Yeah it's absolutely immaculate, can't get all the way around the pitch but the best views will be from the footpath running down to the main street so all good. Couple of pints before kickoff and everybody's happy

At Coldstream with Alnwick today, a ground I would not otherwise be getting to and hopefully photogenic

Aye they were, a fair few of us were wondering if they'd be able to carry on at Alliance level. Been quite the fall for them. Happily replaced by Newbiggin in NL2 so we still have a derby.

Every other airport associated with a city has its runway 50 yards from, and parallel with, its main shopping street of course

There'll be 15 or 20 almost identical threads to comb through before you come across it, and the one it's in will be called "hmmm thoughts on.." or something

I hope we can retire DJ Otzi as well edit beaten to it

dear me

Just the usual noisy kids was what I saw but I left before the end. Was driving past just after FT and the Benfield kids were all running away from the ground looking pretty suspicious

Yeah, I've heard a couple of people talking about it so it must have been serious at some point but if ever a project just wasn't feasible, it's that. Incredible place to watch a game but the constraints are very constraining there

Have you ever seen it? The groundwork needed would be phenomenal, and they get gates of about six and don't charge entry. It would be amazing but I can't see anything ever happening. Literally the only flattish part of the site is the pitch, everything else is cut into the hill. There's a huge drop-off on two edges of the pitch, people are up and down retrieving balls the whole time.

It's a brutal league to try to blood mid level unknown quantities from lower tier European sides like, I'm not sure where this optimism for them is coming from.

Looks amazing I keep trying to catch (and photograph) a football team playing at Bamburgh but I don't think they have one any more

Seaton Deleval and Wallington are both experiences not to be missed. Faded glory and a field respectively. Rothbury short on quality but what a place to play football

It's a bit short on quality (no idea if these are anything like the regular first elevens, I feel like Benfield just about shaded the first half) but aye can't object to a sunny game in July for £4. Alnwick last night was like November

No, I was there last night for the comprehensive and unexpected demolition of what I assume was not anything like Whickham's first team but I'll miss Tuesday I think

I'm an Alnwick Town season ticket holder for three consecutive years man, I'm now entitled to travel anywhere without hipster accusations I reckon I don't even know who's Stan and who's Benfield like

Parked just somewhere nearby with a permissive looking parking restrictions board, no idea if it was legit or not. Great little setup here and loving the 70s film soundtrack mixtape

Cheers. And can you get parked there? Looks a bit boxed in

Is Heaton Stan cashless? Might go and watch their friendly this afternoon

Should have looked in the Northern League, they could have got 30 or 40 new players easy

I've just seen it and I am canny underwhelmed like, for all the buzz around it

Not Noah, No-weh

Maresca won't improve him at all, he won't even be playing
