What a day at Birtley yesterday. Started the day with 7 girls game across our 3 junior pitches. The tireless Mel Nugent has built up our girls/Ladies section 3 fold since coming to take over our senior ladies team . Her enthusiasm is unbelievable and infectious to anyone that watches her methods of putting smiles on so many players faces. The ground was packed from 9am until 7-30pm in what was a very busy day for our tremendous team of volunteer's.Who never stopped from arriving at the ground. The day was topped off with a dominant 5-1 win v Whitley Bay The match was supported by BBC radio as their pick of the days games. Paul Dixon spending the day with us was an added bonus. An excellent day all round with the official gate announced as 406. Myself and former chairman Richie Barret were on gate duty and I can say we certainly would have missed a good few clicks between 2-30 and 3-15 as the majority came in between that 45 minutes. So I thank everyone who lent a hand and every one that attended including the Bay fans who had the best away following we have seen this season. Last but not least thanks to Paul Dixon who is a top supporter of Grassroots football in the North East. Certainly welcome anytime.
