On Saturday I went to see Gainsborough Trinity play the re-formed Chester in the FA Cup 2nd qualifying round. The game ended 1-1. Gainsborough scored first; Chester equalised before half-time. Crowd: 750.
Gainsborough is on the railway line between Sheffield and Lincoln. It’s on the Lincolnshire bank of the River Trent. With its' manufacturing history, river frontage and low-lying surrounds I suppose it’s a little like Bridgwater. I found it an intriguing town to explore.
Gainsborough Trinity are a long-established club having been formed in 1873. The club first used Northolme in 1884 and it was a venue for Football League matches between 1896 and 1912. Chelsea suffered a 3-1 tonking in the league at Northolme in1911 in front of a crowd of 5,600.
I think it’s a proper football ground:
