I think this is a great picture. It just captures what a saturday afternoon is all about in the UK. Its also a bit like “spot the ball” competition.
I am such a sucker for lower division and non-league grounds. More, please.
Thanks for the compliments
This game had all the romance of the cup… a good crowd packed into a small ground and a non-league team taking on and beating a Scottish League club. This was the first time a “Junior” club had beaten a Scottish League team since the juniors were allowed to take part in the Scottish Cup.
