Wrexham (Tuesday, October 8)

There is a real sense of history about the Racecourse Ground and as night falls in North Wales, this famous stadium comes to life under the floodlights.

Leamington (October 1, 2103)

The road to Wembley starts at Leamington in the FA Cup second round qualifying, or at least it does for me!

Aldershot Town (Tuesday, September 17)

25 September 2013 0 comments

Having spent my Sunday and Monday as usual studying The Non-League Paper, the front page headline of ‘AWOL Edgar’ sticks in my mind as I enter the ground – especially with the rain coming down by the bucket load.

Lowestoft Town (Tuesday, September 10)

I’ve often thought about making the trip into Suffolk to visit Crown Meadow, the home of Lowestoft Town.

Skelmersdale United (Tuesday, September 3)

For a club whose home ground sits on a local industrial estate, it is perhaps fitting that Skelmersdale United boast their own production line. This ground is one I just had to tick off my list.

Ellistown & Ibstock United (Wednesday, July 16)

After a meeting in Peterborough, I decide that Leicester isn’t too far a diversion for a match, completely forgetting that
I will be travelling at rush hour along the crumbling back roads of rural England.

Cleethorpes Town (Tuesday, July 9)

It’s a very hot day but the need for a football fix is strong. Cleethorpes Town is a team I need to visit in the Northern Counties East League and their friendly against Grimsby Town looks vaguely interesting.

My last match of the season and a chance to finally tick off Belper United of the Central Midlands League (South).

Bacup Borough (Saturday, May 4)

When I telephone the secretary of Bacup Borough to check today’s game is on, I receive a rather desperate reply: “IT HAS TO BE!”

I receive an e-mail from Dunstable Town asking if I would like to attend the club’s final match of the season at Creasey Park.

I am taking a birdwatching break on Anglesey with my mates from Naturebites and notice that Llangefni Town are at home on the evening of my arrival: perfect!
