About James Bartaby

Hey, I'm James and I'm relatively new to non-league football, having only taken in my first match in September 2011. Despite it being a 0-4 defeat for Hampton & Richmond Borough, I became a huge fan of the club and NL in general. So much so that they are now the first club that I mention when talking about which team I support! I just got massively disillusioned with top flight football in this country and the attitudes of the lawmakers and top clubs in general, and I wanted to start taking my son to see decent football. I now write match reports semi-regularly for the Hampton official website, aswell as watching Ashford Town (Middlesex) as much as I can.

With a figure of fifteen hundred targeted, so far only around 360 have been bought for the 2013-14 season. This will be even harder for the club to take, as the tickets were available […]
