Hackney Marshes in the rain yesterday:
There's a wonderful slideshow here by Dutch photographer Hans van der Meer, from his book "European Fields: The Landscape of Lower League Football".
[I linked to this before, but, well, it's been a while…]

Mick,
how many games were being played? Someone told me there are now only a dozen or so, down from 100 odd I knew in the 70/80s.LikeLike

Betjeman :
“Near Essex of the River Lea
And anglers out with hook and worm
And Epping Forest glades where we
Had beanfeasts with my father’s firm.
At huge and convoluted pubs
They used to set us down from brakes
In that half-land of football clubs
Which London near the Forest makes.”LikeLike

Richard – yes, I’d say about a dozen games. It was raining, mind.
