Bracknell Town’s Larges Lane ground is currently undergoing it’s second major upgrade since 2010 – albeit a far more comprehensive version with a new artificial surface being laid, but back in the mid 2000s we asked photographer Arron Burton to capture the ground as it was.

These are the results which would have first been published on the old club website, but are reproduced here for you and include a brilliant image of the late Ray Coxhead driving the mower up and down the Larges Lane turf.

Since this article was originally posted, Bracknell Town have announced they are set to leave Larges Lane.
