A Football weekend

Goldsdown Road

Throughout 2004 Goldsdown Road saw some significant changes and as well as being enclosed during the close season, three stands now cater for spectator comfort. The first thing you will notice when you come in through the new turnstiles that are in place, is a new clubhouse stand to the left (pictured below).

Turning back, you can see the turnstile block that has been installed by Brimsdown FC.

Turn right to the halfway line and you can see the 150 seater stand (below). Not everybody likes standing at the game and the seats should be a bonus for those of us who want to take the weight off our feet and relax with a programme.

We also have "old faithful" that sits opposite this stand near the dugouts. This has been moved forwards to pitchside and has had stepped terracing added.

Travelling to Enfield Town FC?

Enfield Town play at Brimsdown Rovers Goldsdown Road ground.There are a variety of ways to get there, be it by car, public transport or just plain walking.

By car from north:- M25 to Junction 25 then head south on the A10, turning left at the second set of traffic lights (Landmark - Beefeater Pub and Restaurant on other side of A10) into Carterhatch Lane. At the end of the road turn right into Hertford Road then left at the next mini-roundabout into Green Street (Landmark - Sporting Green Public House). At the next mini-roundabout turn left into Goldsdown Road, the ground lies directly ahead.

By car from the East:- North Circular Road (A406) towards Edmonton. On the flyover, take the slip-road for the A1055 and follow this road north towards Brimsdown. After passing Picketts Lock Sports Centre and the UCI Cinema complex on the right, go straight ahead at the next three roundabouts before turning left (sign-posted Enfield Highway, Landmark - Matalan Store on right) and go over the level crossing at Brimsdown Station. Take the immediate first right into Brimsdown Avenue and then the next left into Osbourne Road. Turn right at the top of the road and the ground lies directly ahead.

By Bus The 191 route terminates at Brimsdown Station. The 307 runs between Southbury and Brimsdown stations. A new bus is the 491, which runs from Silver Street BR to Brimsdown BR via the good old Edmonton Green BR! Nice one, chaps.

By Train Brimsdown station is on a line out of Liverpool Street (connects with Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Central Lines, plus other BR services). The other tube station from which you can get a connection is Tottenham Hale on the Victoria Line. Southbury station also connects to Liverpool Street and is a good alternative if the Brimsdown line is down.

Walk from Brimsdown Station Either turn left down Green Street as you leave the station and turn right into Goldsdown Road or cross over Green Street into Brimsdown Avenue, turn left into Osborne Road and right into Goldsdown Road at the end. The Downs Bar is to the left of Brimsdown Rovers social club.
