Monday night football. Don't I just love it. Tonight's game was another Isthmian League Premier Division. This time Wealdstone FC playing Tooting and Mitcham United at their Grosvenor Vale ground in Ruislip, just up the road from RAF Northholt.
The ground holds 2,387. There's a small-ish all seater stand that straddles the half way time on one side. There's even a 4 seat Press Box! On the other side there's an even smaller all seater stand, the far end has a small covered terrace and the other end houses the player's tunnel, the snack bar and the club shop.
Wealdstone won the game 3-0 which was the half time score. They dominated the first half with a very hard working performance. Tooting and Mitcham defended as badly as they did at home to Hendon on Saturday but Wealdstone were far more solid and ruthless. Kiernan Mason-Hughes impressed again but he hardly got the ball in the second half and ended up being so frustrated that he got a straight red towards the end of the game. But he's quality. The sort of player I hope we are keeping tabs on if we're being serious about recruitment.
I quite like the ground actually. The supporters are proper football people, although their bovril is 50p more expensive than at Tooting and Mitcham.
Anyway some photos. I'm sorry but I got a bit carried away when the sun was setting..

Just wait until Match of the Day turn up!
