Worst- CBBEA (sorry Craig) it's basically a cage with an athletics track around it! Although, the teas were pretty damn tasty! :)

Best- Ryde. We played there for a school game and it was a really nice ground with a really good wicket

Oi its nice, you wouldnt think sh*t i'm playing at old down today would you??? or would you??? I agree the outfield is awful but it makes some games quite funny, pitch is always decent though! And i think ymca is nice, always seems to play well and outfield pretty flat.

Nicest is bedminster though with the worst being netham park by a long long way.

Lol I like playing at old down, just not fielding. But that could be said for most games :D

Bedminster was a good shout, we played them in u-15's after we won the league and I had the best bowling figures lol. Never forget that season, I averaged 1 after 5 games and I hit 5 against Bedminster lol.

Quick-Keep, I agree Pegasus is a decent ground.  Changing rooms are really small though, and the steps are a long walk back from the middle!  What club you play for?

worst - pyrford or Woking and horsell

best - Bank of England (one of the best roads in the south east?), any of the village grounds around dorking. I also played at some nice grounds in Holland, years ago, shame about the artificial tracks though

Ha, Pyrford, Classic uneven pitch, It was only fair when they didnt get promoted,

Have you played at Woodbridge road in guildford, That is probably the best ground i have played at, followed by holmbury st mary for a village ground,

Best all round west brom and dartmouth really nice pitch and ground
but enjoy current ground set behind a farm so way off ghe beaten track and have a huge crowd every week( of cows and sheep )
worst was a place where the pitch covers were carrier bags plus changing room were the groundsmens shed damn Sunday team

Best grounds: Truro CC: Stunning ground, only problem is that a river runs round half of the ground, and I've seen Marcus Trescothick lose about 8 balls in one innings...
Bracebridge Heath CC: Fairly picturesque, good bar as well!
Sleaford CC: really nice ground, nice and big for me (being a spinner!), good bar, etc.

Worst: Ooo, being a club cricketer there's a huge list!
Nocton CC: Outfield like the Alps again, portaloos for toilets, rotting wood for a pavilion, horrible!
Aisthorpe CC: Literally as above, really bad.
Long Sutton CC: Nothing wrong with the ground, but I could have found better teas in a dustbin!

Aswarby? Baston?

Have you played at Woodbridge road in guildford, That is probably the best ground i have played at, followed by holmbury st mary for a village ground,
I have played at both - the guildford ground a few times, on the end of some heroic beatings too (including watching the ball sail over my head a few times as one of their players hit 120odd off 60 balls...)
The holmbery ground it truely lovely, especially with a BBQ afterwards...
