I still shudder when I remember playing those b'stards back in the 1980's.
Hardest place to go and play back then as most of their players were as fit as butchers dogs and psychotic loons.

On the oft mentioned topic of plough lane, IMG, corporate hospo, sponsors and "moving", surely it would have been easier to renegotiate terms with Ealing rather than spend more to rent 4 grounds, heavily discount corporate hospo, shed all shirt sponsors and allienate more of the few remaining fans by settting up an OFFICIAL supporters group designed to do nothing other than p1ss off the existing supporters group who do pay to be on the clubs shirts?
Just a thought.

Met Police still use it for rugby and football plus tennis England have also just invested a lot of money on tennis facilities at the place.The local residents got a 35 year lease on running the club as there were rumours that a school wanted to build a new school on it and property developers were interested in in, but the locals around here would object to even putting up a washing line in a garden.

It is just down the road from Esher train station and Thames Ditton train stations but Thames Ditton line is a branch line so if something is going on they usually have restricted services.Ten minute walk from both.Bonus is 15 minutes from the A3.
The club is just down the road from the Thames and is in Surrey and the club as people can see in the pictures is great for families with loads of space to do activities ( pig just flew past the window) :D but i suppose with the met playing there still fitting in matches might been a problem.
Bonus is Elmbridge Eagles are just down the road which run a good programme for youngsters.

Met Police FC are basically nothing to with the Met these days
The Met rehab fund, who own the facility, had an embarrassingly large amount of money in the bank so voted to open the football club to all and started paying players. Last time I was there, only one person associated with the Met, a civvy employee, was on the field. One of the Met players had his agent sitting just in front of me.

Trevor Brooking's brother all but ran the football club on his own for years. Alessia Russo's dad Mario is still their leading goalscorer. He was a policeman. Mario could have done well if he moved to a paying club but stayed with the Met football team.

Last time I saw the rugby ground there, it wasn't enclosed but there wasn't a huge stand there then so that may have changed.
