There’s a sculpture on the green in West Auckland celebrating the feat.
Forgot to mention…parked up next to the monument last year on the way back from Alston to give Ratboy a run….he proceeded to piss up it banghead

Thought it was the 1st team squad and the 4 remaining trialists? Sarll told Radio Tees it'll be 2 different 11s changing over at half time. Pretty standard for friendlies early on in pre-season.

The only pre-season games that will tell us anything are Scunthorpe and Scarborough becausee they were top end NLN and more our level.The rest are pretty poor for preseason evan Notts F

Is that the field at the end of the cul de sac? Effectively behind one goal?
