Alveston v Coventry Whitley Directions - Sunday 23 January 2011

Whitley Juniors Pitch Location at Binley

Once again it's up the A46 to Whitley Juniors. The pitch address is: Binley Recreation Ground, Grange Avenue 

Coventry CV3 2ED. The photo on the left shows a new building called The John White Community Centre which I am guessing maybe the entrance to the ground. There are three choices: Route 1 (St James Lane through Willenhall), Route 2 (straight up A46 with Uturn) and Route 3 (Sat Navs may choose this route via Allard Way). Note: Whitley now play in purple, so can all team members wear the sky blue kit (normal home kit). Meeting at the HGC for 9.45 for 10.15 at pitch for 11.00 kick off.

Directions to Southam FC for Sunday 3 October 2010

Here are the directions (and sights) for Sunday. Meet at the Home Guard Club at 9.15 Sunday 3rd Oct 2010, then (30mins) to Southam FC for 9.45 - kick off at 10.30. Home Guard Club to Southam FC directions are here: CV47 2BJ (Banbury Rd/A423) It seems there are many ways to go, this route is 15.5 miles and 30 mins cutting across the fields.

If you do go this way, watch out for the horses (if they are still there), right turn at Harbury(photo2) then a roundabout where we turn right. Last roundabout right turn for M40/Banbury, where the ground is a gap in the hedge on the right.

What’s nearby for supplies? Not a lot – just a petrol station by the looks of it.

Coventry Sphinx Juniors v Alveston Juniors Directions for Sunday 19 Sep 2010

The next league match on Sunday 19th September 2010 will be the first away match of the season at Coventry Sphinx Juniors v Alveston Juniors at the Highway Cricket Club, Fletchamstead Highway, Coventry CV4 9BY. Here's how to get there, it should be 20.5 miles which Google say should be 30 minutes from the Alveston Home Guard Club.

So, it's North on the A46, exit onto the A45 (signed to Birmingham) over the first BP roundabout (photo 01 of the montage on the left), straight on at the crossroads (photo 02), over the next roundabout at Canley Fire and Police Stations (photo 03 - watch out for the two hedge footballers).

You are then looking  to exit onto a minor slip road that runs parallel with the A45 (see photos 04 and 05) where you have to cut across the junction. If you do that, then there will be a blue RSS shop on the left where the Highway Club will be found on the left (photo 06).  Full Google Directions. Note: most Sat Nav directions will take a route round the back of the A45 as some will not allow the cut across the minor road (photo04)

Food Tip: Domino Pizza is located within a 80 meter walk from the club on the same side of the road. McDonalds, Pizza Hut Express, KFC and Sainsbury are across the A45. Kick Off is 1.30pm. Coventry Sphinx have played two games so far winning 4-3 at Coventry Jaguar and 3-1 at Coventry Copsewood.
