Has anyone on here turned to non league for their live football fix?
At Dudley Town we’ve seen a bit of an upturn in gates, today I got talking to three Walsall season ticket holders and an Albion season ticket holder, all admitted to having the bug for their ‘new’ local team and are keen for more..... (until today’s announcement of course)
All of them have said the same thing, they felt honesty in football had all but disappeared until they came to watch this present Dudley side.
To see a family spanning three generations all from Walsall taking on a non league league side from another local town as their other team for me is absolutely brilliant.

This is one of the few benefits of being a Step 6 club in the non league system, we can still go and watch, albeit the maximum allowed in is 300.
I realise that Mick re max crowds.
It’s been unbelievably frustrating at grassroots level but when the games are on it’s been good. People are playing the ‘Covid card’ to get games called off by quoting NHS 111 advice, if they want the game to go ahead they quote FA guidelines.
Obviously things have changed today, who knows how long it will take until we can go back, maybe it will be Dec 2nd onwards, it remains to be seen.
Whichever way you look at it, it’s been refreshing watching Dudley anyway.
I'll be going to my last match tomorrow night watching Folkestone Invicta in the Isthmian Premier League. Will stand on the wet and windy open terrace and meet up with a few mates who go regularly. We're not doing as well this season but who cares, it's fresh air, a good chinwag, putting the world to right and watching live football. I'll miss it over the next month.
