Parking is £4. Go past the ground itself and turn right into the training field entrance. They'll take your cash and guide you from there.

Good drinking at the marquee behind the main stand. Pleeeease.. we need your money!

Good food at... (see good drinking).

Haha, didn't notice how it could be construed as that.

Might as well be, though. Town has gone downhill, just like much of the district.

I was in Donny yesterday, and couldn't believe how down at heel the vibrant market town of my youth has become.
