Where is everyone heading for their footy fix this weekend?

For us its a first visit to Marske United's Mount Pleasant ground, where they welcome West Allotment Celtic

Looking forward to it!

Happy footy day!

Where is everyone off for their footy fix this weekend?

Whitby Town v Workington for us

Where is everyone off to tomorrow? (Weather permitting!)

I'm pretty certain our FA Vase game at North Shields v West Didsbury & Chorlton will be postponed, so the backup plan is Sunderland West End v Chester-Le-Street United

A little bit of football history that made me smile

There appear to be a few more 'cads' around these days...

C - Meeting some great people!

Finally ran into @mikeward2911.bsky.social one of our long-time followers, which was great

Huddersfield was a great all-around trip but wherever we have gone, we have been made welcome by friendly folks and for me, that is the highlight

I'm running late with my review of Washington's Northern Area Playing Fields, so I thought we could reminisce about the year just gone...

What was:

A - Your favourite game of 2024?
B - Your favourite ground visited?
C - Your favourite moment of your 2024 travels?

Cheers, folks!

Happy footy day from the West Wylam Inn, Prudhoe

Where are you off for your footy fix this weekend?

For us, it's a game between two Northern League clubs who share the same ground

Newcastle University v Prudhoe Youth Club at Essity Park

Looking forward to our first visit!

West Allotment's fan ownership scheme!

£14 per month (other, cheaper options available) gives me a say in the running of a Northern League club and in so doing, help them stay afloat with my contribution

Let's see if we can make them grow, together!

Prooooograaamme!!

At Crook Town, £1 gets you 28 semi-glossy pages containing 8 full-page adverts

There is a double spread on visitors, Carlisle City, fixtures, league table, squad pics, previous match pics and a club history

Fantastic value and a great effort from the people who put it together 👏

Where is everyone today?

We are at Crook Town v Carlisle City in the FA Vase

Now arrived at the clubhouse, cheers and happy footy day!

FA Vase draw in full

Still a lot of ties to be settled but they all now know what they get next, should they win

Crook Town, Carlisle City, Redcar Athletic and North Shields still representing the Northern League

Did you at least get to see the game when it was played?
December 8, 2024 at 12:32 AM
Our game at Crook Town is off today, I think I will stay at home and keep warm rather than look around for an alternative

Stay safe everyone!

One of those sofas should have your name on it by now, Steve!

Enjoy, mate 👍

It's that time again!

Where is everyone off to for their footy fix this weekend?

We continue our FA Vase trail with a trip to Crook Town who host Carlisle City at their Sir Tom Cowie Millfields ground

Looking forward to returning to one of the friendliest clubs we've visited

The Boleyn Ground, also known as Upton Park, was the home of West Ham United from 1904 to 2016

What memories do you have of this iconic football stadium?

Prooooograaamme!!

Blyth Spartans produce a 32 glossy page mag, containing 10 full page adverts

It features words from the manager, match preview &
a match report, 3 pages on the visitors, fixtures/results & table

At just £2, this is an excellent effort from Spartans 👏

Happy footy day, folks

Every club should have a bit of Henry VIII in their crest 😂

Top, top player was Viv

His son is now a highly rated prospect at Stoke City, too

Where is everyone headed for their footy fix this weekend?

We are heading for a return visit to Blyth Spartans for their game with Hyde United

Croft Park was only the 5th ground we reviewed and it's overdue for an update, following the recent fan ownership takeover

Looking forward to this one!

Liverpool v Real Madrid in the Champions League...

What a strange time and place for Kylian Mbappe to recreate Raygun's Olympic performance 👀
November 28, 2024 at 1:49 AM
This one is certainly a bit dodgy
