Hi Stevenage fans,

I work for a film production company and we’ve just made a scripted comedy pilot called Life In Non League, set around a fictional non-league football club and the volunteers, committee members and regular matchday characters who keep it running.

It’s shot in a mockumentary style and is very much based on real experiences at that level — budget arguments, club politics, stewards taking things too seriously, people doing five different jobs on a Saturday, all the stuff anyone who’s been around grassroots and non-league football will recognise.

The pilot has just been released on Youtube ahead of Non-League Day on tomorrow. If you want to give it a watch I've included a link below or you can find it on our Shush Films Youtube channel.

Filmed at Atherton Collieries if I'm not mistaken. God I'm a northern boy now! I can relate to this a lot!

Was it the credits at the end thanking Atherton Collieries that gave it away? ;)

The aerial shot at the start was enough, but then the badges round the ground helped ;)

I was chatting at a non league game last year, saying you could make a great TV programme out of the characters you find at non league games! Hope it's great

If I was ever going to write a sitcom, which I had no intention of doing, this would've been the basic concept. So I reckon I should be getting paid for this.

Why would a club about to enter the Championship be interested in tinpot life?

Some say the match day announcer character was based on Drackers 😆
