Jane and I have recently been invited to attend and film a couple of non league games and I have got to say I have really enjoyed going.
Such a warm friendly welcome, a very enjoyable game of football and some interesting interviews with people who devote a lot of time to help these clubs keep going.
On Tuesday we were invited to film Squires Gate v AFC Fylde which finished 4-3 to Squires Gate. I met Albert Cooper, 84 years old, the photographer that took the iconic photo of Gascoigne at Italia '90 and the Charlton brothers hugging each other on the pitch on 1966 when it was "all over", and the lady that runs non league dogs a twitter site for pictures of non league dogs.
As we are still mostly locked out at Blackpool and you feel like having an enjoyable night at a football match I can highly recommend it.
If you have never been or thinking of taking a game in here is my video of Tuesday night hopefully it may persuade you to give it a go. I think you will be glad you did.

Have a few connections with Squires Gate, having played there myself for a season, and young spud has played with a lot of the lads there at junior level.
Played with John Maguire (and his brother) over 30 years ago. Both were very good players. Quite amazing he has spent his whole career at Gate. Fantastic commitment from a great fella.
For spell`s scrapbook:
Lancaster played them in the cup last year and beat them 6-1, but they gave a good account of themselves, and the score flattered Lancaster somewhat. Rowan Roche made his debut for City that day.
A great local non league club...

Oh gosh yes couldn't believe it once he started showing me the photos. Could have spent another 30 minutes listening to his stories but it would have been way too much.
Yes he is quite a big lad however you can see how highly he is thought of. Wish him well it sounds like he lives and breathes it!

Glad you enjoyed it. There will be more of these as I am enjoying the chance to work with people that appreciate it and welcome us to make something that helps them.
Such a refreshing change 🙂
