York Street’s archetypal old style football
ground saw County fans housed in the rather decent covered terrace
where the local ` ultras’ usually strut their demented stuff last season, but
do not be too surprised if we are re-located back to the less salubrious accommodation at the opposite end this season.
Where we were last season...but..... |
prepare for this ! |
There is nothing at all
special about York Street except that it is a real football ground – a
million…zillion miles away from yer flat pack horror models that proliferate all
over the UK.
Sustenance!
Catering at York Street ,
at either end, is usually reasonably priced and of decent ilk, hedgie heard no
complaints whatsoever over the nosh as usual last season.
Modest eatery, but prices & quality fine ! |
The Pilgrims Bar meanwhile
was spacious and welcoming to both sets of supporters, and was packed to the
rafters by kick off time. Definitely worth a visit!
Programme.
The 56 pages of `The
Pilgrim’ were pretty readable. Priced at a nifty £3 ( `Well….that’s what you
charge for yours!’, hedgie was superfluosly reminded) and put together nicely, and not in a
rush as some publications of this type are.
Some of the photos were
out of focus, and the publication is not of a handy pocket size, but other than
those nit pickings, not a bad buy at all.
