Greetings to my fellow eggchasers.
I was looking for some help and hope that some on here might be able to. I am looking at doing some groundhopping next season, visiting grounds outside of my area. I was hoping that people might be able to furnish us with the following information for their respective teams. Nearest station, Is the ground within walking distance or do you need a bus or taxi, apart from the clubhouse any decent pubs etc. The information I feel would be useful for those who support teams new to the leagues, or those who like myself just want to watch a game. Hope some of you will help.

Yes, just want to broaden my horizons so to speak. Work every other Saturday morning so on those days it will be a more local game eg Blackheath, Westcombe Park, Southend, Westcliff Thurrock etc.

Try London Scottish (everyone's favourite and a proper Rugby Club)
![]() ![]() as London Scottish are tenants at Richmond RFC - you get them also ! (So alternate weeks, one or the other...) London Welsh are a 5 min walk around the corner and Rosslyn Park a short bus/cab ride also. Nearest station: Richmond (Mainline and District Line) Is the ground within walking distance: Yes - 5 mins from station.
Apart from the clubhouse any decent pubs etc. Yes - 'Orange Tree' (opposite station). 'The Sun Inn' (just behind Orange Tree) - Traditionally a 'Richmond' Pub but welcomes all (Even the Scots!) - Great Ale and a real good rugby pub. For a more picturesque setting try 'The White Cross' on the Thames, a 10 min walk away. Plenty of places to eat in the local area. |

You’ll always be given a warm welcome at Esher Rugby - we’re a few minutes from Hersham Station.
Hersham Station is on the Waterloo - Woking line. Trains leave Waterloo at 20 and 50 minutes past each hour. On leaving the station, turn right under the bridge and our ground is 300 yards on the left.

If you ever venture up to Manchester, catch a train or tram to East Didsbury.
A 15 minute walk will bring you to Burnage Rugby Club (confusingly located in Heaton Mersey, rather than Burnage - we were an Old Boys Club many moons ago and retained the school name [Burnage Grammar/High school] and had a nomadic ground history) £5 entry to a 1st XV match (Regional 2 North West) Enjoy your travels |
