I think Solar Campus is not far from Ashville (West Cheshire).
That's correct. It's on Leasowe Road, less than a mile west of Ashville. The club has developed it as its new training centre.

I am hearing there may be a change in policy on access to Colchester's Florence Park this season. Will update if and when there's something official.

Swindon Town and Forest Green Rovers FCs.
I am now going to be at Malmesbury Vics on Saturday for the Western League but see that both FGR and Swindon are at home in the Football League Youth Alliance.
Not holding my breath for an answer from either so can anyone confirm definitely where they both play youth games now?
There was rumours that FGR were playing at a park in Chippenham, denied by a member of staff who I know. FGR website still has them playing ion the SWCL which is not a good sign to be honest and Swindon doesn't mention fixtures.

To the best of my knowledge Swindon kiddies are at Stanley Park in Chippenham and FGR still at the Royal Agricultural University near Cirencester.

Oxford United are at the moment still at Abingdon United according to a recent Tweet, but I presume they will move to Oxford City at some point. The ladies team have and fans forums are now held at Court Place Farm.

Altrincham Youth are expected to move (apart from FA Youth Cup games which will be played at the main stadium) from the former Linotype ground at Clay Lane to the Manchester Health Academy on Moor Lane, Wythenshawe (M23 9BP) but this won't be until October or so.
In the mean time, the first home fixture is being played at Unicorn Athletic in Flixton, but I wouldn't attend any game without checking.

Predictably, no reply from Forest Green or Swindon meaning three e-mails to League clubs have been ignored so far, with Argyle.
Thanks to this forum I chose Swindon Town v Newport County which was indeed at Stanley Park, Chippenham.
This is a stunning facility spread over many manicured acreas a few miles out of Chippenham on the Calne Road.
Struggled for coffee and grub there but the football made up for it as Swindon have what looks like a fine side.

Last Tuesday's Central League game between FGR and Plymouth Argyle was played at Stanley Park. 1.00pm kick off.
Unusually for Argyle they gave notice of the venue on their website the previous evening. A friend of mine went, and told me it was played on a pitch where there was some cover for spectators.

More info. regarding Stanley Park on the WDYG thread for September 9th. following my visit there to see Swindon Town U-18's. Certainly no access problems, but with about 12 pitches (grass/3G) available it's as well to check carefully in the dressing-room building on which pitch your chosen game is being played.

I've looked through this thread but can't find confirmation about public access to UCL, Shenley for Watford U-18 games. Anyone know if they allow spectators?

I was there in 2009 and it was a little tricky getting in with stewards on the gate asking difficult questions. Told them I'd come from Cardiff to see that club's U-18's and I was admitted. Hopefully, someone who's been there much more recently will update this post!

Does anyone know for sure where Swindon Town U18 v Bristol Rovers U18 is being played on Saturday morning?
Emailed both clubs but not had a response yet.
Rovers are usually good but not sure if Swindon are still at Stanley Park.
