The homemade stand at the soon-to-be vacated AFC Stoneham, the old Pirelli General ground. |
I posted 35 photos from Hampshire football grounds last week as part one of a two-part Facebook quiz. Here are the second 35, which are in no particular order again, but by coincidence, feature a few grounds which have either been vacated since I started writing HAH, or are just about to be.
 |
Springtime at United Sevices Portsmouth. |
 |
Upwardly mobile Hartley Wintney, who have risen rapidly through the leagues since I first visited them in 2012. |
 |
Back of the shelter at Winchester Castle. |
 |
One of the last games to be played at Colden Common's recreation ground last season. |
 |
This is Sholing, another club to have been highly successful since I started the blog. |
 |
Wigwams at Upham. |
 |
One of several pitches at the Wide Lane sports facility in Eastleigh. AFC Station were the home team here. |
 |
The Jam Boys of Whitchurch United. They've lost every time I've watched them. |
 |
Sunset at Folland Sports of Hamble. |
 |
Old wind sock on MOD land at Fleetlands. I was there again on Sunday and the wind sock has gone! |
 |
Basingstoke Town's Camrose. They left at the end of 2018/19 and have nowhere to go in their home town. Grim times for the Stokies. |
 |
Netley Central Sports on Southampton's East Side. |
 |
One of the first matches I ever featured on HAH in 2011 at Cove FC in Farnborough. |

Another upwardly mobile club - Blackfield & Langley from the Waterside area. |

Can't remember where this is. Perhaps someone else will know?! |
 |
Poplars at the popular Cams Alders, home of Fareham Town. |
 |
Overflowing balcony at Alresford Town. |
 |
The award-winning stand at AFC Totton. |
 |
Celebrations for Eastleigh as they won promotion from the National South. |

Even gloomier Horndean on a foggy day in December. |

 |
The Bus Stop End at Winchester City. |
 |
Another team that's lost every time I've seen them (and never scored a goal!), Fleet Town. |

And finally...Lymington Town. This picture has been the blog header if you read this on a PC since about 2012. |
