Disillusioned with the corporate ownership, mega-bucks culture,
and overpaid prima donnas, of the Premiership, Steve Leach embarked
on a journey to rediscover the soul of professional football.
His journey, over the 2012/13 season, took him to twenty-four
different Football Conference towns and fixtures, visiting venues
as diverse as the Impact Arena in Alfreton, Stonebridge Road in
Ebbsfleet, and Luton's Kenilworth Road.
Encountering dancing bears at Nuneaton, demented screamers at
Barrow, and 'badger pasties' at rural Forest Green - Steve
unearthed the stories behind the places and people - it was a
journey that showed just how football and communities intertwine,
and mean something. As the season progressed Steve relished how
unfancied teams of part-timers, such as Braintree Town and
Dartford, could defeat higher status opponents, and watched 'big
name' clubs such as Luton Town and Lincoln City struggle to make an
impact. Throughout all this, his anguish grew at the prospect of
his beloved Stockport County getting relegated.
Conference Season is a warm and discerning celebration of the
diversity of towns and clubs which feature in the Conference, and
of the supporters who turn up week-after-week to cheer their teams
on.
