That doesn't distil the crunching tackles, the occasional mass brawl and match officials being criticised (just like thetop level!) I shall endeavour to give the reader a flavour of the sights, the sounds, the smells (of food!) and the general atmosphere of football at the lower, but in my opinion, better levels. The blog will be a warts and all travelogue of all things non league football. Please follow and enjoy the ride!
