I’ve finally completed the Northern Alliance grounds for this season, following a visit to Bedlington United yesterday. This post also includes a match at Bede Academy before Christmas,which Blyth Rangers regularly use, plus a bonus ground, as Stobswood Welfare used Hirst Welfare 3G, to get their fixture fulfilled last week.
