Wow that home changing room door is going to need some new hinges for the second half 🥴

GOALLLLLL! Hogan steps up and confidently converts the penalty into the top corner. ⏱️ 40’ (0-5) #IsthmianLeague

Times have changed since I was told I couldn’t do sports stories on my NCTJ course and there was no point anyway, as my first job was going to be as a news reporter…
Press Gazette@pressgazette
The NCTJ says it has reached its target of having women make up 25% of students enrolled on NCTJ-accredited sports journalism courses. This is up from 6% in 2021/22, 14% in 2022/23 and 20% in 2023/24. CEO Joanne Forbes said it will now "move towards equal representation"

For better or for worse, all of it is part of what makes non-league football unique in my eyes 🤷♀️
And anyone who doubts that, I tell them the story of when Lingfield played Three Bridges on a Tuesday night, 16 years ago… although you really had to be there!
🥴🫣😂

It did make me think about all of the things I’ve seen in non-league football over the past 16/17 years while working as a journalist 🤣
Lots of ‘handbags’, several (open) water bottle thrown, quite a few punches and a manager headbutting a player during a game.

A good Surrey derby marred by an incident of alleged racism from a spectator towards a Whyteleafe player in the aftermath of the home club’s second goal.
Then the referee got involved and somehow made the situation worse? 🫠

Easily the busiest I’ve ever seen it at Church Road today for @AFCWhyteleafe vs @MersthamFC1892

Today’s challenge is to find a non-league football game that isn’t postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Has to feature at least one team our newspapers cover.
Ideally within a 70 minute drive.
Preferably not within ULEZ as I don’t think I can claim that back on expenses 🙃

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
I’m going to go to @LewesFCMen vs @FIFC for the Folkestone Herald - new ground for me, which is nice too 🤓

@matt_warmington @curtiz58 That’s interesting - I didn’t know Gosport had a 3G

@matt_warmington @curtiz58 While it would mean I could pop in to see my parents in Waterlooville, we only cover Farnham, Chertsey and Walton & Hersham in that league unfortunately.
English
@_ChrisPrior @Official_BHTFC @stalbanscityfc Neither of them sadly.
Surrey and west Kent looks to be a wash out so I’m looking at maybe @LewesFCMen vs @FIFC for the Folkestone Herald… or driving to @DealTownFC or @DoverAthletic for the Dover Express 🤔

@KayleeJS New to your twitter so not sure who you cover but @Official_BHTFC vs. @stalbanscityfc is on.

Lots of space to fill in next edition

@BeardedDM84 So Ramsgate are at Cray which isn’t that far from me but I’d have to pay ULEZ.
I could drive to Margate… but it’s a very long way 🫣
English
@curtiz58 Preferably Step 5 and above.
We have newspapers in Kent, Essex, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire… but I don’t think I could get to Deal Town, Chelmsford City or Dover Athletic in 70 minutes!
English
@Kevinmutch We cover three teams in the SL Prem South but neither of those.
I could go to Walton & Hersham I guess but my colleague covered them last week.
English
@KayleeJS Do you cover Weymouth or Gloucester?
Interesting afternoon ahead.
Gloucester - doing well in league, but poor recent form.
Weymouth - struggling in league but great form.
