the Pardadise Stadium which was situated in the city centre.
They now play at the the Unwin Sports Ground which is on the outskirts.
A neat little stadium with a capacity of 1500.

On arrival at ground I had look around the outside before taking any photo's.
Thought the place was deserted at first(though there were cars in the car park).A gate was open so I went inside the ground and eventually found three friendly guys having a cup of tea in the social club,one of which was a Cambridge United supporter,I congratulated him and he commiserated with me.
I was given the OK to take some photos.
