I don't understand why Holbeach would apply this time, when they declined to only two years ago.

I was told by a UCL ground grader that an awful lot of work would be required to Carter's Park to make it acceptable for Step 4 football, guess the same would apply to Huntingdon's ground.

Having played at Buckingham's ground on Tuesday with one dugout, three inch grass and the lines not visible down one side I wouldn't believe a word a UCL ground grader tells me.

On the plus side they have put a roof on the terrace and replacement the pitch barrier with cast off's from the July course at Newmarket.

If he passed Buckingham's ground then I wouldn't believe him.

I wouldn't take any notice of any of them on the UCL board. The Duke is the sharpest one on there, and that's saying something! ;)

Sharpest, youngest, more of his own teeth (5), premier cake and sandwich muncher (well except one and he`s not made UCL Board YET) got all boxes ticked, so most likely to be the responsible party for passing The Buckingham field, that`s not in Buckingham.

I demand a recount on his teeth ;)

I'm just surprised he found any grounds for last season's ground grading with that Portugese sat nav :)
