Hi All,
From the Wisden Guide to Cricket Grounds by William Powell
with Peter Powell and Alex Bannister.
Ground: Repton
Home of: Derbyshire
Status: First Class
The only entrance to the Repton ground is from Willington Road through
he
main gates near to St Wystan's Church. Limited car parking is available
ithin
the ground but only for players and officials. A large car park is available
at
the rear of the chapel and main school buildings, a short walk from the
cricket
pitch. In the ground itself, the only permanent buildings are the pavilion
with
its thatched roof and the scoreboard on the east side of the ground.The
members' area and refreshment tents are located on the steep bank close to
he
school buildings as is the Derbyshire C C C S C caravan. the remainder of the
ground is open for the public.
All spctators should bring their own collapsible seats as no seats are
provided whatsoever, except adjoining the front of the pavilion for the
ress.
There is no space for seating at the Brook End as the playing area is tight
against the perimeter wall.
The north and east sides of the ground are lined with trees which, with
the
school buildings, provide a fine scene for cricket. the playing area is 115
metres by 120 metres and is defined only by advertisement boards.
Regards, O o//,. /
