We checked out the Kings X court last night, pretty decent I should say:
Thanks Kev for finding this court. Pints from the NE crew the next time you see them!
It's a good size, like Downs. We can book it and best of all it's FFRRRREEEE! There's lights till 10 but it didn't come on tonight. Booking slots are only for an hour but they do allow group booking if they're informed beforehand.
There bit of gravel on court near the entrance because of the garden centre adjacent but nothing a sweep can't clear. Surface is alright, although it looks new, there's quite some bobble on court. The lack of boards also means that the ball gets stuck right by the fence quite often. There are also goals with a chest height crossbar across it but thats a quick fix by putting some 6 inch planks across.
Spoke to a few local kids and they seem alright, they didn't make a fuss while we were playing although they wanted the court for footie. Best though to book the court beforehand if we wanna hold sessions there, saves dealing with kids at all.
