Yesterday, I travelled to Bedfordshire to watch a vital match at the bottom of the Southern League Division 1 Central between Kempston Rovers & Aylesbury United. Now, the home side were 5 points adrift of safety with 4 to play so it was MUST WIN for them really, whereas, the away team were 5 point clear of the drop, so, for them, it was MUST NOT LOSE. On arrival, my daughter and I were warmly met on arrival, and were treated brilliantly by all at Kempston Rovers, which I can’

For our latest Ground Hop we decided to make the short trip on Easter Monday to Rotherhithe in South London which is situated on a peninsula of the South bank of the River Thames to watch Fisher FC take on Holmesdale FC in their Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division match which is at Step 5 of the Non-League pyramid. After a short train ride to London Bridge and then 2 stops on the tube we walked 20 minutes from Canada Water (as Rotherhithe station was cl

Non-League Day was set up by James Doe in 2010 as a social media experiment and has grown from strength to strength ever since and this year marked the 10 year milestone of the charity, Prostrate Cancer UK working alongside the annual day to raise awareness and vital funds for the most common cancers to affect men. As always Non-League Day is scheduled to coincide with an international break to provide a platform for clubs to promote the importance of affordable volunteer-led

Non League Day 2024… as, soon as they said they would love to have my mate Thunder & myself back, I just HAD to return to Stratford Town FC, to vlog their home match v Long Eaton United. We had previously been there in mid January, where we were treated brilliantly, and had seen a thriller v Barwell FC. It was almost a Deja vu day, again, we were treated brilliantly, and, again, we saw a thriller… this time though, against different opponents. I was keen to arrive at the grou

As the third part of my rambling pilgrimage around Lincolnshire football clubs I visited Spalding United FC on the 23rd March 2024 to see them play Harborough Town FC, from neighbouring Leicestershire, a top of the table clash between Harborough in first place and Spalding in third. Spalding, a small town of around 31,000 inhabitants is situated in the south of Lincolnshire, the football team was formed in 1905 and has been playing in regional leagues ever since that date. Yo

Yesterdays filming of my weekly Non League vlog took me to Hayden Road, to watch AFC Rushden and Diamonds, for their home match v Lye Town F.C. Now, I could spend ages writing about how fantastically Diamonds, and everyone connected with them, treated me yesterday... Put it this way, I was chatting to so many people, at time’s, I completely forgot the purpose of the visit was to film and give R&D, and Lye Town some exposure! To say they were friendly and welcoming is an under

Yesterday’s vlogging took me to South Buckinghamshire, after an invite from Rich to his club, Flackwell Heath, who happened to be top of the Combined Counties Prem Division North league. I was meant to go there last Saturday, but it got called off that morning, which was no bad thing for me as I was feeling a bit under the weather. This week, they were playing 16th-placed Harefield United. Recent league form for both teams… Flackwell Heath W W W W W W Harefield Utd L W L W L

We had a very pleasant day out down in West Sussex to watch Chichester City on Saturday for their home game against Sevenoaks Football...

This weeks destination for the filming of the vlog was Stotfold FC, for their Step 4 Southern League Division 1 Central clash with Ware....

We recently got in touch with the man behind FootyWatch, Andy Stone aka Stoner who is a ground hopper and grassroots reviewer who is also an ambassador for The Cystic Fibrosis Comfort Fund charity after reading his fantastic thread on social media of the recent Wessex derby between Westbury United and Frome Town. Stoner has kindly shared his videos, pictures and match thread with us of the enthralling encounter in a derby game that had everything which you can see further dow

The power of the Non League Football Facebook group lead to an invite from Lutterworth Athletic co-owner Lee English to vlog their UCL...

Scrolling through social media a few weeks ago we came across a Facebook page called Dad & Son Footy Adventures and it immediately caught our eye! A father and son travel around the country visiting as many football grounds as they can to watch a match or take in a stadium tour, and it's not just limited to the big well-known grounds from the Premier League, they also travel around Scotland visiting Non-League and lower League football clubs and they are today (Thursday 15th

Many fans make long journeys up and down the country following their teams or on a ground hopping adventure to tick off another football stadium, well, one such football fan made a 1,000 mile + trek from the outreaches of the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia Via Stockholm to watch Dial Square FC who play in Chertsey, Surrey at Step 8 of Non- League on a Tuesday night! The fans name is Harald Kristiansen and he has been following Dial Square FC for about 3 years and is part of the

I've decided to do a pilgrimage to visit a selection of Lincolnshire clubs across the county and I am starting at the most northerly of them all, Scunthorpe United FC. I don't know what you think when you hear the name Scunthorpe, perhaps it is not the prettiest name, perhaps you think of a gritty steel town struggling with hard times and really no one in their right mind would call it 'The Riviera of the Humber' but the town has honesty and a long footballing tradition and a

After the early postponement of the match I was meant to attend (Winslow Utd v Buckingham) yesterday, I found a different one to VLOG...

For yesterday’s Non League vlog, I took in another new ground thanks to a kind invite from Sporting Khalsa’s Jake (who is head of security), for their home match against high flying Anstey Nomads. Joined again by my best mate Thunder, Jake met us on arrival, took us in the ground and showed us around. We was told most things were accessible to us, and introduced to various people, some to potentially interview. During this, I realised I had been so happy chatting that I hadn’

There's nothing quite like an away win and travelling back with 3 points in the bag! Here are all the pictures of the victorious away...

I'm a season ticket holder for tier 9 team Redhill FC who play in the Combined Counties League Premier Division South at Step 5 of the non-league pyramid and play their home games at Kiln Brow. Although I wasn't at the game this week away to the Jersey Bulls, I was their last week at the home game to bottom of the table but much improved Colliers Wood where Redhill won 1-0. This game will always be remembered as it was the first game I turned up dressed as a Lobster! 🦞 Yes,

So, for my weekly Non League vlog, the destination was Rugby Town FC last Saturday for their vital bottom of the table clash vs AFC Rushden and Diamonds. After contacting the club midweek, the very helpful Neil Melvin was great in answering every question I needed answering. Matchday! It was a bit of a nervous wait in the morning as to whether the match would go ahead what with the freezing weather conditions across the country so I had a few back up matches in reserve just i

On Saturday, we took the opportunity to go and visit our very good friends at Carlton Town FC who play in the Northern Premier League Division One East, the eighth tier of the English football pyramid. Last season when we visited the Nottingham-based club they were fighting a relegation battle but by winning their last game of the season they successfully stayed up! On our visit last Saturday It was very clear to see the tables had turned and they are now in the running for a
