    Forces Home grounds

    I was at a BBQ at RAF Uxbridge today, wondering about taking the children for a walk i asked what the sports ground was. It is where the RAF play their home football and rugby matches

    what division are they in, as i went in can i tick it off on facebook?

    where do the navy and army play their games?

        It's Solitude in Belfast, home to Cliftonville. I went to the primary school next door.

          The RAF, Navy and Army play mostly friendly matches against the likes of the civil service, the police, the fire service, the prison service, county FAs, the English Universities team and the Amateur Football Alliance.

          The RAF play most of their home games at Uxbridge, the Army in Aldershot and the Navy in Portsmouth and the three play an annual inter-services senior tournament in the spring. There are also inter-services tournaments for U23s and women.

            As statto99 says the RAF play friendly represenative games.

            Uxbridge, is however, used for the RAF Challenge Cup Final.

            Does that enable you to tick it off facebook? It's the RAF version of Wembley.

            It was/is a lovely playing surface and not bad facilities.

              I think the fact that Rick was there for a barbeque precludes him ticking it off on Facebook, although given what I've sen on my rare visits there it wouldn't totally surprise me if there was a "Football grounds you have visited but only for Barbeques" application.

                I can add Chesham United to my "Football grounds you have visited but only for a Bonfire/Fireworks Display" application...
