tmesis RFCMod Sandhurst Town (or Bracknell Town depending whos playing as they both ground share)
Me and the boy have a season ticket down there for when RFC aren't at home
Quite a decent set-up. Looks pretty smart, although probably not ideal if it's raining.
Of course, Bracknell no longer having a ground in their own town, and not even having a site to move back to, is a bit of a concern. If they'd sold a few metres less of their land at Larges Lane, so they could have made it a little bigger, they wouldn't have this problem.
It’s a slightly odd arrangement, Bracknell I think are technically the tenants of Sandhurst at Bottom Meadow but the ground improvements made there to bring it up to the levels required for Bracknell, to be promoted, have been paid for by Bracknell - so when they go back to Bracknell obviously the ”Fizzers” will be very nicely positioned. Be a real
if Sandhurst somehow managed to get themselves up the pyramid ahead of Bracknell though.
The plan is for Bracknell to return as soon as they can but in the meantime the club offices and the excellent trading facilities are all still based in Larges Lane (where I believe the club was originally hoping to build its new ground) so the club is still very much Bracknell-centric.
Anyone have the latest update on this, I’ve not seen anything for the best part of a year or so.
