Fantastic, I love your coverage of these non league clubs up in the north east. Great stuff You have gave me the inspiration to do something like this here in Kent. There is only one league club here in Kent (Gillingham) but there is loads of non league sides. The nearest to me is Lydd Town which is a club that I can guess that not many people have heard off. Thanks for producing great content All the best from way down south 👍

Thanks Mark, it's nice to know I'm doing something right 😁. When I first started looking at non-league clubs in the pre-internet age, with only the.Non League Directory and a road map, I used to look out for North Kent grounds with my parents on holiday 😄 Whitstable, Margate, Faversham, Deal, Ramsgate, Gravesend & Northfleet. Childhood memories. Good.luck if you start a YT channel.. You won't get many views for a while, but keep going 😉

Yep! Next to the sea, on a hill. Night matches in January are a treat 😄
