Mate in Dehli had £3,000 on Wearmouth v Littletown being a no result.

 

[Skandhaless]

Aye , I can't see anyway that would be open to bribery and corruption

Local bookie one year had a book on the winners of the senior league. Cant remember the name of the bookie, think it was a independent based in Sunderland. Going back 15-20 at a guess at Horden won the league and a couple of the old fellas made a few quid

The outfield was a disgrace from the day before by all accounts.

Not according to any of the pictures that were taken at the ground that morning

I've seen the pitch but not the outfield. We can only go by what the groundsman say and does (or in this case doesn't). Having a few little sly jibes on forums reeks of pettiness.

Maybe it does but calling a match off on a fine summers day, when the ground is playable reeks of utter bull shit.

No idea. We didn't call game off.

 

[Aleem Dar]

Neither did we. Groundsman did.

 

[Greavsie]

In that case, get a new groundsman
