I've been lucky recently in being offered lifts to Newcastle's Europa League games against Bordeaux and. Brugge. With tickets at £15 a throw - and friends in the north east - it's been too good to decline.

And, on both occasions, we've been able to take in a Northern League game on the Saturday. This time it was Bedlington Terriers v Penrith.

Bedlington is a small town about a dozen miles north of Newcastle. The football team is one of the strongest in the step 5 Northern League but, this year anyway, look destined for third place at best as Darlington and Spennymoor slug it out for the title. Bedlington have had moments of glory: several successive championships; Wembley in the Vase; a mullering of Colchester in the FA Cup.

More recently there's the intriguing tale of an American billionaire discovering ancestors from Bedlington and deciding to sponsor the club. Bizarrely he decided to give the Terriers a swish new electronic scoreboard. You'll see that below together with a more traditional team sheet which includes several interesting names.

For the record, Bedlington beat Penrith 3-1.

Woof, woof!

Another great new ground added to our grounds board, thanks so much for taking the time to put all these threads together recently.

You do know you have now got the job as the official TFF grounds reviewer don't you?

The only thing we have forgotten to tell you is once you have done all the grounds reachable from your new base, you will have to move somewhere else again.

So please do not get to comfortable and settled up there, the only good news is I'm sure we might be able to help with your moving expenses the next time.

Kind of you to say that, Dave. I hope the ground pictures are appreciated by people. But perhaps we do have to be careful with balance. I sometimes fear there may be those who are put off by the sudden "northerness" of this site at times!

I think the TFF is very lucky to have two great northern members who add so much to this forum. Do not ever worry about any balance on here as for the first half of this forums life, some might have thought it was a forum just for supporters from the capital.

Its so good to see the grounds review board getting good use, its there for everyone to use and it would be good to see others use it no matter where they live.

I have yet to meet anyone who does not look out for all your posts and enjoy reading each and everyone of them. Keep them coming as its members like you that has always made the TFF special and that bit different from some other football forums.

PS. The posts will be there and read in years to come, so while we are getting the pleasure of them now, others have that joy to come.
