Proper non-league ground with a pitch more suitable for a WWI re-enactment.
Wasn't always like that. I lived in Histon for about 10 years coinciding with that Sunday afternoon. Steve Fallon was sometimes my doubles partner at Histon Tennis Club and I enjoyed several lockins at the Railway By with him. I even went to John Beck's home once. The only time in my life I felt split loyalty as it was Boston's cup final. Happy Days!
BTW, does it count as I think they still play there?

The Dell, remember when all clubs had to cage the fans in they decided to use the thickest cages and largest girders they could find to construct their at the away end making it virtually impossible to see the match through them. :crazy:
