Play at Sandhurst Town now, the owner has plans to build 126 houses on their larges lane ground in Bracknell. But plans to build a new stadium in Bracknell seem to have gone quiet.
Starting to look like another ruthless chairman's land grab.
I hope they get another local game as there are a few teams & grounds they could play at. Teams like Slough, Maidenhead, Flackwell Health, Berko etc. Granted they won't be much of a challenge, a packed ground for these clubs could set them up for the season!
This would have been the ideal pre-season for me. A short walk from home, with an added bonus of a decent bar with a real ale selection. Sadly, now due to I suspect to the greed element, the old Bracknell ground is empty, awaiting planning permission I assume. Instead I have to walk 6 miles across Swinley Forest, ducking the shells from the military on Sandhurst Ranges, before emerging at the soulless SB Ground. Bring back Loakes Park I say.

At least 17 other clubs have that exact same badge
Name them? ...
We'll need details of the US tour soon if we're to book tickets ;)
Shame we won't be facing the elusive Dave Tarpey, he scored 19 goals for Bracknell last season but has just signed for Leatherhead.
Carshalton Athletic
Cheltenham Town
Bristol City
Charlton Ath
All had a Robin on their badge at various times.
Lol I was being facetious, but that 'modern' robin does pop up quite a lot. King's Lynn's linnet looks pretty much the same.

Having a Robin on the badge and "that exact same badge" aren't the same thing. It's the modern world I know ...
Frome Town
Bridgewater United

I think I saw my first ever Sunday football game at Bracknell back in the days when hardly anything was allowed to happen on Sundays.
seem to remember an early afternoon kick-off as well all of which was very strange at the time.
All due to the three-day week I think*
*for those of you too young to remember don’t worry, we seem to be revisiting the past so I’m sure it will come around again soon
Away to Chesham on Friday 29th July
Expect A. Trialist and all of his extended family to be playing in that one then...
Looks like our development squad, will be playing at the Meadow in Amy Lane twice in pre season.
As we are down to play Chesham Utd and Aylesbury United.
