Bower Fold is a decent stadium for this level, and
could do a job in the F.L if they ever got that far. Plenty of cover and
adequate seating available ,although it must be said that some of the
stewarding shows an excess of zeal at times.
Welcome to Bower Fold....... |
Sustenance!
Gone last season was the Bower Fold show stopper of old.....their
`Bacon Roll’- that of the swaying mound of bacon perched atop a bland
roll......
Show Stopper ! |
........
no ...last season's fare had an altogether more ominous hue
about it…..as I eyed the fulsome menu and made my choice….” Pie and gravy”.
The purveyor of pies looked at me
with a look of incredulity on his face, ”gravy?”…..”not peas?”. Now…you all
know me as a brave lad….if an impatient one, so I quickly put the man right and
took said portion onto the nearby terrace. I immediately realised that for once
my bravery was misplaced as I stared into the solid mass of brown stuff
surrounding my pie. The gravy just did not move at all….the stuff of
nightmares, not a great start to the afternoon!
Clock that gravy folks ! |
So...be warned and maybe have a
bite afore ye go !
The choice ! |
Programme.
At £2.00 for 40 pages I thought
`Bower Bulletin’ was reasonable value, but last season's pre match comments from Martyn
Torr on page 3 that there would be a good sporting contest ” never stood
a chance as is the norm at this
fiesty fixture.
