Having
been dropped off in the outside car park along the track of Fairfield Road, I
entered the clubhouse which is situated right outside the ground. Biggleswade
were trying to get into Non League Day by allowing League fans who wore their
club shirt in for £3 (I didn’t see anyone).
Also all draught was £2 in the clubhouse. Unfortunately the Guinness is no longer sold
due to lack of custom, and the bitter was off, I assume for the same
reason. All food, drink and toilet
facilities are outside the ground so once inside the turnstile, there is a
covered standing area situated along the right touchline by the half way line. I decided to sit in the Main seated stand
opposite. The rest of the ground is
railed and hard standing.
In the
first half, James Peters put the home side ahead after 15 minutes as an
excellent cross by Freeman on the right allowed Peters an easy header in front
of the keeper. Biggleswade should have
scored at least 2 more in the first half, although their solid keeper went off
with a broken nose, and his replacement did not look as assured.
Biggleswade
came out in the second half a completely different side. They lost conviction in their passing which
rarely found a team member and the defence were time and again stretched to the
limit. Inevitably, Harefield finally
converted an equaliser with 12 minutes left through Kanani, who had earlier
escaped a red card for a dangerous looking foul, which led to the captain being
taken off injured.
