Hello and welcome to a new week on Look North. In the headlines this | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
Monday evening: The clean—up continues. Cars washed away and 16 | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
homes under water in East Cleveland's flash floods. We cannot | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
keep letting this happen. Eventually, we will not get any | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
insurance. First day at school. The merged | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
private and state schools which reopened this morning, as an | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Academy. Remembering Flodden, 500 years after | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
a Scottish king died on an English battlefield. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
And delighted fans are bowled over as a former pit village wins the | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
coveted cup at Lord's. In other sport though it's been a | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
pretty dismal weekend. Carlisle Manager Greg Abbott is sacked after | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
the Blues' bad start continues. It seems incredible. The first day | :00:48. | :01:10. | |
of heavy rain after the long, hot summer and suddenly East Cleveland | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
was knee—deep in floodwater. Friday's flash floods in Saltburn | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
pushed cars towards the sea as people scrambled to escape. A bridge | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
was washed away in Skinningrove. And in Redcar — where a new flood | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
storage reservoir was completed just last year — 16 homes were flooded. | :01:27. | :01:41. | |
—— 60. Again! As the clean—up continues, we have two reports from | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
the flooding front line. First, here's Stuart Whincup: the | :01:44. | :01:59. | |
destruction led to some dramatic pictures. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Swept away. The driver had just got out, and watched helplessly as his | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
car floated down the road. This is Valley Gardens usually there's just | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
a small beck running here. I've never seen anything like it. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Cleveland Fire Service received a month's worth of calls — 230 — in | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
just one night. The driver of this van had to be rescued from its roof | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
when he got stuck. I came down to go under the bridge, trying to go | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
backwards, and it just gets Benning, and then within two minutes the | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
water rose another foot and a half, and then the band just started | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
floating further in, and then it just sank, because it covered the | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
whole cab. Now three days after the flash floods the huge clear up | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
operation continues. It is only when you watch here that | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
you walk a bit cheesy extent of the damage caused by 80 hours of | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
flooding on Friday night —— that you see the extent. These are massive | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
holes. They stretch 100 yards along these roles. —— roads. Some | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
businesses were lucky and avoided major damage. But they still don't | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
know how. I have not really seen anything like it before. It was just | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
like a big lake in the end. Seeing the water down here, you have to | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
weather about whether you've got any work left. Bridges were destroyed | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
and countless roads were flooded. For all the damage to properties and | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
disruption, the emergency services said it was just down to luck that | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
nobody was seriously injured. The worst of the damage was here, we're | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
60 homes were flooded and some have been flooded for the third time in | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the past four years and that despite Northumbrian water spending £300 | :04:01. | :04:14. | |
million on nearby flood defences. Our economics reporter has this | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
report. Being flooded out of one's home is | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
surely traumatic enough. But for Steve Joslin his misfortune has been | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
doubled. I am not insured. I only moved six weeks ago. My own fault | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
for not informing them, but when they informed them this morning, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
they said that if I had told them last week, they would not take me on | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
because they do not take on properties that have been involved | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
in flight. So I have got to sort this out myself. It's my fault. The | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
residents of this small Redcar street say the flood defence | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
measures installed by Northumbrian Water in 2009 are inadequate, hence | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
the damage to their properties on Friday night. Probably about eight | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
o'clock that night, in their —— there was about eight or 12 inches. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
The defence is in the form of a massive tank. It's buried in this | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
field alongside the affected houses. And it should see excess water drain | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
into it if the sewerage system can't cope. The residents here are not | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
convinced that Northumbrian Water has invested enough money in the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
flood defences, with pre—tax profits last year of 200 and million —— £212 | :05:25. | :05:36. | |
million, do they have point? Invested £300 million in that area | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
and it serves not just that area, but elsewhere as well. We were | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
confident that under normal conditions, that system would have | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
been able to store the water and then return it rain had subsided, | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
but in this instance it was too extreme and it over from the system. | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
Northumbrian Quarters as they will carry out an investigation, with a | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
hoped—for reporting date of six weeks' time. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Well, were the floods in East Cleveland the result of a | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
particularly unusual weather event? Paul Mooney is here. How bad was the | :06:09. | :06:18. | |
rainfall that evening? It was especially bad. Some places had over | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
two and have inches over the course of the day. That is an awful lot of | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
rain. You can see it on the radar on Friday, with the bright green | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
colours being the heaviest. You can see that becoming more persistent | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
around that area, so they really did have an exceptionally wet day. The | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Met Office have records going back over 100 years. In September we | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
would normally expect about 50 seat millimetres, and on Friday alone we | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
had over 44 millimetres. That makes it the wettest September on record. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
And is this evidence of a changing climate? These events do seem to be | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
becoming more frequent. We remember thunderous Thursday that affected | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Tyneside last summer, where we had one month of rain and a couple of | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
hours in places, but whether another be attributed to man—made climate | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
change is going to have to be reviewed over a much longer time | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
scale. And how would you advise those planning our flood defences? | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
One thing is for sure, these events, these horrible events affecting | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
homes and businesses in our region year in and year out, the way they | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
are planning and began developing and managing them at present does | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
not seem to be working. Thank you. The Newcastle United football fan | :07:36. | :07:48. | |
who made headlines after being accused of punching a police horse | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
has appeared in court, and denied a charge of violent disorder. Barry | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Rogerson, who's 45 and from Bedlington, will now appear at | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Newcastle Crown Court in two weeks' time. He was among 24 football fans | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
charged with violent disorder, after the Magpies lost to Sunderland in | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
the Tyne—Wear derby in April. The controversial new Kings Priory | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Academy on North Tyneside opened its doors today. The merger between the | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
private King's School in Tynemouth, and the former local authority—run | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Priory Primary, is the first of its kind in the country. Supporters say | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
it'll bring huge benefits to local schoolchildren. But North Tyneside | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Council says the new Academy is taking pupils away from other | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
schools in the area. Andrew Hartley reports. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Summer's over. For Lucy that means back to school. Lucy's one of 1200 | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
children starting life at the King's Priory in Tynemouth. There's a lot | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
of excited and proud parents. It is the first day of a new school. I am | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
really happy. It is making friends and meeting new people. But this | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
school is like no other — a unique merger of a council—run primary and | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
privately funded independent school. Labour—controlled North Tyneside | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Council opposed the merger, worried about the knock—on effect on other | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
schools. But last month it decided not to pursue a judicial review, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
ending a year of bitter political wrangling. It's the start of a | :09:09. | :09:20. | |
brand—new chapter here. For the pupils there is a mood of great | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
excitement, and for the parents, a sense of huge relief that all of the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
uncertainty is over. King's School had seen a big fall in pupil numbers | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
in recent years. Critics claim a failing private school has been | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
bailed out by a Conservative Government to the tune of £5 million | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
of taxpayers' money. It is quite the opposite. This represents a | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
fantastic deal for the taxpayer in reality, and of course, parents have | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
the added advantage of not having to pay fees, so what we're doing is | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
opening up the school the community. We here want to work with the local | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
schools and to help to provide a beacon of education in the local | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
area. But that's not how they see it at other schools nearby. This place | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
says it's already setting high standards. The impact of the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
amalgamation of the two schools down the road is that we will have extra | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
places here, but that is an opportunity for other parents in | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
North Tyneside to come and see what we're doing, and I think everyone | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
knows that we are doing very, very well. A £10,000 education now | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
available to all.A former private school competing for state pupils. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
The question is: just how will the local authority react? The ball's in | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
their court. 500 years ago today, King James IV | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
of Scotland and 10,000 of his fellow countrymen were hacked to death at | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Flodden in north Northumberland by a small English army fighting for | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Henry the Eighth. The flower of Scottish nobility died at Flodden on | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
September the 9th 1513. Today, the Battle of Flodden was commemorated | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
by people from both sides of the Border. Mark Denten is at Flodden | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
now. Yes, we're just a couple of miles away from the Scottish border. | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
We are near the border. It is perhaps a curious place for people | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
to be gathering this evening for a service. They are gathering because | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
500 years ago today in those fields find me, two nations met in | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
violence, carnage, and blood. And today, those two nations came | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
together again but this time an act of commemoration. A paper's lament | :11:35. | :11:49. | |
for the lives lost on a Northumberland field 500 years ago. | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
The Battle of town—mac was a massive and bloody loss of life. It is | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
thought some of the 15,000 who died here are buried under these fields. | :12:06. | :12:16. | |
It was a huge event. It was the last big battle between the Scottish and | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
English. It is a great milestone in British history. So at 4pm, the time | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
the battles that 500 years ago, a group walked the battlefield, | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
including this man from Seattle. We just found that both of us who have | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
ancestors who fought and died here, so, just could not avoid coming | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
year. We had to be here. In the two and a half hours it took to walk the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
battlefield and learn some history on the same spot at the same time | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
500 years ago, thousands died. Today, generations on, they were | :12:55. | :13:06. | |
remembered. Well, as you can see, there have introduced Letty from | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
English and Scottish people, remembering those who died —— | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
tributes left here. We can speak now to the director of this group. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
Inevitably, we see the sole tyre, we see Scottish flags and Scottish | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
people here today, but this is also very important for the north—east | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
because people could be heard, people who fought for those areas as | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
well. Absolutely. The people who set off from Stockton and Penrith and | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Carlisle all came across two new Castle. Newcastle was a big muster | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
point. They then moved and sweat behind the Scottish forces —— came | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
across Newcastle. And the striking thing is that there are no | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
re—enactments today. It has been a very sombre day. Absolutely. It is | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
for personal reflection. People have been taking time to consider what | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
happened. And we will end with a service that will take place in a | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
few minutes time. Thank you very much. Later today, there is a | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
service, and another service here tomorrow, bringing people together | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
in commemoration of the conflict. Thank you. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
You're watching Look North. Still to come: Dawn has the latest from | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
Carlisle United after the sacking of Greg Abbott. Plus, the cricket team | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
from a tiny village in Cumbria who've triumphed at Lord's by | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
winning the national Village Cup. The farming minister has criticised | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
Cumbria County Council for selling its publicly—owned farms. The | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
criticism comes as young farmers say European Union subsidies mean older | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
farmers are hanging on to land in retirement, making it difficult for | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
younger people to find a foothold in the industry. Chris Jackson has been | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
investigating for tonight's Inside Out. | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
Richard is the kind of person the farming industry needs. He is | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
bright, young, and ambitious. But he's turning his back on dairy | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
farming in Cumbria and heading to pastures new. So, what will you do | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
in New Zealand? Will be working on it and sheep farm on the South | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Island. I'm very excited. Richard believes he's been forced to move, | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
as an EU subsidy means that farmers are not paid for how much food they | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
produce, but how much land they own. And that does not encourage them to | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
retire, freeing up land for people like him. There's so much subsidy | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
going into agriculture that farmers can stay on the land without | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
actually having to work. I mean, I call a Single Farm Pension. It would | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
be farming into old age where you don't have to do any work. They're | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
not forced to rent out that land to younger people like myself and make | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
it profitable. The suspicions of everyone are confirmed in this | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
report. It states that the subsidy has had a stifling effect on the | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
market for tenancies. But these are not the only farming opportunities | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
that have been disappearing. We have discovered that councils who owned | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
farms have been selling them off to raise funds. Cumbria used to own 14, | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
and it is planning on selling six of them. | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
The farming minister says he is frustrated by the use subsidy but in | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
the meantime, councils should not be selling off their farms. Some | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
councils are showing how it can be done. Some are not. I think they are | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
wrong. A spokesman for the County Council says that owning farms was | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
not part of the council's core business and last year enough money | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
was raised from the sale to build a new primary school. Richard, the | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
frustrations for waiting —— of waiting for older farmers to move on | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
have simply become too much. He is now in New Zealand starting his new | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
life, and young farmers say that others will follow. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Also on Inside Out tonight: how waste plastic in the sea is killing | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
our sea birds and how Roker Park inspired a Cumbrian man to make a | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
career taking photos of football fans across the country. | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
Now, in a moment, Dawn joins me for "Team Talk". But first a story about | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
a sporting dream come true. Yesterday, Cleator Cricket Club from | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
west Cumbria triumphed in the National Village Cup Final in an | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
extraordinary match at Lord's. In a nerve—racking run chase, Cleator | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
overcame Rockhampton from Gloucestershire — their | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
nerve—tingling, one—wicket win coming after they looked to have | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
thrown the game away. The victory sparked a pitch invasion and wild | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
celebrations. Mark McAlindon was there. | :17:48. | :17:59. | |
At the end, there was pandemonium. Players joining friends and family | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
for one huge party. Why? Well, moments earlier, the captain had | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
lifted the trophy, fulfilment for a cricketing man. Absolutely | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
unbelievable. The emotions, so many friends and so many good people in | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
the team, and the way the game is gone, and with everything that's | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
happened, as I say, what dreams are made of, to play at Lord's, and now | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
we have come to Lord's, Duffield urging to play, and then had the | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
match and the dream result. Earlier, the team had arrived full of nerves. | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
The toss was one but it was Rockhampton piling up the runs. | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
Cleaton took it back, but faced a daunting chase. We were three down. | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
The opening ball from their side went very well. Our backs were | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
against the wall. Eventually, it was down to the last pair to get a | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
single and get the team over the line. 50 years I've played for | :19:07. | :19:19. | |
Cleaton, and how can you be today? How can you be there? The best day | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
of my life. Seriously. The best day of my life. It was a phenomenal day. | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
It was the best result we could have ever had! It's just been immense! | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
For people of the tiny former mining village, this is an incredible | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
achievement. It means everything. To play today in front of a crowd like | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
that, everyone who supported us was fantastic, it was just a brilliant | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
atmosphere, and to play on that hallowed field, it was just | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
wonderful. I can die a happy man. The party is likely to go on long | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
into the night. What a great story! Cricketing | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
success for Cumbria — and the county's main football team is | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
making the headlines in tonight's "Team Talk". | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
We start tonight with news of the second manager to leave one of our | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
professional football clubs already this season — the first to leave a | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
league club, with the other being Anthony Smith at Gateshead, who're | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
in the Conference. Yes, and it's Greg Abbott, who's | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
parted company with Carlisle. A club statement just after ten o'clock | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
this morning, said the board had met after Saturday's home defeat by Port | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Vale, and taken the decision after then meeting with Greg, who hadbeen | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
one of the longest—serving managers in English football. | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
He had — look at this — up until a few hours ago, only Arsene Wenger | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
and Exeter's Paul Tisdale had been in their post longer than Greg | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
Abbott. and Exeter's Paul Tisdale had been | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
in their post longer And his departure means Tony Mowbray now | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
moves up to ninth spot, and Alan Pardew sneaks into the top ten for | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
his three years at Newcastle. It was beginning to look inevitable | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
though, wasn't it, given Carlisle's dreadful start to the season? Just | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
two points from their first six games, starting with those thumpings | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
by Orient, Bradford and Coventry. And the board said they were worried | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
about the effect results were having on "the business" — reflected by | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
falling attendances — the gate dipped below 4,000 at the weekend. | :21:16. | :21:25. | |
It was the club and the effect that poor results for having on the club | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
and the attendances and the viability of the club that made us | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
move when we did move and may just talked much more seriously than we | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
did talk. It is a club issue more than anything else. The final straw | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
for the board was that 1—0 home defeat by Port Vale, the goal coming | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
in injury—time — agonisingly for the Blues, who'd missed a great chance | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
themselves, just before Tom Pope scored Vale's winner. That sealed | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Greg Abbott's fate, but as well as the low point, we must remember the | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
highs, Dawn? Yes, two trips to Wembley, for the Johnstone's Paint | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Trophy final — the second one, against Brentford, which they won, | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
of course — one of the great days in the club's history. But Greg himself | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
is history now, coach Graham Kavanagh is in temporary charge, but | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
who's in the frame to be the next Carlisle manager? On the one hand, | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
they could do with an experienced manager to steady the ship and on | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
the other hand, they can maybe do with somebody with a bit of it wild | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
fact, Alan Shearer priced at 40 21 with one bookmaker, there are some | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
other names out there as well. Peter Murphy is exceptionally popular as a | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
player, and would he be the job that the colony ticket to get the fans | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
that? —— would he be the one that the club needs to get the fans | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
back? Well it was a pretty dismal weekend | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
in League Two as well, although at least Hartlepool scored their first | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
league goal of the season. Yes, but it was in injury—time, and the game | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
was almost lost. But they might have had one a lot earlier if the | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
goal—line technology that's used in the Premier League had been | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
available here — Christian Burgess with the shot — did it cross the | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
line? Hard to tell, but it wasn't given, and Pools paid the price in | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
the second half. They did. Wycombe brought on | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
19—year—old Max Kretzschmar, who's never scored a League goal in his | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
life. Until now! Hence the celebrations. And having scored one, | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
he did it again! Just when Pools thought they'd turned the corner, | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
after that 5—0 win over Bradford in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. They | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
did finally score themselves — James Poole with the header — they're | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
second—botton of League Two, and on Saturday they're at home to | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Accrington, the only team below them. Not much joy, either, for York | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
City, beaten 2—0 at home by Wimbledon. Manager Nigel Worthington | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
called it a "less than average performance" and said "we were | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
sloppy all over the pitch — it's simply not good enough." Not a happy | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
man. By contrast, his predecessor at Bootham Crescent, Gary Mills, made a | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
winning start in his new role as boss of Gateshead, just a few days | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
after stepping into the job at the International stadium. Josh Walker | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
picked up both the goals in a 2—1 win over Hereford — and that lifts | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
them up to 17th in the Conference table — four places above the | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
relegation zone. And not the start the Falcons were | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
hoping for in their first game back in rugby union's Premiership Dawn! | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
No — a win for former Falcons boss Gary Gold and coach Mike Ford on | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
their return to Kingston Park but the weather absolutely appalling and | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
spoiled the game. Mike's son George Ford kicked Bath ahead after just | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
six minutes, but when the Falcons had a chance to draw level Phil | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
Godman pulled his kick wide. That might have made a crucial | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
difference, but even when Ford nailed another penalty Newcastle | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
were only 6—0 behind at the break. The talented young ten put Bath | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
further ahead with about twenty minutes to go. And even though | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Newcastle defended well and had some good breaks, Bath played the | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
conditions better and when Antony Perenise crashed over from a rolling | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
maul it was game over. The Falcons gave away a penalty try at the end | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
to add insult to injury and while they'll be disappointed not to get | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
anything from the game, they weren't completely outplayed. Plenty to work | :24:50. | :25:01. | |
on. We saw the rain. Is the more pain on the way? | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
completely outplayed. Plenty to work on. We saw the rain. Is the There | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
is. We have had more than our fair share of rain in places today. I | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
think if we look ahead at the coming week I think it is fair to say it is | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
unsettled and very changeable. It will be quite windy at times as | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
well, but they will be some gaps of the Somme Drive, decent weather. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
Today this rain came in the form of showers that were very localised —— | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
gaps that will be dry. The showers will become less | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
frequent as we had to the evening and through the course of the night, | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
they will gradually become more confined to the east coast. Many | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
places will become more drive. And the West, we will see clearer skies | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
overnight when temperatures could take a bit of a dip and easily go | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
into single figures. They could go as low as six or seven degrees. That | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
went always stays stronger and more fresh along the north—east coast as | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
we head to the night. Tomorrow, this will still be some rain. The rain in | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
the east will become a bit more widespread near the east coast, but | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
elsewhere, it looks like a mostly dry day, and in the West, that is | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
where we will see the best of the brightness, so some sunshine for | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
many. It looks like the bad weather will be confined to areas east of | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
the A19 throughout the day. Income react we could see 17 or 18 | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
degrees. That is 64 Fahrenheit. Always a few degrees cooler in the | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
east where you are more exposed to that northerly wind. That is really | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
strong and lasting then that close. It will make it feel bitterly cold. | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
That is the picture for tomorrow. You can see the Northern Railway, at | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
the next band of rain will coming from the West on Wednesday. A little | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
gap under that high pressure for a time, before the next system comes | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
in later in the week. By Friday, we are beginning to brighten up again | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
as the pressure builds, but very up and down through the week | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
weather—wise. If you are out and about, be prepared for centuries. As | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
I said, most of the Rainier that the schools, many places dry, the best | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
afternoon temperatures in the West. Temperatures struggling. On | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
Thursday, it'll start off dry, but eventually being will come the West. | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Things will brighten up again on Friday. Unsettled, to say the least. | :27:25. | :27:34. | |
The summer has gone. Carroll will be back here at half past six tomorrow. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Join her and the rest of us. Have a great night. | :27:39. | :27:43. |
