Outside the former home of Towcester Football Club

It continues to be an eyesore on the main entrance to our town with its dilapidated former club house and bar. and overgrown grass and field.

Once the home to one of the areas most successful non league clubs but now a shadow of its former self. In an ideal world it would still be the home to an array of teams of all ages, sexes and abilities.

Its a place that holds great memories for me as a very young age through many great summers and some very wet and cold winters. My father was a coach of Towcester Town for many years and i fondly remember some great victories and some heartbreaking losses. Although my sport has always been at the other end of Towcester at the Towcetrians, i still remember the camaraderie and friendships of those years.

Its hard to believe that Towcester no longer has a regular team representing the Town in the mainstream leagues at the old ground. The youth football has had great successes and has had countywide recognition of its talents winning many trophies over the years.

As Towcester grows its representatives must consider how this anomaly can be rectified and make sure that the facilities for sport in the town are supported and made available.

So is the old ground to be left in a continuing poor state giving a terrible image of a great town? Or is something to be done?

Why not answer the poll in the side bar on the left? and let us know what you think.
