Steyning Town CFC 5 NON-LEAGUE PAPER FOOTBALL IS BACK! WHICH MEANS THAT THE NON-LEAGUE PAPER COLUMN IS ALSO MAKING A RETURN. THIS WEEK THEY TAKE A LOOK AT THE MATCHDAY PROGRAMME AND HOW THE ‘NEW NORMAL’ COULD AFFECT IT

IF YOU’RE reading this, then it’s good news – you’re reading a football programme, an increasingly endangered species. Like many things post-coved and in this ‘new normal’ there are lots of things different at our Non- League grounds now. The National League have given their clubs the option of not running programmes this year and we’ve seen similar in the EFL. In this digital world an increasing number of clubs are looking at those avenues rather than the printed page. Everyone will have their views on this traditional aspect of football match going. But here we are, in a programme, talking about competitive Non-League football. Hopefully that is as good to read as it is good to write. For many months now we’ve not had much competitive football to write about in The NLP. Yes, we had some play-off games, but the return this month of competitive football starting with the FA Cup has been most welcome.

Of course, everything around the game is different. Without crowds it would have been impossible to We’re all getting used to the added things we have start the season. Then the fears for clubs as soon as to do. Book a ticket online beforehand, fill out a test the pandemic broke out would have been multiplied. and trace form, sanitise our hands as we enter the ground, follow one-way systems.
