One extreme to another, from an 'old school' ground to a new G4 out of town stadium, but both games had things in common- excitement, good goals and good playing surfaces.
York City, was a chance to visit Bootham Crescent before it comes under the demolition ball in the coming months ( or years). I can see why people like it, it is a flashback to 1970's league grounds, terracing a variety of stands but also some thing that we do want to forget - stinking urinals and expensive food!
What I did like was how the ground has a real inner city feel, hemmed in by neat streets of Victorian terraced houses. What was not a flashback to the 70;s was the immaculate playing surface and it helped both teams play good football with the visitors eventually coming out on top.
Harborough was an out of town ground, no houses at all to be seen, next to the rugby club and large car park. Inside, plenty of space, 3 very small boring stands but a good modern clubhouse with great food on offer then the final bit of the jigsaw, the latest G4 surface.
We also witnessed another good game, with cracking goals and a last minute equaliser by the visitors.
So two very different grounds however both had more positives than negatives.
