Sportpark Harga Midden, Schiedam (Cricket & Football Club Hermes-DVS, formerly SVV)
Netherlands, province: South Holland
9 X 2011 / Hermes-DVS - SVV 1-3 / District West II, Sunday League 3B (= NL level 7)
Note 1: Hermes-DVS were a professional league side between 1954 and 1971, moving its first team to Harga Midden in 1960; between 1964 and 1970, Schiedam's other pro side, SVV, groundshared with Hermes-DVS at this ground. In 1970, SVV's new ground - also at Harga - was finally upgraded with a main stand to allow hosting professional league football. The original grandstand and terraces at Sportpark Harga Midden were demolished in 2005 and replaced by the stand visible in the photos below. C&FC Hermes-DVS abandoned Sportpark Harga Midden in March 2019 in favour of the newly built Sportpark Nieuw Harga, which it shares with ssv HBSS and SVV - with each club disposing of its own main pitch. Hermes' old ground was demolished subsequently to make way for housing.
Note 2: Below, a combination of pictures taken on different visits, chronologically: non-matchday visit, March 2011 = photos no. 1-3 / matchday visit, October 2011 = photos no. 7-13 / non-matchday visit, November 2017 = 4-6, 14. Also note, by comparing photos 3 (2011) and 14 (2017), how a completely new backdrop behind the main stand appeared in the interceding years.
