Almost a decade of Tuesdays, or bank holidays, and obligations have stopped me from attending Bugbrooke st. Michaels fc (A)

Today in the midst of boxing up a house to move I made it.

Ground # 121

Good clubhouse. Good *fries, a decent hazy pale on tap and crucially a scrappy 3 points on the road.

Didn’t spot that I’d managed to book
a restricted view in the East Stand at Brisbane Road. It ended up making my day and framing pictures quite well.

East London was the destination yesterday. Traditional pie, mash and liquor was a must.

Haven’t visited many new grounds so far this season.

Unbeknownst to him Fraser has picked next weekends destination.

Stay tuned to find out where we end up…

Two weeks in a row.

Same player
Same end
Same scenario.
Same minute!

Into the next round of the Vase we go.

3-1 up at half-time against Aylestone Park, a team that usually score 5 + against us.

3-3 at 90 minutes, here we go again.

4-3 in the 92nd minute!

Football, bloody hell!

Pub perfection almost achieved.

Revisited an old favourite for the 4th time yesterday for a Welsh cup 1st round tie.

The rain had other ideas and after 55
minutes and a 4-1 away advantage for Denbigh the game will have to start at 0-0 again next weekend.

Porthmadog likely breathing a sigh of relief.

One of Wales’ greatest voices in one of Wales’ greatest places.

One of just 120 or so people to witness Gruff Rhys in a wonderful venue this evening.

Sponsorship money well spent.

More samosas at football grounds, please.

Ground # 119 ✅
G.N.G Oadby

A perfect away day. 6 goals scored without reply, new pubs, a healthy dose of nostalgia from the two years I spent living in Leicester and a timely reminder that diversity should be championed, not marched against in the guise of a flag waving piss up.

I love a football club with their own brew.

It’s not just fanzines this month, it’s a magazine too.

I wrote about our trip to Euro 2025 for this month’s Football Weekends Magazine, available in W.H Smith or T.G Jones if that’s what the kids are calling it now….

Parks to Pitches has arrived.

It’s potentially a good few weeks of releases in terms of things I’ve been writing.

My mum’s purse is going to be lighter at the very least.

Let’s be fair to the United strike force they’ve got a Giant-Man in goal.

While the country loses its head I just had a wonderful unifying interaction in my local shop.

A man asked me about the badges I wear on my hat.

3 points on the road.

Love a good pre-game tap house

Trackie McCleod spotted in Rugby.

This over bigots hiding behind St George crosses please.

It’s that time of the season again….
August 23, 2025 at 7:52 AM
First announcing match of the season.
First 3 points
4 goals without answer.
We’re underway!
August 16, 2025 at 5:35 PM
4 games
11 conceded
2 scored
3 Red cards

But at least today the company was good. @nonleaguedogs.bsky.social

Still the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
