Glen PF, Rossendale
 

Looking for glen playing fields as one of my sons has a game there sat morning but theres no hint on the accy junior lge website and doesnt seem a website for the club


Found a pitch nr glen rd just past rossendale.. off bacup rd.. can anyone confirm thats glen playing fields?

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

Yes it is but a pain in the rear end to get too. Are they playing Rossendale Utd Juniors ?

under 16s ... so long as i know thats deffo the place:) nice one!

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

You don't go up Glen Rd from memory, I'll just check the map and let you know.

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

Having checked the map it won't be the one on Glen Rd I don't think. Thats actually next to the Grammar School. 99% certain the Glen playing fields are the ones on top of the hill. As you go through Waterfoot in the Bacup direction the pitches are on the right hand side, about 20,000 feet up :D You can't see them from the road.

When I can find a detailed enough map I'll let you know, you actually go past them then double back along an unmade road !!

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

I used to live there as a kid and played on the pitches against the Grammar School. When my daughter was playing there season before last it took me a couple of goes to find it. The route you take walking as a kid is nowhere near the route you go by car :D

Don't forget your camera, you can see the end of the world up there on a clear day, and if it's foggy the match will be off, it's not fog, it's low clouds :D

Fairly sure the one on Glen Rd is an astroturf pitch for the grammar school.

Hi Lancs Dave

just out of interest which girls team does your daughter play for?

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

She's retired now but played for Barrowford Celtic :)

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

If she ever wants to come out of retirement let me know

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

scouting on a messageboard... thats a novel idea:)

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

If it assists my club to get some new players then why not. Find it's better and not immoral like poaching players from other clubs

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

I agree.. I wasnt saying anything bad... I was being pleasent.. sorry if that went over your head :(

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

Just got back... Cheers lancsdave I would ahve been at glen rd as would half the parents who had same idea as me :)

Yes a great view but blimey that was cold....very cold... and they lost oh hum :)

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

lol it's a bit exposed, not even sure it gets warm in summer :D

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

It's very exposed up there, whats the most exposed ground you.ve visited

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

Yes Dave is correct BRGS has an astroturf pitch.

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

Glossop in January during a snow storm. All very cosy when you can wrap up warm but running up and down a line trying to grip a flag handle with blue hands for 90 minutes exposes you to the elements quite a bit :D

Re: Glen PF, Rossendale
 

That sent a shiver down my spine just reading it

What about Blacksnape it's always wild up there
