Ripon is a quiet city in North Yorkshire with a sleeping giant of a football team.
Ripon City play in the West Yorkshire league Premier Division.
Their home ground is Malorie Park drive.
They have wide space because they share with Ripon RUFC and Ripon cricket club. Despite the fact the Rugby club are higher than the football club it is the latter that gets a seater stand.
I went by car to Harrogate than got the bus to Ripon where it was a 15 minute walk to the ground.
Not many teams in the league have a seater stand, but because they are based in a city they probably thought they’d better have one.
It was a bitterly cold day as I arrived and the match had already kicked off. Because it was a step 11 game I was expecting to have to pay an admission fee. But I walked straight in and there was no one at the gate. I stood on the end opposite the stand, which is just grassy standing. The pitch is fully railed as it should be.
I felt a bit strange in the freezing cold while everyone else sat in the stand.
The stand is quite impressive with bench seating for about 125 and it has a tin roof over it as well.
Whitkirk thrashed Ripon 5-2 despite the fact Ripon did the double ove
