Middlesbrough & Teesside Sports Academy v Boosbeck United (A-A) - 01/04/17 - ground #437 - Harcourt Road Playing Fields






everybody has a ground that they've wanted to do for a long time or seems to evade them time after time. this ground was mine! MTSA now occupy the old South Bank ground. After arriving by train from a very sunny Stockton, I was greeted by hailstones! they then turned into a light rain shower for about 30 minutes, by which time the 1st half was well under way. then the game suddenly brightened up, with a flash of lightening! then came big rolls of thunder & torrential rain. 10-15 mins later the heavy rain, thunder & lightening showed nowt in the way of stopping, so the ref took off the players & that was that. I made a quick beeline to the station, thankfully catching an early train, by the time I got off at thornaby, I was still soaked but the place was dry. then as I walked for the bus home (via sainsburys for the nights cider) a small shower of rain fell, but nowt as crazy as earlier! amazing how different weather can be just a few mile away ..
