Christopher approached us to publish a second book of poems which explores his love of both non-league football and travel around the 'hinterlands', the less well-known places where the game is played. The poems are vignettes of his experience during the 2019-20 season which finished early due to the pandemic - he writes:

I recall my last game attended of that forgotten season at Belper Town

and a feeling of a storm coming. Social distancing, clean hands

and with face masks to come, the games ended and

there was a feeling of loss. 

​

We thought that replicating the style of a classic football programme would add something to the mood of the book and Chris wanted illustrations to accompany each poem.
