£5 Admission

Programme available, but I won’t buy one at any event organised by Groundhop U.K.

This was the only one of the four grounds that I hadn’t visited previously on today’s ‘hop. It is certainly the most expensive admission I have ever paid for what is basically Step 10 football, and probably the most any club at this level have ever charged for a match.

Despite being such a low level, it was far more entertaining than the rubbish served up at last nights match. Despite raining for most of the first half, the pitch remained in superb condition and both teams gave it a real go. Orton were far the better team and could have won by a much greater margin. Parkside took the honour of ‘goal of the day’ though, with a fantastic lob from close on 35 yards, pulling the score back to 2-1, but they never looked like adding another.
