Kendal - make it red and white!
« on: October 18, 2007, 10:34:13 AM »

Make sure you all bring your flags, scarves, balloons and confetti to Kendal next week. If you have flags from the playoff final bring them along and try to make the best atmosphere possible - we need to get behind our lads and get their players rattled from the start. This game is massive and we must ensure we do our part to help progress to that elusive first round proper.

Have you any idea on how many fans will be travelling next Saturday. A couple of 100 would make a good FA CUP atmospher.

Photos as requested:

Is it just me or is their pitch on the world's biggest slope?

It looks like a picturesque spennymoor, with a touch of the colwyn bay low stands thrown in for good measure.

Not what you want week in, week out but always a great FA cup away trip.

Gutted I wont be there! I love the cup

There is a slight slope at Parkside Road, but nothing too massive.

Looks like a nice picturesque ground - what I would call a "proper" non-league ground. It's certainly full of character and I really hope I can be there to sample it first hand.

I've played at Kendal a few times and have to say I've loved it every time I've been there. Great little ground, good atmosphere. Fantastic pitch to play on as well, slope not too much of a problem.

Looks like a lovely little non-league ground, love the look of that one row of seats behind the goal...I'll do all I can to bring balloons shirts and scarfs to the match...and penfold, I believe we could take as many as 350 fans, my guess 300.

I thought they called it the Lakeland Radio Stadium or something now?

I heard they changed their name cos no-one knew where Netherfield is. The ground is opposite the very picturesque Netherfield cricket club with Kendal cricket club at the other end of the town.

in which case it was one of the first aways i ever did circa '76
there were sheep in the adjoining field behind one goal and the ball kept going out of the ground
