The footballing mecca that is Northampton Road may not have been sampled by many of Green Balls' readers, but it is a sight not to be missed... maybe.

Currently sharing the ground with the Cricket Club, West Haddon FC are moving to a purpose-built pitch on an adjacent field hopefully in time for season 2001/2002.

An impressive (for this level of football) clubhouse hosts the after-match drinking, and Grandstand on BBC1 if the match outside is decidedly dull.

West Haddon FC are famed throughout the Combination for the quality of their half-time cuppa, available for a bargain 20p from Pauline. Players and ref's alike always look forward to those winter games when they come to West Haddon because of Pauline's cuppa!

Crowds can occasionally be counted on the fingers of one hand (!) but there's usually a hardcore band of village folk who turn out to support the club. The 1999 Cup semi-final against Heyford attracted a crowd of nearly 100!

Yes for that true "grass roots football" feel a visit to Northampton Road is all you need.
