Paul Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Were off to follow St Blazey on saturday to Newton Abbot Spurs. I see thay have a seated stand and a covered standing area whick is good to hear. No lights as yet. Can anyone whos been there say this is one of the better grounds to visit? Should be a good following on saturday. :drink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 It was a smart ground when I went there but that was back in the 20th century! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for the pics. Looks a tidy ground. Roll on saturday. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafs Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Dont be fooled over the pitch Paul, I cant say ive seen it in person but im told its very heavy right now although a flat surface. A friend of mine played on it last night and providing he hasnt got Newton Abbott Spurs mixed up with Newton Abbott, he said it was awful before they had even got on it! We will see for ourselves on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil H Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I must correct you, he must have played at Newton Abbot which is a very poor draining pitch with floodlights and not at Newton Abbot Spurs which is an excellent pitch but can't yet stage night games as it does not have lights Phil H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafs Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thats good news Phil, thanks for confirming that. Was hoping my friend had got the two mixed up as our style of play suits the better surface. Which match will you catch on Sat then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey Laffs, im not gona worry about the pitch, ill be stood behind the goal, enjoying a sing song, bita banter and tasting the odd pint........as for once im not driving!!

Dave Deacon Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 He won't be the first to have the grounds mixed up! I did exactly the same during the summer!!! Does anyone know : is there much rivalry between the two Newton Abbot clubs? Let alone Buckland just a couple of miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I know some Falmouth fans heading for Buckland and ended up at Newton Spurs! Not mentioning any names but they know who they are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Not me "Pidge"! But back to the Spurs ground-it is a recreation complex shared with the cricket club in the centre of Town ,not far from the Railway Station. I visited there a couple of seasons back for an evening game and what I remember was that I was lucky to find a car space in the car park. that could be a problem.
