I've set myself a challenge this season to go to a game in every step of the ladder from the prem to step 6.

Today I went to Tiverton Town v Plymouth Parkway (step 3).

Plymouth were 2 0 up and cruising. 2nd half they had 2 men sent off and conceded in the 90+1 and 90+6th minute!

1 player I liked the look of is former Bristol City youth player Cameron Salmon. He's someone to keep an eye on, maybe not quite league 2 level but he definitely could play higher up the leagues.
Oh and I had a pint whilst watching the game and noone got into a fight because of it.

Good on you Lukeo. I've always wanted to go to a football world cup game and see the beautiful game. Greatest show on earth.

On going to six tiers of football I've been to watch Real Madrid before at their ground plus seen football in this country ranging from premiership to conference north. Each game had its allures and in truth I enjoyed watching all levels of the football hierarchy. Variety is life as they say.


One life,one love .

A world Cup is also one of my dreams. Not even particularly an England game (although that would be great) just to be in the area of a fanzine with so many different nationalities and cultures, chatting and having a sing song and great time.

It's worth doing, I was in Cologne during the Germany World Cup and watched England v Sweden in the fan zone in the city centre. It was almost as good as being at the game.

There is something very special about watching football abroad, even if you have nothing to do with the teams involved.

Whilst I haven’t been to a World Cup, I’ve done Euro 2008 and Euro 2016, and had a great time in both the stadiums and the fanzones

It’s definitely worth travelling to a tournament for the fanzones and to get amongst the atmosphere. I watched England vs Russia at Euro 2016 under the Eiffel Tower before going to the Stade de France for Sweden vs Ireland a couple of days later. There must have been 30,000 ish people in the fanzone and France weren’t playing that day!

Over many years I’ve managed to get down to level 14.

On Saturday I went to a fabulous stadium , home of Middleton F C. In Leeds. Yorkshire Amateur League.

Any guesses where. It’s got one stand which holds about 3,500 spectators…..

Over the weekend I did AC Milan & Juventus.

Admittedly, a huge football ground nerd and they made up my 139th & 140th ground. A mixture between Town, England & a bit of stray ground hopping.

Football Ground Map (https://www.footballgroundmap.com) is an absolute must


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

I saw Neymar and Mo Salah both score for their country on the same day at the same stadium, and they weren't playing each other


<'(((((<

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam
