Birtley vs Boro - CHANGE OF VENUE
Boro's first ever FA Vase fixture against Birtley Town this Saturday September 20 will now be played at a neutral venue after the pitch at the Birtley Sports Complex ground was submerged under contaminated water.
Due to heavy rain in the area, a stream next to the ground which contains waste water from nearby industrial units has leaked onto the pitch and Environmental Health have declared the area unfit for sporting purposes.
