American Football in Barnes Park

Went past Barnes Park today and there was a full game of American Football going on. Lads in the full gear, shoulder pads, helmets, the lot.

First time I’ve seen that in Sunderland. Looked a bit surreal like
 


They used to be American football training down near the Riverside ground in chester le Street a few years back, no idea if there still is.

Barnes park has been there for years marra, shame you aint seen it before.
Especially worth going to in the Summer months to see all sorts of erm antics going on;)
 
Its not a new phenomenon . It was around in the 80s. I played at a couple of training sessions with the Washington Presidents junior team back then.
