I don't blame the club at all. They are doing their best to get through the season on the worst sandpit of a pitch I have ever seen. It actually looks freshly ploughed pre match. But it;s not suitable for football. Thankfully then the contractors have agreed to rip it up and sort it in the close season.
The match was naturally a poor one full of high balls and weird bounces with neither side enjoying great possession or domination. Shields had the greater number of good clear chances but failed to take them. Bishops in contrast managed to take the win with very late goals at the end of each half.

Bishop Auckland
I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Heritage Park. The hospitality and people were top notch and the new ground is excellent. Excellent as long as you don't have to play football on it!!
