Do you genuinely think that we haven’t explored every single option that might bring us back closer to Hamilton? We have been working tirelessly with NCC and Newcastle Football over several years but to no avail. Newcastle Football have particularly attempted to assist us wherever possible. We were told last year Smith Park upgrade was moving along with NCC and regarded a priority upgrade, however that has stalled for whatever reason. Regardless it would have been 3+ years till we could return there.

We were training on Hexham from January throughout pre-season and it was honestly in immaculate condition, we were extremely hopeful that would continue until the season. It was in far, far better condition than when we inherited it at the same time last year, would have been one of the better surfaces in the competition. However how can anyone account for the unprecedented amount of rain that the region has received over the last couple of months? No club is more frustrated about its current condition than us.
