The Airfield
The home ground of Airbus UK F.C..
The last match of the 2006/7 season against Haverfordwest County ended with a 2-0 for Airbus.
This was their third season in the Welsh Premier League, and the first season that Airbus have not been fighting against relegation come the last day of the season! Progress is being made on an off the pitch.

Just too late
This was the site of the Broughton V.P. School on Broughton Hall Road, which was built after 1881 and demolished circa 2006. The site is now being developed for much needed executive housing. Hopefully someone has a photo of the old building? The A55 link-road underpass can just be seen at the far right.
