I wasn’t even commissioned to work for the paper that day – my good friend and fellow photographer Andy Nunn was assigned the task. I’d tagged along as the tie was intriguing and ended up being one of my most favourite games I had snapped.
The Spring of 2013 had barely been noticeable and several weeks of postponements meant this tie was already behind schedule. Despite woeful weather, Wells had asked as many volunteers to help get the pitch playable in the morning. Arguably, it wasn’t. But with bad weather forecast for the foreseeable future and Shildon already travelled down from Sunderland, the game went ahead.
