One rule for football no rules for anyone else!





Saturday  8 August 2020, Bacton United '89 0 Elmswell 8, PSF - Brickwall Meadow



With the new rules for football from the FA- ( Seems cricket safer than football!) that only clubs at Step 8 or below can let fans watch- we ended up toady at Bacton- great set up and an unexpected result. 


Nice set up here, very modern changing rooms and pavilion (not open today) 3 pitches ( 2 full size and one junior)  - good car park.


Main pitch has some fenced off wooden dug outs, will be replaced with perspex in next few weeks, and new wooden dug outs will be built on reserve pitch.



Pitch, in great condition and flat. A wooden fence on same side as dug outs with advert boards attached to part of it.


Good track and trace procedure in place, hand sanitiser and queuing system in place for toilets- obvious a well run club.




Bacton reformed in 1989 and have had some decent success in recent County cups, they are in Division One of the Suffolk and Ipswich League whilst Elmswell are in Division 2.


Bacton started off well and were dominating but against the run of play in the 7th minute, the visitors broke and scored. Next 10 minutes were even but that is about as good as it got for Bacton. Elmswell then looked a class apart and went in four up at half time.




They then added 4 more in the second half as Bacton players started to argue with themselves and the ref. Elmswell looked a good team whilst Bacton looked a shadow of the team that made a County Cup final last season.


A good set up- worth a visit- safety of players and supporters seems to be their number one priority.
