Ground The original Bedford Town played at London Road in 1886, before playing most of its matches at Bedford Park between 1887 and 1890.[2] They then moved to a ground located off London Road.[2] After being reformed in 1908, the club started playing at a site off London Road, before moving to the Queens Park football ground in Queens Park during October.[10] The pitch was originally between Havelock Street and Lawrence Street, before they moved to one at the end of Nelson Street.[10] There were initially no spectator facilities, with duckboards only put down in November 1911.[10] During World War I the ground was used by the Army, and it was still in use in 1919 when the club started playing again. As a result, they played on the playing fields of County School until being able to return to Queens Park in December 1919.[10] In 1982 the club's lease on Queens Park was terminated and after a proposed new ground in the Barkers Lane area failed to come to fruition, the club folded.[9] When the club re-formed in 1989, they initially played on public pitches in Queens Park, before finding a site in Cardington to build a new ground. The New Eyrie opened on 6 August 1993 with a friendly match against Peterborough United attracting what remains the ground's record attendance of 3,000.[9][12] It has a capacity of 3,000, of which 300 is seated and 1,000 covered.[12] The ground is located next to McMullen Park, the home ground of local rivals Bedford.
