Snowed off AGAIN !!

Although i don't enjoy driving in the snow i do like to see the fields and tree's i don't know why there is just something i like about it, But being truthful and you all probably feel the same i am totally fed up with it now it is affecting our beautiful game and i cant wait to see the back of it.
What to do now well the other half did say lets go shopping but i put my foot down and said no i went last week and it drove me insane so luckily for me she has gone with her friend and i can have some ME time and watch Ipswich Town v Swansea City and then Jeff Stelling and Co on Soccer Saturday including funny men Chris Kamara and Dean Windass (he represents Scarborough now in their programme) two very funny men when it comes to match commentary (see below).

We were supposed to be making the short trip to Hall Road Rangers today they have just been taken over by former Town Management duo Billy Heath and Mark (Bobby) Carrol who had a successful time with us winning three trophies the Wilkinson Sword 2002 the East Riding senior cup 2005 and the league in 2003 gaining us promotion to the UniBond league so they are still two very popular men with the Town supporters and i wish them both well at Dene Park.

As for Town and when we will play again well we were supposed to be at home to Selby next week but because of Boro's Fa vase game our game is cancelled but hopefully the league will see sense and switch our game to play at Selby all Weather permitting of course.

Bus shelter features in Bridlington Town Snowman competition promo picture

Oh and if you have not heard although it looked and sounded quite promising for us to win the bid for the 2018 World cup we were clearly cheated out of it with the dodgy going's on at FIFA we were eliminated from the bidding in the first round with two votes Russia the eventual winners, its a massive blow and it sickens me to think that the whole thing stinks reports of bribes to help win the votes is so wrong. Personally i think we should drop out of FIFA and form a new honest Football federation, the Muppets at FIFA should not be able to get away with this.

All games are off

As expected our game v Parkgate was called off this morning after a pitch inspection (see pic below) and so were the other 9 games in our league and the other 10 games in division 1.

the Weather does not look good for the next three or four days so i would think our game on Tuesday v Armthorpe will also be in doubt.

thanks to Trevor Emmett for the picture

What to do now well i dont fancy shopping but that is probably what will happen as the other half will expect it from me as we have no game but our forum are running a Bridlington Town snowman competition with the fantastic prize of a £2 yes that's two English pounds club shop voucher so i could be tempted to try and win this, below is Bridlington Town's very own Warren Spear's attempt and a very good one it is.

Warren's Brid Town snowman

Well only a small update but i will leave you with a nice song from SNOW Patrol hope you like it and fingers crossed i will see you in the Bus Shelter on Tuesday night.

The Derby

Well what a game it was one of those full of ups and downs. first minute of the match Boro win a corner and former Hull City man Mike Price put them one up direct from the corner. although we had a very good shout for a foul on the keeper it was just the start we did not need. but credit to our lads they got stuck in and played the nice and attractive football we all know and love we started to dominate the game creating some very good chances one of which Craig Hogg found himself one on one with former Town keeper Tom Woodhead but Hogg blasted his shot over and Wayne Wallace also went close with a powerful driving shot. Palmer and Fleming also forced some quality saves from Woodhead. Boro's Ryan Blott also had a good looping effort saved by Ben Saynor which brought a big sarcastic cheer from the Boro fans. just as it looked like Town would go in at half time one down we won a free kick that was floated into the box and Steve Lyon slotted the ball past Woodhead to go in level.
The second half we started as we left off dominating the match but totally against the run of play Boro went ahead after a long kick from Woodhead was flicked on and Ryan Blott slotted the ball under Saynor.
but within minutes the Seasiders were level a long pass from James Bennett found an unmarked Craig Hogg and he slotted the ball past Woodhead. what a game it was turning out to be my two mates Stu and Graham both avid Boro fans who would normally be giving me grief were both saying "thats it your gonna win it now" and then bang a bit of a scramble in the Boro goal mouth and James Bennett hits the ball past Woodhead we are 3-2 up and rightly deserved we were by far the better team on the day. Stu and Graham are stunned. but three minutes later a moment of magic from Boro favourite Ryan Blott he took the ball past maybe three or four challenges and smashed the ball past Saynor into the roof of the net it was a bloody good goal and i take my hat of to the lad despite it being against my team it was a pleasure to witness such a fine goal and from a lad who has received a lot of abuse from a minority of Brid fans over the last few years as Andy Gray would say "Tickaboo Son" it was fab. this was to be the last goal in the game although both teams created chances to win it the best chance falling to Craig Hogg after strike partner Craig Palmer slotted the ball through to him and yet again one on one with the keeper Hogg's shot took the slightest of deflections off Woodhead only to see his goal bound shot hit the post and be cleared for a corner.
A decent game of Football and one we probably should have won. also a very good crowd 725 well done to everyone for making this another classic encounter between two very good teams and also a nice quiet night at the pub with Stu and Graham.

Also in the news
Bridlington born Sheffield United footballer Richard Cresswell was on the score sheet yesterday when he equalised from the penalty spot. United went on to win the game against Crystal Palace 3-2

New sign

Recently at Queensgate our big BRIDLINGTON TOWN sign had been taken down and questions were asked on the Brid Town forum,a few people mentioned that we might have a possible new Stadium sponsor which would be a massive boost to the club financially, well tonight when i was dropping the missus off at bingo i had a quick look over at the ground (club house shut again)and i noticed the silhouette of a new sign so being nosey i turned the car around and went back to have a look, there it was the nice new sign and the news we had all been waiting for the Queensgate Stadium will now be known as
THE NEIL HUDGELL LAW STADIUM
I have just had a look for him on the web www.neil-hudgell.co.uk
its also interesting to see he sponsors Leeds United, Hull City and Hull KR in fact Mr Hudgell is the current Chairman of Hull KR.
some good news before the small encounter of the Queensgate derby tomorrow or should that be the Neil Hudgell Law Stadium derby. As for the game well i have agreed to go with my good pals and drinking buddies tomorrow both of them regular Athletic fans and have both given me a very hard time when they have beaten us. but i am not like them if we win i am not one for gloating, fingers crossed i will be able to meet the lads tomorrow night for a nice quiet drink and not one where they are taking the p**s all night !!! Come on lads dont let me down

Town v Reckitts

East Riding Senior Cup 2nd round



footage recorded by Mr Trevor Emmett

I'm back

first of all i would like to apologise for the lack of posts, Well the bloody computer broke down and i was without out it for weeks and then when i finally got it fixed and set up again i just never got around to updating the blog so here we are.

So far the Seasiders are having another decent season despite being knocked out of the big money cups losing 1-0 to Shildon who we beat last season and then the one that hurts me we lost 3-1 to Scarborough Athletic but you cant knock them they put in a very good performance on the night and rightfully deserved the win. as for the league well at the moment we are sitting pretty in 3rd place with 31 points from 13 games we are also still in the League cup, Presidents cup after a 5-1 against Leeds Carnegie (see video below) and the East Riding senior cup so another good chance of silverware under the guidance of Manager Gary Allanson who to the Town supporters delight committed his future to the Seasiders after being linked with the vacant Scarborough job it would have been devastating if he had left for our rivals and my mates would have loved winding me up. No game tomorrow as we should have been at home to Dinnington but because Boro progressed in the Vase they are at home to Armthorpe (i can see Boro winning this one easy). On Tuesday we play Reckitts who are a very good side from Hull they play in the Humber Premier league and will probably have a lot of ex Town players playing for them it could be a tricky game but we should get through it, then next up its round 3 of Town v Boro in fact i think we are the away team so it should read Boro v Town as i said above we were second best last time and for me we dont want to lose this one we need to bring the Queensgate bragging rights back to the Brid end of the ground. should be another cracking encounter with another bumper crowd fingers crossed it will all run smoothly and there will be no trouble although i have just read on the Brid Forum that Boro have made an approach to sign another one of our Galacticos although it has not been confirmed who the player is yet but reports coming in they have offered an extra £10 a week more than we pay and also guaranteed Evo Stik football next season !!!

A View from the Bus shed ???

Well it was the first home friendly for my beloved Seasiders today we played Stocksbridge park steels who play in the Evo Stick premier division two leagues above us it was a very good game and our boys were excellent in fact the passing simply brilliant. Town legend Phil Harrison put us one nil up with a nice effort slipping the ball past the keeper at the left hand post.Steels almost hit back straight away but Mark Wilberforce pulled of one of the "How the hell did he get that" saves the lad is an amazing keeper, a couple of times i kept on thinking how well we might have done in the Evo stick league as at times we passed Stocksbridge off the park. come the second half the Steels equalised with a superb piece of football and a blistering shot left Wilber with no chance (just built the lad up and then this happens lol). I think i can say we were the better team on the day the new signings slotted in nicely we definitely wont miss the mercenaries who left for Scarborough. Craig Hogg a player who we know has a great talent had a very good game today possibly his best in a Town shirt he never stopped running he was taking the ball around players he looked sharp and fingers crossed he will have a great season for us and today when he beat the Steels off-side trap he showed us his quality when he smashed the ball past the keeper to give us a 2-1 lead and win us the match.

finally and with great disappointment when i arrived at the Queensgate stadium i am greeted by Norman some know him as Big Norm "seen what someone has done to the Bus shelter" so when we get there its all looking very nice its been painted at the back a nice cream colour but someone has also painted the words "THE BUS SHED" i was so wound up by this for crying out loud its a bloody BUS SHELTER what do i do change the name of my blog to A VIEW FROM THE BUS SHED, The good news is after i complained to Mr Smurthwaite he said he would arrange to have it changed or painted over.

We are playing Scarborough Town on Wednesday night, some say it could be their last ever game after Scarborough council failed to give them permission to put floodlights up and a few other requirements that would have allowed them to play in the NCEL division 1 its such a shame, they are a team made of young Scarborough lads that were very successful in their previous league. i like this team and i kind of wanted them to do well they are also run by Mitch Cook a very good football coach, i met him about 5 years ago and he is a very nice man, my two mates who are Athletic fans dreaded the thought of Scarborough Town getting in the NCEL they reckoned if they were to win the NCEL 1 and Athletic failed to win the league it could have been the death of Athletic as supporters might prefer to support a team from Scarborough that plays in Scarborough damn shame it all fell through a damn shame.

The dream is over

Same old same old, its not been the best World cup and not just because England have been awful the dreaded Vuvuzela and some strange results, Today we met the old enemy Germany and although we have been playing rubbish i honestly thought our boys would be up for it and go and turn the Gerry's over. Oh dear how wrong was i, we relied too much on the likes of Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard and Terry but they were never at this World Cup they might as well have brought some players from the Championship we never ever looked like we had a team that could of won this tournament but the way we lost it today was embarrassing the back four were all over the place a giving the Germans acres of space. at two nil down we were given a small glimmer of hope i went to the loo and when i got back get in 2-1 a goal from Cart horse Matthew Upson he scored with a header and only minutes later Lampard lobbed the ball towards goal and it clearly went over the line only for the Ref and Liner not to give the goal i am sure if we the goal had been given we might just have held on and gone to penalties and we know how good at them we are dont we NOT. I feel destroyed at the way the German's ripped us apart our defence was all over the place. an awful World Cup and an embarrassing England performance - should Fabio take the blame well at £4,000,000 per year i feel we have been let down and yes he has failed i personally think we should have an English Manager that wants the best for our country and not some glorified coach that is just hear for the money. roll on the start of the football season

The rumours have started

As always at this time of year you always hear rumours of which players are signing for this club and that club and for a few days now the Brid supporters have been hearing of players quitting our team and moving to Scarborough Athletic rumour has it that Boro have almost doubled Brian France's wage budget allowing him to sign better quality players and some of ours are sure to be tempted by the higher wages than most clubs at our level can afford, one player who looks a dead cert to have already gone is Frank Belt a Bridlington lad who has a rocket of a free kick a nice lad but i am sure we can find a replacement as good. although only rumours at the moment but more players from our Championship winning squad are sure to be tempted by the extra money Boro can afford to pay. I have not been Athletic's biggest fan and my mates who are both Boro supporters have not helped me with my feelings (they bloody hammered me in the league defeat last season), I kind of hope they can progress and get close to the football league like the old Scarborough and as long as we dont lose to them ever again. i just hope that most of our players will stick with us. Good luck to Frankie hope he has a good season well not that good you know what i mean don't you

Things can only get better

Well its England's second match in the 2010 World cup against Algeria the Town(Bridlington) is buzzing supporters going to the pub to watch the match, me and the lads opt for Greyhound its heaving we cant get close to the big screen but end up near a smaller tv, from the start i felt disappointed our players lack passion and looked like they could not be bothered to even sing our national anthem once the game started Algeria always looked like they wanted this game more than us, we created chances but for some strange reason players who would normally smash the ball into the back of the net felt the need to try and make that extra pass it was such an awful game to watch. i have to admit i honestly thought Algeria were going to nick a goal. The England fans actually over powered the horrible Vuvuzela's when they started to boo the England players, Key players like Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard had no impact what so ever. Once the final whistle went i was kind of relieved that we held on for a point but still very disappointed that we did not get the win. finally when the players were leaving the pitch Wayne Rooney made a comment to the camera saying "nice to see your own fans booing" well my view on that is our team did not perform and these supporters have paid a lot of money to go to this World cup and they had every right to boo when our team was so s**t. roll on Wednesday and fingers crossed our boys can pull off a result in this must win game.

ITV HD England vs USA Game Balls Up

Oh dear oh dear not only did Robert Green have a nightmare last night but those people who watched in HD (including myself) missed the bloody goal see footage below

The Green Green howler of England

Day 2 of the 2010 World cup and England's first game against the American's, it was a game that to be honest i thought would be a draw and yes i predicted a 1-1 draw, it was all looking so promising when England Captain Steven Gerrard received the ball from Emile Heskey and knocked the ball past Tim Howard just after 4 minutes (i actually missed the goal because ITV HD decided to put an advert on just as we scored Unbelievable) , America who should not be underestimated are no mugs in fact most of their players play in top European leagues and they did create some good chances and probably deserved the draw but the way they got their goal was one of those crazy moments in football Fulham's Clint Dempsey hits a shot towards keeper Robert Green a shot that he should have easily picked up but no he has a mare and the ball ends up in the back of the net (see footage below) I think every England supporter was stunned by this but not a stunned as Dempsey he was walking away thinking Green picked that up easy next thing he is celebrating the luckiest goal he will ever score.



Oh well roll on Friday when we take on Algeria

Missing it already

Not posted for a while so just to update those of you that don't know we lost in the cup final to North Ferriby united 3-2 after after extra time no that is not a mistake the timer at the KC Stadium read 33 minutes and the game should have gone to penalties but unfortunately the Ref Mark White a former Bridlingtonian and one of the nicest men you could meet decided to play next goal winner and Ferriby nicked it ouch that really did hurt as i feel we were the better side on the night and against a team two leagues above us. other news and our presentation night was a huge success with special guest the Mayor of old Town Bruce he was a hit with the Karaoke and the players. our awards went to the following people,
Managers Player : Phil Harrison
Players Player : Carl Giblin
Supporters Player : Ash Allanson
Supporters Young Player : Alex Rhodes
The Forum Player : Carl Giblin
Club Man : Warren Spear
Supporter of the year : Jordan Sykes

a good night and always good to see Chairman Peter Smurthwaite doing his rendition of Neil Diamonds Sweet Caroline. Other hightlights of the night the lad who i thought was a bit quiet Wayne Wallace turned out to be quite a party animal good on him and as ever the loveable comedy act of Phil Harrison and Carl Giblin were both in top form. Thanks to Gavin Branton and Pete Smurthwaite for a very good entertaining night. The season has probably been over for about 3 weeks now luckily we have got the World cup to help us through to the new season but seriously i am missing the Brid Town games already and cant wait for the new season to kick off.

Highlights and presentation

Unfortunately i could not get to Armthorpe on Saturday we had a family get together so missed out on the presentation the one game every Town supporter would have wanted to see i was devastated but thankfully we have this filmed and kindly donated to "A view from the bus shelter" by Trevor Emmett.Well done Trevor and thanks for sharing it with us.



2nd half and presentation

CHAMPIONS

Well its official Bridlington Town football club are Champions of the Northern Counties East League and with four games still to play. We knew a win against Hall Road would be enough to win the league due to our superior goal difference and after a hard fought one nil win against a Hall Road team that fielded about 7 ex Bridlington players including former favourites Martin Thacker, Craig Suddaby and Paul Palmer these lads were well up for it and wanted to spoil the party for the Town faithful it was a scrappy game and we won the game from an Ash Allanson penalty. through the match news was going around the ground Armthorpe are losing 1-0 then 2-0 that was the last i heard of it but on the final whistle our your supporters who call themselves the Seaside Mafia ran on the pitch the players were also celebrating the results had gone our way and we knew Armthorpe could not catch us and we were crowned Champions only disappointing thing for me was no trophy to be presented to the team in front of our supporters. a great day to finally win it and on a number of occasions this season i really felt we had blown it. Well done to Gary Allanson and the boys you have really done us proud. (text from my mate the Boro fan)
Humberside airport has been closed after a massive cloud of dust drifted into UK airspace? The cleaner of the Brid Town trophy cabinet has now been arrested!

Lol who's laughing now hey not my mate (pic from free press website)

Great News for a Seasiders fan

Have to say this is an unexpected post on the blog but last night i get a text its my mate Phil " Armthorpe have lost 1 nil to Lincoln think if we win Saturday we are Champions" This was great news and mathematically we would not be Champions Armthorpe are on 79 points from 36 games and can achieve 85 if they win their last two games one of them being against us. But we (Brid Town) are currently on 82 points from 33 games if we win on Saturday against Hall Road Rangers who are full of ex Town players we would be on 85 points the maximum that Armthorpe can get but our goal difference is 24 goals better than Armthorpe this is like an extra point.

			P	W	D	L	F	A	PTS	+/-
	1	Brid Town	33	26	4	3	114	31	82	83
	2	Armthorpe	36	24	7	5	101	42	79	59
	3	Rainworth MW	34	22	5	7	86	45	71	41

As Armthorpe would need to beat Thackley something like 15-0 and then beat us 10-0 for it to swing back in there favour and we would have to lose all of our remaining games, crikey i am confusing myself now, anyway things really looking good now in fact i can hear the Fat Lady tuning up her voice i we had better dig that ice bucket out and that classic tune from Queen yes you know the one.

Town v Long Eaton

Not the best of games today although we got a very early goal from Craig Hogg (yes i missed it getting served for my Chips and Curry) we never really looked like winning this game and we suffered injuries to key players like inspirational midfielder Ash Allanson and Ash Dexter in the first half and later on Craig Hogg came off with an injury. it was a dull game and the ref had a nightmare the home fans were very frustrated with the below par performance our players were not ticking like the Brid Town we all know hopefully a one off. Long Eaton equalised in the second half with a superb free kick that they rightly deserved and they did have chances to win the game if not from the excellent defending from Carl Giblin and Tom Lee. A couple of other things i should mention rumour went around the ground that once again Footballing traveller Danny Buttle had decided to move his Caravan to Harrogate although no official statement yet, Danny has always been a popular player with the Town supporters but yet again i feel like he has let us down by moving so late in the season surely the lad could have seen the season out with us. and the last thing is well done to Pickering Town on beating Armthorpe 2-0 yes this is the correct result this is really good news for us we now need 4 wins from 6 games to be crowned Champions on the Koolsport premier division.

Final score
Town 1 (Hogg)
Long Eaton 1 (nice free kick)

Referee 6/10 i think he lost the plot today let some very bad tackles go and then gave away some very strange free kicks (crazy)

Capello coming to Queensgate ?

This morning my phone was pretty hot 3 text messages and two missed calls (phone is on silent through the night i like my sleep) All three texts were about the story in the back of our paper on the Brid Town page. have i seen the Free press Fabio Capello is coming to Queensgate straight away i was kind of suspicious and went down stairs to get my paper sure enough there it was Exclusive : Capello to watch Brid Town stars, and the Headline Absolutely Fabio-lous and for about 30 seconds i actually believed Fabio would be coming to visit Queensgate and then i clicked oh dear April the 1st yes its Fools day and like my mates i also fell for it. last week we fell for the Armthorpe getting beat rumour and this week Fabio coming to Queensgate oh dear whatever next.

here is the article kindly borrowed from the Free press website :

THERE will be a surprise VIP casting an eye on title-chasing Bridlington Town on Saturday.

With just two-and-a-half months until the World Cup begins, the Free Press can reveal England manager Fabio Capello is planning to visit to Queensgate.

The Italian will be running the rule over some of the Seasiders' squad during their match against Long Eaton United, after reading glowing reports about the runaway league leaders.

Town manager Gary Allanson said: "I know it is April 1 but there is still time for players to impress the England manager.

"Mr Capello is no fool, and if players are in form, I'm sure he will consider them, whether they play in the Premiership or the Northern Counties East League.

"I just hope it doesn't affect the lads, knowing the England manager is watching them from the Bus Shelter."

To celebrate Mr Capello's planned visit, the Queensgate food kiosk will be selling pizza and pasta instead of pie and chips, and the Seasiders are considering swapping their all red kit for a strip in green, white and red, the colours of the Italian flag.

FA spokeswoman Ola Prilfo would not confirm the England manager would definitely be at Queensgate but told the Free Press: "Mr Capello said he wanted to see a team where all of the players were English, not like in the Premier League.

"He didn't say where he was going but he has packed his bucket and spade."

Bridlington chairman Peter Smurthwaite was equally tight-lipped. "I can't say too much, but Mr Capello will have to pay his £6 at the turnstile like everyone else.

"And there's a nice botle of Italian red as one of the raffle prizes if he buys a ticket."

NCEL website mistake ???

Strange thing happened yesterday although Brid did not have a game most of the Town supporters would have been hoping Armthorpe might just drop points against Parkgate who had already beaten us 4-2 at Queensgate this season so anything was possible. Here we go my phone is ringing its my mate Phil 'have you heard the score Armthorpe have lost one nil to Parkgate' well for probably the first time this season i really believed we would go on to be crowned Champions of the NCEL Premier division. I was already going out for a beer with the lads but all happy and quite excited by the news of the Armthorpe defeat i thought i would really push the boat out and have a right good session, As i arrived at The Prior John that's Weatherspoon's to you young uns Phil is there with Pete (the Boro fan) he is grinning like a Cheshire Cat then they give me the news 'There was a mistake on the NCEL website regarding the Armthorpe result they actually won one nil' , i was devastated how could this happen it had kind of spoilt my night but i sank a few extra John Smiths to help me get over the news. We are now two points clear at the top of the table with two games in hand over Armthorpe, we have 7 games to play and Armthorpe only 5 and we still have to play them at their place fingers crossed the league will be all sorted by then. if we can get 5 wins from the last 7 games and we will be Champions.

Town v Winterton Rangers

Today i arrived at the ground at about 2:45pm just so i could get my food from the snack bar before kick off. Once i had paid my £6 entrance fee i was greeted by the usual friendly face of Phil Bonnett "Are you avin one" and he was accompanied by a six foot red heart shaking a bucket at me in fact almost shoving it down my throat "here here come on" mumbled the Heart, i later found out it was Wayne who sometimes helps with the car park and stewarding (not the brightest lad but he is doing a good job) and today he was doing a collection for the British heart foundation, both were lucky today as i had £2 spare in my pocket.
I got my programme and for some reason unknown it was all in black and white rather than the colour we had got used to and the reason we paid the extra 20p for it ? but it is a good read.
I was expecting a tricky game against Winterton Rangers and to be fair i felt they gave us a good game. A well worked move that went from left to the right and a delightful cross from Hogg to an unmarked Neil Towler headed home to make it one nil. Winterton were no mugs and created some good chances but our Defence was solid and dealt with everything thrown at them. Not long after our first goal we were awarded a free kick about 25/30 yards away from goal up stepped Ash Allanson and he smashed the ball through the wall and past the Winterton keeper to give us a two goal lead. further chances came from Wallace and Hogg but were denied by the keeper who made two very good saves.
In the second half it was pretty much the same as the first with Town creating some good chances and Winterton rarely troubling our defence although one scare came from Winterton but Mark Wilberforce made two excellent saves from close range and the towering figure of Carl Giblin made some key interceptions. The pitch had become very heavy due to the heavy rain and it was just cutting up making it hard for the players to run and pass the ball. A hard fought win and a step closer to the title finally it was good to see long term injured players back in the squad with the return of Danny Brunton and Danny Buttle.

Final score
Brid Town 2 Towler, Allanson
Winterton 0

att 157

referee 6/10 let some big hard challenges go and gave away cards for soft challenges

Good result

A decent result for us last night with Rainworth and Armthorpe drawing 2-2 this means we have all played 30 games now and we are 8 points clear at the top with 8 games to play. Being honest i am still very nervous of a slip up but i am also getting excited at the thought of our club being Champions of the League that we won in 2003 fingers crossed our boys will do the business and go on to lift the Trophy.

Tonight there is quite an important game between Rainworth MW and Armthorpe the best result for us would be a Rainworth win as this would leave us 9 points clear with 8 games to play. If Armthorpe win and on current form i expect them to win this should rule out any chance of Rainworth winning the league.

Highlights from Lincoln away

Thanks to Trevor Emmott

Saturday

This Saturday the Seasiders are playing Winterton Rangers, its only two seasons ago that they were Champions of our league all though i do believe most of that team including the Manager have left the club now but it could still prove to be a tricky game. Hopefully we can pick up the three points and move a step closer to winning the league.

A View from the Bus shelter

Welcome to my new blog a view from the bus shelter, this is not no ordinary bus shelter in fact it has not seen a bus for years, this is the Bridlington Town bus shelter and the shelter i watch my Football team play.
