Personally, I hate the location. Having said that, in talking to Tommy a couple weeks, there weren't many options available. Glenmore and Hellard are having their turf ripped up during the season, Foothills was unavailable due to track events, AMSL clubs made a big stink about the club using Broadview, MRU wanted the club to erect nets around their soccer pitch, and the club rejected McMahon.
Toward the end of last year I was able to attend quite a few non-league matches around various grounds in London. South London alone puts Canada to shame when it comes to small yet quality grounds for local clubs. It's disappointing how content the powers that be are with slapping together aluminium bleachers and calling it a day.
