At the end of the tightly-packed street was a flash of corrugated iron and breezeblock walls covered in flaking paint. Not the kind of flaking paint which suggests neglect, but the kind which comes with years of activity and use, a ‘we’ll-get-round-to-it-at-some-point’ geniality. Non-league football is like that.
Bobbly pitches, burger vans, and cruising football... the best of non-league
Cast under the lens of a warm Spring sun, the stadium was a sandcastle of metal in the warren of terraced housing and, in that effortlessly charming way that old stadiums do, it merged seamlessly with the humdrum of everyday life, quietly flanked by a Chinese restaurant, a weathered off-licence, and a busy barbershop.
Everything about non-league football - anything from the fifth tier of the English game and below - exists in stark contrast to the glitz, glamour, and excess of the , that honking great national pageant of ours which is beamed around the globe for its razzmatazz, bombast, and pomp. Where the Premier League is superficial showbiz, non-league is tactile and gritty.
