There is a design flaw in that ground! They have put a standing stand in the middle of two seated stands.... blocking the view of 50% of both seated stands!

Boro Rangers have been based at the Herlingshaw Centre in Eston ever since the First team joined the Teesside League in 2014. Eston comes under the jurastiction of Redcar and Cleveland Council.

Just seen a photo on twitter tonight of this new ground. Aren't grounds in the Northern league supposed to have an inner barrier between pitch and spectators around the ground. Looks just like one of those hubs. If that's Northern league division 1 standard then anything goes.

Not sure of the exact rule so i could be wrong, Bu i thought spectators should be able to view from any side of the pitch. There's a few grounds that i can think of where that isn't possible. Boro Rangers, West end, Chester le Street United. Like i say, could be wrong, i'm sure somebody can correct me if i am.

Step 5 Clubs have to have 3 sides accessible, and the ground fully enclosed , which I see regularly not adhered to , although its a bit more complicated if the ground is in a "complex". A lot of these new grounds are simply box ticking, rather than being comfortable for supporters. Anyone remember the ridiculous toilet issue at team Northumbria, it was inside the sports complex, but apparently that's still included as the ground.

Team northumbria also had no clubhouse or anywhere covered to go for refreshments at half apart from that vending machine in the sports complex where toilets were. Was that even acceptable? A ground i sure dont miss

Reviving an old thread rather than starting an entirely new one. I'm heading down to Boro Rangers on Saturday & wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to whether this pitch out the back of what appears to be a sixth form college has a bar? Cheers!

There was no bar at the start of the season, I know they were having problems with licensing. You could buy cans at the entrance hut.

Is it Phoenix Park they play at now?

Is it Phoenix Park they play at now? Yes it’s phoenix park. Another soulless cage . I just can’t get these awful caged in facility’s . Bad enough not having a bar . Great lads running the club but why they play there instead of developing their own ground is a strange one. Maybe they have plans to build another ground in the future .

Great lads running the club but why they play there instead of developing their own ground is a strange one. Maybe they have plans to build another ground in the future . Probably the worst 'ground' I've ever visited. I'm sure the club are doing their best and just taking advantage of FA rules, but I've never been a fan of cuckoo clubs being allowed to just flit about while others try to build a sustainable home, and in this case it's compounded by being the most soulless experience imaginable. Warm cans and raw chips from a van once you eventually find your way in (no signposting whatsoever) to an awful place to watch a football match. Lot of first timers there today and pretty much every one I spoke to said there wouldn't be a second time.
