mrack? havent seen him

I can do a flyby of Argyll and Pitfield some time, I'm right in the middle.

I'm thinking beginners polo will move central next year so happy to look in to places.

Aside from that, this looks awesome but is in Vauxhall

It's massive. (much like the url, soz)

oh yeah the argyle sq. spot is locked at 8

Argyle square gets used alot by basketball players, Ive also thought it looked a bit small for polo, but then ive only ridden past.

Yeah, when i've riden past it before i always thought it looked to small

I don't know how you get the link but search for Gunstor Road N16 and there is a court there. I only passed it briefly so didn't get full spec. Unlikely to have lights but worth a look at if anyone is in the area (Stoke Newington)

This one's been looked at a few times, not sure what the outcome was but it's usually busy with kids playing footie.

As suspected, wandered past last night and full of kids spittin and kicking a ball about.

how's mitch these days anyway? is there still a real need to find more courts?

mitch was locked shut tonight...so yes, we are i real need of new courts...esp for league.

Court at the junction of Portland Street and Wooler Street in Walworth, about five mins away from Newington, a park called Michael Faraday Gardens I think. Court is bigger than Newington but smaller than Mitchison. Fenced off but has a few gaps at the bottom which could be plugged by planks. No lights. Think there might be basketball rings but they're at the side rather than the ends IIRC.

Another court on the east side of Portland street, near the junction with Albany Road.

Another court close by, further west along Albany Road, on the north face of Burgess Park. No lights and basketball courts.

I'll put map references up tomorrow.

It would be way too scary to play there, unfortunately.

There's been a few instances of the local youths being dicks:

clocked it as i shot by. no lights, looked like it was unused/under possible development... any more info?

there was another bike jacking incident in burgess park recently too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aylesbury_Estate -with apologies to any residents, but if the council workers are too afraid to go to work there...

stop me if i repost unknowingly...

Having goals posts (with no cages) on a court renders it pretty useless as far as i'm concerned. Don't fancy getting clotheslined much

this is tough.

tennis court with lights, northampton road. (i know, posts, but maybe removable during winter?)

You could play on this but it is small and the surface is not so good.
Nice area though, there is the little park next to it where everyone could hang out.
The only real estate is the finsbury estate up the road and its not that bad at all.
