Welcome to Seadog in Exile, a groundhopping blog highlighting a Scarborough Athletic fan's adventures around the North West of England as I study towards a PhD over the next three years. Being located in Lancashire, I have rich pickings for new football grounds, and I'm going to get to as many as possible over the next 36 months. On top of this, I should remember to write my thesis...

Much better than the 3-2 defeat at Mill Lane earlier in the season, and a decent crowd to boot.

Heanor Town 0-3 Scarborough Athletic
NCEL Premier Division

A new ground for me, and a thoroughly enjoyable day out.

A goalless first half was entertaining enough, but three Boro goals in the second period meant that the match to the NCEL title continued.

A ground I'd definitely revisit in the future if I got chance. Hopefully not next season with Boro!
