"Great day to visit"

Visit Saturday 14/05/2016. Barnton v Bacup Borough. First Division play off final. 2-0 to Barnton after extra time. Crowd 554. Weather warm & sunny. Great match, both teams getting stuck in but hard and fair. End to end could have gone either way but Barnton just edged it in extra time. Went 1-0 up then Barnton keeper made a great save to keep score at 1-0 and Barnton sealed it late on with a second goal. Ground basic but adequate. Pie Chips & Gravy looked good but didn't partake. Very enjoyable overall. Also went to the Anderton Boat Lift which is close by and highly recommended.

Location

Easy by car, not near a station. Easy to find with Sat-Nav. Ground car park full for this big crowd but plenty of street parking nearby.

View

Didn't try the seats but view from anywhere around the pitch side was great.

Food & Drink

Didn't try it but the pie, chips and gravy looked good. Plenty of beer on sale and able to drink pitch side which beats any premier league ground!

Police & Stewards

No police required, very little need for stewarding and all seemed well organised.

Atmosphere

Great atmosphere for this playoff final, crowd spread all around the pitch.
