22/2/20 Chelmsford City 1-1 Slough Town at Melbourne Stadium in the Vanarama National League South. Adult entry £13 (bought online otherwise its £15 which is too much), 16 years £5 (no discount online offered, bizarre), Programme £3 (most expensive but it’s good quality), Chips £2.50 (portion is small for the amount you pay). Not the greatest of places to go and watch a football match. The running track around the pitch nullifies any attempt to make some atmosphere. There are a few seats in the ‘stand’ opposite the main stand. The main stand itself is enormous and is too far away from the pitch. Behind the goals at one end is a small covered box terrace, the other end is open to the elements, and yesterday it was very windy. Parking is also a problem as there simply isn’t enough spaces although it is free. The bar is excellent and the food on offer is what you would expect but overpriced. The volunteers are helpful and friendly and a credit to the club. I would recommend that you only go if you have to!!
UPDATE 23/4/22 Third visit. Chelmsford City 1-1 Slough Town. I have taken off another star because today one of our supporters was denied access to the ground with his snare drum due to some stupid council bylaw. It beggars belief that you would be stopped bringing something along to try and create some atmosphere. This place is a soulless bowl!! I only visit because I have to. The volunteers and staff were happy and helpful as they normally are. The only plus point.

On this level a nice stadium, but as a football supporter you dont like the running track around the pitch. Great social bar and clubshop.

A beautiful club! They host all football! The Essex Womens Walking Football League is one of them.
The halls are immaculate and spacious if you need to rent one.
I'm not sure of how or how much but there is room.
I had attended a meeting with all reps from every League (walking running, 5 a side, under 18s... we were all there). It was a very good and interesting meeting.

Decent ground even if you are a bit far away from the pitch

Great day out at Chelmsford City FC. Lunch cooked by the lovely Tracy in the clubhouse - with a vegan and veggie option - and then watching the game from the balcony with tea and biscuits at half time. An exciting game and they won 4-1. Really lovely family atmosphere.
