🏟️ Despite its charms, the FA Vase generally remains a footnote in the football calendar, escaping the attentions of the average match-going fan.
📚 But the 2020/21 season was like no other. With the country in and out of various lockdown restrictions, ‘elite’ sport was largely played behind closed doors. If you wanted to get your football fix, you had to attend local non-league games.
✍️ Set in a unique football season fraught with uncertainty, this fascinating book includes:
☑️ A first-person account of Lowery’s attempt to attend a game in every round of the 2020/21 FA Vase
☑️ Visits to an array of non-league clubs – from Whitley Bay to Warrington Rylands – from where Lowery captures the matchday experience in light-hearted but vivid detail
☑️ Frank reflection on Lowery’s own mental state to provide a deeper insight into his lockdown experience
☑️ An interesting and emotional side-plot as Lowery’s beloved Sutton United look like they could make history
✍️ Filled with funny and sometimes poignant reflections on life and the grass roots game, Amateur Hour captures both the strangeness of the lockdown period and the beauty of lower-league football.
Have to say I’m quite a big fan of Friday night football. Can get the ruining of my weekend out of the way nice and early
Surely better punishment is to only sell tickets to away fans? Given they’re ID verified with England too. All money donated to charity. 8,000 England fans at your own home game is a far bigger punishment than having a load of kids in

Ahead of England’s game with Croatia tomorrow night in Rijeka, we reiterate our stance that collective punishments on supporters should not exist.
The sanctions in place against our opponents should not impact England supporters, who should still receive the normal 5% allocation. England will have just 100 supporters in attendance via the FA’s delegate allocation.
We will continue to raise this issue with UEFA through @FansEurope.
24 hours after being a Czech ultra I’m in Tamworth. No issues getting an away end ticket here thankfully
Sutton’s finest 😍
Surrey win a thriller at the Kia Oval! 🔥
Josh Blake ends on a magnificent 43* alongside Dan Worrall who hits the winning runs. 👏

I think Friday probably took it out of us more than we realised. 4 wins from 5 is still a great start, on to the next one
Long way to go yet obviously but this team is very exciting. Completely different feeling to last season
Game has never been so gone
Three of tonight's matches at @aylesford_fc, @FcEquinoccial and @HawkingeTownFC have been postponed due to the Solar Eclipse
