Without a link to your exact implementation, it's impossible to tell
you exactly what you need to do, but there are two things that you're
going to want to do. First, to add the hidden query information, you
want to use the searcher's .setQueryAddition method to add "Football
Ground", like this:
searcher.setQueryAddition('Football Ground'); // where searcher is the
LocalSearch object you're using
Second, you're going to have to intercept the form's submit event and
run a regular expression on the search query to make sure it matches
the general pattern of a post code. For instance, if I was going to
do this in the US with a ZIP code, I would use:
if(!query.match(/^\d{5}(-\d{4})$/)){alert("That's not a valid ZIP
code!");} // where query is the query that the user is trying to submit
