I am anxious to get back up to my beloved north-east so an obvious choice for today is West Allotment Celtic at their ‘new’ ground. An added bonus is that they are hosting ex-League club Workington.
Forster played a key role in the celebrations as he became the first Robins skipper since Ronnie Tatum in 1969 to lift the Northern League championship trophy.
The Robins made the short trip to North Tyneside neighbours Whitley Bay on Good Friday looking to secure the point they needed to be crowned as the league’s first champions since Dunston UTS in 2019.
An agreement to groundshare with Northern Alliance club Forest Hall was agreed last year and Allotment finally get to host their first home game at their new permanent base when they face Thornaby on Tuesday night.
In a video filmed at Corinthian-Casuals’ ground in Tolworth, Stark delivers a passionate ‘Team Talk’ about issues like speeding and mobile phone use which can potentially have a life-threatening consequence.
The North Tyneside club saw their four-year absence from the league’s top tier officially end on Tuesday when the FA revealed their restructure of the Non-League system.
Nearly 20 years ago, the Northern League had a genius idea and Groundhops were born. The League persuaded teams to stagger kick-off times to allow sad buggers like me the chance to take in three or more matches in one day.
