The best for me have to be Carson-Newman, east Tennessee..

Trini · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2008, 05:34:44 AM »

play on plenty decent grounds..growing up playing on the uwi grounds where they have the cricket field now has always been my favourite, always well grassed, nice thick turf and well maintained.

some of the bad ones were
1) constantine park
2) hillview ground (it was a square, regulation width, but same length with potholes, gravel and perennial mud)
3) mona bowl (the one by the pool) in jamaica
4) aranguez savannah eastern pitch- it like playing on a hill that sloping north to south, with the goals on either end.

Worst would be in Coconut Drive...........as far as ah could remember back in d late 80's it had some big stone in d ground dat use tuh hurt when yuh dive tuh save ah goal.............ah cah remember if it was d goal post by d pavillion or d 1 on d odder side................best was probably QRC or Fatima grounds. D Barracks and PSA grounds wasnt too bad either. Chinapoo school grounds and Africa grounds was rell shit but served its purpose. Morvant Laventille school grounds wasnt too bad either.

Small mag if you think diego sec ground bad now then you should ah see it in the eight's
sand ,stone and teemarey . Ah old man with a big tractor used to cut the grass for us a day before we play ah game. One time de man did not show up so de big belly coach send me home for my father's lawn mower . the two teams in the change room ready to play and I mowing grass. St.Anthonys beat us 5 nil and meh father almost kill me because de stones on the pitch dent up his mower blades.

The best football ground ah ever play on was small goal on meh father front lawn.It was well worth de cutass for braking his rose bush because that lawn was sweet like ah golf course.

Never really play on any impressive field but I use to like playing games on UWI front field. That uwi league was real fun and there was always a good crowd when you palyin on the front field. The best kept fields that I have played on are all in the US.....but the most exciting grounds to play on were all in TRINI so far. The crowd, the ole talk and girls on the side lines in Trini makes games special no matter how ragged the field might be.

1. Hershey park- PA... home of the Hershey Wildcats (APSL/USL)....

2. My college field- used by Baltimore Ravens for Summer preseason camp so they used to hook us up real nice when they left...Our groundsman was also good at cutting the grass in good visual patterns...

best i play on was ato boldon when it now build and the turf was sweet.. all them training grounds used to knock real nice too.. yuh brand improving by ah automatic 50%..

de worst....

aranguez savannah.. it have a canal for the center field line, it have a the bylines so deep the ball rolling and settling in it, it have some potholes big like woah and de goalmouth is gravel and some break bottle too..

ah play ah fete match on a ground in grande in dry season, well it was like playing on the serengeti.. is only dust kicking up and sparse patches of weed..

FF · « **Reply #23 on:** November 01, 2008, 02:36:51 PM »

One of the best grounds in my time not too long ago... the northern half of Fatima first 11 pitch... that half was immaculate, flat and well grassed.. best for knocking ball

One of de worst...de southern half going down hill on de same pitch... pressure in yuh arse... In front de goal mouth was de worst...

The best grounds I ever play on, well natural grass. It go have to be RFK grounds or the auxiliary fields next to RFK. Tuff, that would have to be Georgetown University.

Thee worst grounds I ever played on was ah park in Washington DC weh all thee tournament uses to be, called Blair Rd. That had ah ravine in thee middle ah thee field.

For me the best ground I play on in T&T is Lever Brothers...

in Foreign, Terryland Park in Galway,

Ireland... dem fellas have a fulltime grounds crew who does wuk dat field for free... just to keep it pristine, (all ah dem is farmers too so yuh know everything organic...)

Although it had a Indian fella with bright eyes who used to do QRC grounds back in de day... ah MTS man, ah forget he name now...

but I think the prize for de worst ground has to go to Moka... (no disrespect fellas...)

and in Foreign, I was playing for a squad for a while Crescent FC in Galway and I hate to say it but the facility left a lot to be desired... it's become better now though...
