NE London Bike Polo: Wednesdays: Mitchison Road N1 / Weekends:Hackney Downs E5

yep, in NE we were just 8, so plenty of games for everyone

Bill told me on Saturday that there might be people playing Tuesday night at Broadway Market... is anyone going?

yep, probably a lot of people because the weather is promising

Is it promising mountainbikes?

hell yeah!

Love this court.

Great court. May even be .... best in London! More playing needed.

Has it got a roof?

Wishful. It's the only thing it doesn't have though.

No :(

One day...

(shut up you Peckham pushers).

Lights were amazing. Fantastic games on a great court. Perfect surface in the wet, maybe a bit grippy in the dry, but great size, layout, walls and non-playing area. + rep Gabes, as soon as I am able.

just added pics to the first post.

it loads bigger than it looked in the other photos!
floodlighting looks great aswell, +1 gabes

That's really, really new isn't it? I wanted to play there one day that the 5-a-side was on at Downham Road, but it wasn't built.

Damnit, if only I'd gone back recently I could have claimed this as my own!

Good games, good court.

Nuff said.

Can I just say that this court rocks - even though I did have 5 (count them) punctures!

nice size, great lights, smooth surface, I like it very sexy much

How wide are the goals?

Not wide enough for some of us Roxy. I need football goals the way my shooting's going.

But yeah, they're a little big for league games maybe, but ace fun for throw-ins.

Two cones solves the issue though.

Reek and I will get cones sat morning from outside our house (roadwork), only 100m away.

+1 whs

It's not new, been there since the 60's (just been refurbed). I can't believe the Dover boys are gonna have to put up with hipsters on their doorstep. be warned, they might not take too kindly to it.

do you know the area Jon?
