Glanford Gladness

For a ground that is very much on the other side of the country to me this was an easy trip. Motorway for all but four hundred yards.
 
The ground is there almost on the motorway in a retail park. Down
side was it took twenty minutes to leave the ground car park (£3.00) even with a crowd of little over three thousand.
Getting there nice an early I easily got a ticket and went straight in to find some food and drink. Took some finding; there are no signs to tell you where the toilets or refreshment stands are and their position means they are well hidden away. The tea was £1.70 and a reasonable hot-dog was three pounds. Staff were friendly and helpful. The ground had a lovely atmosphere and it was an entertaining afternoon.
Of course being on the outskirts I didn't get to see the town itself. Football wise it was a close match of one goal and two disallowed goals plus the usual claims for penalties that were not given. The away fans were a keen bunch and played their part; their team didn't deserve to lose. I can heartily recommend a visit to this little ground in North Lincolnshire.
