Ok i know it may seem a bit sad watching a game like this,but i had sod all else to do apart from take on the world at Mario Kart!!
And to be honest it wasn't a bad night out in deepest darkest Derbyshire either.That said the first impressions of the town were not to favourable.On our way to the ground we walked past a few tramps sat around and eating out of a bin,you would expect this in some city's in Yorkshire but i never thought the sleepy town of Matlock was a tramp haven, but you learn something new everyday.
Next came the small problem of trying to get in to the ground, It was £2 to get in and the programmes were free.My mate asked for two in and two programmes, not to hard to understand you would think....wrong! i wont go into the whole conversation but finally the gateman understood that my friend wanted to pay for two people and have two programmes and we were on our merry way to the clubhouse...or not.
The clubhouse and the stand next to it has been demolished! drat drat and double drat!
There is a cricket pavilion on the cricket pitch next door to the football ground so we ventured over there in the quest for beer, alas no beer was found and just to rub it in on walking back into the ground we were asked if we had payed to get in!!!! which drew the reply of "yes we have you cheeky bastard!" and waved the free programmes in his face!He seemed quite chatty after that. My mate chatted to him while i got the hot drinks in.
The ground is only three sided.The side where the stand and clubhouse was is just hard standing, to the right of the stand is a covered stand with a small terrace.Opposite to it is a seated stand with Matlock town pained on the back of it.Behind the other goal is the cricket pitch.
With all the problems that Worksop are going through right now they do well to keep the U19 side going at all.The game was quite one sided though.Worksop never gave up and battled on till the end and could have had a goal in the final final ten minutes or so.
Sorry the report is brief i am writing this crap 5 days after the game and don't remember to much about it!
