Yes, the 340k bequest from the late Colin Rowell has allowed us to completely overhaul & improve pitch thankfully.
And I really appreciate Bishop letting us use there ground again because they could of turned around and said bollox to Darlo because some fans think we are the owners and not the tenants the way some carry on....Image

Thanks Bishops, would really like to think that Blackwell Meadows can offer the same facilities and hospitality in the future. Let's not forget thanks to Spenny for the use of their pitch for those crucial last rearranged matches, without whose help we could have missed out. Cheers.
