Geordie Saint Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 There's a decent documentary on BBC Iplayer about the demise and possible resurrection of football in Bury available just now. Called "Bringing Back Football" IIRC. Talks about a phoenix club, which many Bury fans are opposed to in the hope they can revive the original Bury FC. It's worth a watch IMO. Quote
Cumbriansaint72 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 Will need to watch that, watched the Robbie Savage one about Macclesfield which was good. I think it was the class of 92's Salford City series that really set the ball rolling. Quote
Geordie Saint Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Off topic I know, so I apologise but I was kind of in your area on NYD Cumbrian saint. I went to Barrow v Bradford as part of my "Doing the 92" attempt. That's 82 done now. Very old fashioned ground but give me that over these new builds any day. Obviously clubs need to move on in certain circumstances, as Saints did but there's still a bit of atmosphere at St Mirren. Or at least there was cos I've not managed to get back since covid reared its ugly head. I will return though. COYS! Some places are just so dull and soulless. I was at Colchester in Nov and it was awful. Hats off to the regulars there cos it's not a pleasant football watching experience at all. Edited January 10, 2022 by john scott Typo Quote

Yeah, Holker Street at Barrow is fairly old fashioned same as Borough park at workington although they are very non league. Don't know if you have ever suffered memorial stadium in Bristol, away fans are stuck in uncovered area. Quote
Geordie Saint Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Yeah, was there last month. Know what you mean. Lots of temporary marquee type stands too. Think they've plans to move to a new home in the Bristol fruit market which I think is near Temple Meads but will be a good few years yet. If it comes to fruition. Pardon the pun. Quote
Cumbriansaint72 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Priestfield stadium at Gillingham another crap one for the away support. One that has been put back into use is the Darlington arena(ex reynolds). Quote

About 500 of us behind one goal, 500 home fans behind the other...in a stadium with 28k seats. Quote
StanleySaint Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Yep I was there too, was it Dorman who got a nasty injury in that game? Quote

Rather mad if they though they would fill that in lg2 when there were much higher profile teams not that far away. Anyway drifted off a bit so going back to old grounds, brunton park high up there.

StanleySaint Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Yes, one of my favourite pre seasons, Blyth Spartans, Whitley Bay and Carlisle in the one week during the ill fatex summer of Ball Quote
Cumbriansaint72 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Workington v carlisle preseason matches always a bit tasty, still a lot of ill feeling from the 70s as carlisle abstained from voting when it came to voting Workington out of the league, which helped put them out to be replaced by Wimbledon.
