In an afternoon of 'John's' the club chairman John Heritage caught up with us in the second half and we talked all things Boynton Sports with a clear enthusiasm for advancing the club it will be good to watch their developments as next season with hopefully a promotion in their grasp they will move to the south east and take up residence at Westfield's a St Georges Park corporate facility to play on one of the new grass pitches. Having made contact with referee Carl Wallace about the team sheets and then to be greeted pitch side by John Gough from Boynton it was a warm welcome to start the afternoon off. The floodlights look impressive with three poles adorned by 8 lights on each, somewhat of a small scale eastern European football ground look about it, skywards anyway. THE BUSY CENTRE OF FIRTH PARK WITH ITS TRAM LINES STILL IN PLACEīack up t'ill to the sports centre and around to the back is the slightly worn 3g pitch which has clearly had a lot of local use its as ever caged in but with a walk way down one side and with a small grass bank on the far side so its far from a hemmed in feel. It was rather like a scene from Last of the Summer Wine as three sprightly young gentleman sat outside the shop on the wooden benches surrounded by a selection of ever hungry pigeons and discussed the game ahead. Time could be wasted no more it was off to The Codfather another in the great names of chippy's for a sample of Yorkshire fish and chips and they were certainly bubbling under in the top echelons of the chippy table. There is a break to buildings on one part of the roundabout and the excellent Firth Park recreational area wins the day.
The bustling shopping area has a wide selection of independent shops and centres around a traffic roundabout that has a superb touch in a gated area in the centre of it with former tram lines still embedded in the road structure.
So arrival in Firth Park saw us circle around the busy shopping area a few times before we found a car parking spot for a meander around, far from being aimless of course because an eating establishment had been previously researched. Todays travel plans were sorted out and then amended when great news came through that Barry Dyke would be joining Mick and myself with the added bonus of a lift to and from todays encounter, thanks Barry a pleasure as always. TODAYS EATERY AND A RETURN TO THE GOOD OLD FISH AND CHIPS
