Hi Bluesky people 👋
I'll mainly be sharing my experiences of non league football from the perspective of a step 5 media man.
Hope that sounds good!

Had never heard of Tow Law Town before moving to the Northern League, but they've become one of my favourite clubs.
Fantastic little ground and great people (if only it was a tad warmer...).

It's rare I actually catch goals, but got this one spot on from last night's win over Penrith.

If anyone's in the Cumbria area today, we (Kendal Town) are looking to keep up our play-off push at home to Birtley Town this afternoon.
Come and enjoy some top notch non league football! We're a friendly bunch, honest.

Ah, this time last year. Looked like a cold one at home to West Didsbury & Chorlton. Don't remember the score, but 99.9% certain we lost; they always did a number on us.

Tomorrow we travel to Carlisle City for a rare derby game!
Our last visit was in the pre-season of 2023, when I managed to catch Martin Grundy's header in a 1-0 win.
🤞Fingers crossed it beats the weather.

Ah, feels like pitch inspection season gets earlier every year 🙄
Hope clubs aren't affected too badly this winter; can't stress enough how important it is to get games on (cashflow, fixture backlogs, travelling, etc).

It was great to see more groundhoppers at Parkside Road on Saturday! Seeing their photos, blogs and videos reminds us what makes us (and non league) so special and genuinely reinvigorates our love for the old place 🏠
Thanks guys 🫡

This Northern League is brutal. One minute you're in the play off spots with games in hand, the next you're 6️⃣ points behind.
Still a long way to go!
