 After what seems like an eternity of postponed games I've tried and failed to attend since the turn of the year, I finally found one that was on, however my intended destination had been Wolverhampton Sporting Community, only for them to fold and withdraw from their league during the week. It wasn't to be and instead my fixture was Sutton Coldfield Town vs Bedworth United. I didn't realise until I arrived at Sutton Coldfield that it actually holds the Royal title before it's name. The town centre was very uninspiring though and reminded me a bit of Stevenage, a bit of an 80s concrete jungle. However I got fed and watered well enough and it was only a 20 minute train ride out of Birmingham, where I had arrived earlier in the day by coach. The opposition, Bedworth, were familiar to me, memories brought back of many years ago, probably around 2008 at a guess, when they visited Bootham Crescent to play my team York. I recall we beat them easily, also the 100 or so Bedworth...
