I’m glad I made the effort to
visit this ground as there is now only 5 games left before the bulldozers step
in to demolish a classic non league ground.
From the brick built turnstiles, the named gate entrance, the old
separate dressing room building, banks of concrete terracing, a metal covered standing
area and finally the grand Main stand, with raised wooden seating with the club
rooms, clubhouse and offices underneath.
This is a must visit venue if you can.
I made the trip by train and only cost £26 with my Gold Card discount so actually cheaper then if I drove and only a 15 minute walk from the station to the ground. A quick detour to The Swan Inn on the way to the ground and I wasn't disappointed by what I'd read on the forum. What a classic non league ground, soon to be lost to a housing development. The Supporters Club don't have faith in the current board and are actively seeking a new home in Perdiswell if the new ground at Nunnery Way doesn't get completed by the time they leave Kidderminster Harriers ground in up to 3 years time.
Guiseley are one of the divisons best sides and Worcester were trying to renew their climb up the table, after a recent bad run has left them chasing a play off place. What must have been frustrating is the fact that they had plenty of chances to wrap up the game themselves. Rob Elvins, Mike Symons and "Lethal Weapon" Danny Glover all came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock and even Michael Taylor jit the post just after coming on as a late substitute. Guiseley had long periods on controlled possession in the first half, then seemed to switch to defending and hitting on the counter attack when they could. On the 88th minute Guiseley scored through Walshaw and the damage to Worcester City making the playoffs was visible on the home players reaction.
