For my latest Non-League vlog, yesterday, I went to a step 6 clash in the Spartan South Midlands Division 1 between 3rd place Moulton and leaders Northampton ON CHENECKS (Old Northamptonians).
This is a game I have been looking forward to for a while since I received an invite to do a vlog at Moulton.
At start of play it was 3rd v 1st, and the home side were out to make it 3 wins in 2 months against Chenecks.
Would the away team get sweet revenge???
I’m gonna say it quickly this week… I won’t spoil what happened in the match because I’d appreciate it if you could try to give the vlog a bit of a view which you can find below.
A few weeks ago, I had an invite from Steve Alibone to attend Moulton FC, so, I had a quick look at their upcoming fixtures and found this tasty looking one!
Steve was great, keeping in touch and assured me that he would show me around a bit on matchday, which is always reassuring when wanting different bits to film.
Matchday arrives, I turn up, it’s cold but sunny, and park up, for a step 6 club there's quite a big car park outside the ground.
Often, I do get a little nervous but I talk loads to cover it up!
Steve, as promised, showed me around the ground and the clubhouse which was really nice.
I bumped into both managers and did my groundwork by arranging a pre and post match interview, which then gave me plenty of time to relax before kick off.
I wanted to film the match from the main stand which would give me a view from slightly higher up but the sun shining straight at it put paid to that as the visual would be rubbish.
The game came and went, some of it very exciting, and some less so, but I must admit, I enjoyed listening to the side line comments from fans and management.
One particular lady, a lovely woman called Judy (she is featured on the vid having a pop at the ref), told me that her husband used to play at Middlesbrough with the one and only Brian Clough, but a broken leg put paid to her hubby’s pro career.
So, after wrapping up the filming and barely being able to feel my fingers, I headed off home with the memories of a lovely afternoon at an even better club whirring in my head.
I also must mention, that everyone who I spoke to at ON Chenecks were great too with me, and I hope to record there at the not to distant future.
Just a quick warning, if you are easily offended by... erm… industrial language, best if you don’t watch it.
I even got caught up in it, but edited my sweary Mary moment out!
Here's the VLOG, Enjoy!
