How to choose the right venue: what the photos don’t tell you

Surface, lights, parking and the three lines on a venue page that matter more than the gallery.

A venue page shows you the same things every time: the surface and what it is good for, the amenities the owner has listed, the rating from people who have actually played there, and the next free slot.

For an evening game, look for floodlights in the amenities and check the opening hours — a ground that closes at nine is no use for a nine o’clock kick-off. For a big group, check parking and changing rooms before you check the price.

And look for the Verified badge. Every verified venue has been checked by MyGameBooking, so the photos are the ground you will turn up to.
