| Like Bath
and Merthyr, Worcester is a "proper" old style football ground, with a
"proper" big main stand with sloping roof, "proper" terracing all the
way round, and "proper" floodlight pylons. You may have to visit St Georges
Lane soon though to experience all this, as the club are planning to
move to a new mega-stadium near the M5 in the millenium. An excellent view
can be had from boats on the canal which flows past one end of the ground.
Despite the new ground plans, Worcester have brought their present ground
up to Conference standard.
Many pundits
were tipping Worcester for the title at start of season, with legendary
former Kidderminster manager Graham Allner at the helm. However, a disastorous
start to the season means they'll almost certainly be staying put for another
year (unless they get relegated!) |

Stuff to do: |
There's a Cathedral, various
museums and the Racecourse if you fancy a flutter.

Directions: |
Leave the M5
at Junction 6. Then head for Worcester. At the first set of
traffic lights (not the pelican crossing) go straight ahead and then take
the third left. The ground is then on the left. It is in the
Barbourne district of Worcester. |
