Brief Directions By Road
From Stirling Corner on the A1 turn onto the A411 for Elstree. Stay on this road until a roundabout with A41. Go straight over towards Harrow. You will pass immediately under a bridge, then about a quarter of a mile up this road, at the mini-roundabout, turn left into Heathbourne Road (A409). Straight on at traffic lights onto next roundabout and turn right onto A410 Uxbridge Road

At the next roundabout - turn left into Courtenay Avenue. Go straight over roundabout, and continue down a short dual carriageway (passing Kodak on your left - road becomes Harrow View), to the next set of traffic lights. Turn right, into Headstone Gardens. Continue to next set of traffic lights at North Harrow. Go straight-ahead (A4090 Station Road, becoming Imperial Drive), signposted to Rayners Lane / South Harrow, passing North Harrow underground station on your right hand side. Continue straight over at two sets of lights, then into Rayners Lane (passing Rayners Lane underground station on your right hand side), continuing on A4090, Alexandra Avenue)

After approximately a mile and a half, at the next major set of traffic lights, turn right into Eastcote Lane (a large pub called The Matrix is on the right hand side at this junction). Take the next left into Carlyon Avenue, then Earlsmead is second on the right.

Car Parking
The is a very small car park at the ground but is usually reserved for officials. Street parking is plentiful although the locals roads around the ground are very narrow.

Directions By Train
Northolt Underground station is just over a mile from the ground. Turn left out of the station until you reach Eastcote Lane. Turn left by the Mattrix pub (see above) next left into Carlyon Avenue, then Earlsmead is second on the right. Raynors Lane is a little further afield but the walk will involve passing a good selection of pubs and eating opportunities.

Supporters Coaches
For information check out the BFCSA website at www.bfcsa.co.uk.

The Social Club
The club house will be available to all and is a very smart facility with a decent range of beers.

Ground Description
The ground has a capacity of around 3,000 with covered standing opposite a main stand which can accommodate approx. 500. Another small covered standing area is situated to the stand's left. Both end terraces are fairly shallow and uncovered. To the best of my knowledge we have never met Harrow Borough in a competitive match before.

Admission Prices
I am afraid I have no info as to admission prices at the time of writing.

Celebrity Watch
Borough's Manager is Barnet legend David Howell; his assistant is Kenny Charlery. Edwin Stein was once a manager here too. Phil Gridelet was a coach here at one time. Albert Adomah was discovered here. What more celebrities do you need? Ok then?.. spotted in the local Waitrose recently were Clare Rayner (ironically she lived in Raynors Lane, Reckless wonder fact), Bob Holness (looking for the toilets, - think about it!), Simon Le Bon, Matt Lucas, Mark Ramprakash and sultry Lindsay Dawn McKenzie.
