Cumbriansaint72 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Near to where I'm at is good old borough park, home of workington afc or workington reds as they are also known. The stadium (if you can call it that) is a step back in time to the 60s, only thing missing is old wooden stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed now by ex saint, Danny Grainger, very, very non league but still decent enough for a football fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the 'character' ☺ of the older grounds and pleased I grew up watching the game at some good old venues. Sadly they are all being gradually replaced by functional but dull new builds. On the non league scene down here, I get to the odd Dunston game. They're only a few miles from me. Sure they're in the same league as Workington. Will look out for the fixture over there. Wouldn't mind a trip, tier restrictions allowing of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Saint Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Had a train trip to a Barrow game booked before football was halted. Trying to get round the 92 league grounds, although I think it's down to 90 since the demise of Bury and Coventry sharing with Birmingham. Currently on 75 at their current homes. Was gonna risk going to Barrow in anticipation of them hopefully gaining a league two place but had to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was asked about those times if I would take gretna fans to hampden for semi final of cup, told boss at time that no chance, I'd take them to newcastle shopping instead. My boss looking horrified at this asked why to which I replied "they put st mirren out on quarters", his reply............FFS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, was a good week that. Was at the 1st two. Carlisle was my first ever away game with Newcastle. Went as a 15 year old in 1982. Terrible showing and a 2-0 defeat in the old 2nd division. The regular away trippers around me were seething at such a display but I was just thrilled to be at an actual away game. Can remember one visit not too many years ago for a 'friendly' when we received a less than warm welcome. Despite that I generally want Carlisle to do well.

Carlisle is a shockingly bad run team to be honest, a good season in eyes of owners is making play offs or just missing out, don't get promoted cos that cost money even before covid. They have got off well this season but I'd say 10 games to go they will change as usual. I used to be interested mid 00's, watched them drop out the league and that was horrible, next season watched them go back up and then nearly to championship and that's when the negative play and losing came in. Going from an attacking team to playing 1 up top home and away, etc hasn't changed except lg2 instead of lg1 doesn't matter who manager is.

New one looks like an updated version of say Bolton and Huddersfield stadiums. Reebok and McAlpine because I'm old🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
