2023 Update

I have taken an enforced break from my blog over the past few weeks as I move abodes for the third time in 18 months. My new flat is currently without functioning Wi-Fi and looks to be remaining so for the rest of the month.

Once these issues have been fixed the match blogs will be back with a vengeance as I have still been managed to attend games, providing a brief respite from the stress of moving to a new flat in a new city and adjusting to a new job. By the time my Wi-Fi is back up and I can get back to this passion project I will have at least 6 blogs stocked up. If all my plans for the FA Cup 4th round weekend work out it will be 8, but 6 are those that are guaranteed as I write this.

That half dozen include Brentford’s first home game of 2023, both of Manchester City Men’s FA Cup games, Man City Women’s FA Cup 4th round match and a couple of jaunts into the football wilderness of Cumbria for League 2 matches. The extra games in the works would see me travel to both Yorkshire and Derbyshire if I can pull them off.

However many matches I actually get too, I promise you this. The blog will return in February 2023 with at least 6 blogs from January matches. See you then

I'm a Londoner by birth, but I now live up in the North West. So I'm taking this opportunity to explore the football of the North and blog about my experiences as a neutral. For most of the matches I am a neutral, but when I have an allegiance to one of the teams I flag that up on my post. I have never been one to do reccies for the games I go to. I just pick a game that looks cool look up the route on google maps and head to the ground. Sometimes I buy the match ticket in advance, but not always. The Blog charts my experience as a mainly first-time visitor to the teams and grounds of the North West football landscape. All opinions in the blog are my own and you are welcome to disagree with them.
