I caught up with Christian recently and we had a good catch up. Many will know him for his website and Facebook profile of Through The Turnstile of No-League Football. If you have not visited the website recently, I recommend a read of some great blogs as he travels around the country

His BIG news is (drumroll, please) a new magazine that he is launching. Christian says, “I’m very excited to announce the launch of Parks to Pitches – a brand new magazine brought to you by Through the Turnstile of Non-League Football!

Bringing you the best stories, interviews, and insights from the world of Non-league football, Parks to Pitches is your new go-to for everything Non-league!

Release Date: November – Get ready to turn the page on a new era of non-league football coverage!

Follow @TTTONLF on Facebook, Instagram and X, for updates, sneak peeks, and exclusive content as we bring the beautiful game closer to you than ever before!”

So, there we have it….some BIG news but that’s not all. He has increased the range of his TTTONLF merchandise with pin-badges, T-shirts and now Bennies (below.) Please ping Christian if you fancy wearing these items as you cross the country. He has also got a shiny, new certificate (above) and raised a HUGE amount of money with a virtual duck race. Top man.

Meanwhile, his friend and partner in crime, Darren Ashley has been traversing the country producing insightful vlogs of a different non-league game each week. Catch up with Darren on YouTube every week. I subscribed (free of charge) so that I would never forget an episode. Incidentally, it looks like he has also become a Talisman for one particular Midlands club. Next stop Wembley? Well, no. There are a few rounds to go still but it is exciting to chart the progress. Enjoy.

Whilst all this good stuff is going on all around me, Gillingham have now lost five on a row. On Saturday we could have gone top of the table depending on results. By Tuesday night we are eight points behind Port Vale and looking doomed. Remine me, everyone, why we love football.

Have a great week
