A view of the same building looking from pitch side.
Visitors Wren had a fantastic season last time out, lifting the league title and Lancashire FA Amateur Shield, but Poulton also finished strongly to end the campaign in third place. With both starting the new season with excellent wins last Saturday a good game looked in prospect.
Action from an early Poulton attack.
The view at the other end of the ground will keep any train spotters happy, with all trains heading to and from Blackpool North station having to pass here.
Wren make a commanding start to the game, and they take the lead with a 15th minute goal that sums up their early play, Tom Watson heading home a Nick Corless cross at the end of a superb move of seven or eight passes.
When it comes to keeping those in the dug outs on their best behaviour, it probably helps to have the assistant secretary of the County FA running the line!
Poulton are restricted to the odd half chance, most notably when Lee Catlow is denied at the second attempt by Wren keeper Ryan Yeomans, but on the balance of play the visitors will feel they could have led by more than one goal at the interval.
No surprise that the game attracted a good crowd. The changing rooms seen here serve the outside pitches at the venue, used mainly for Sunday football. 
Wren continue to have the upper hand after the interval, and a goal just after the hour mark from Danny Rowe marks the end of the scoring, and wraps up a very impressive performance by the reigning champions.
