Park Life - Rhondda Football Book

[Park Life]

I am a lifelong Bluebird, long time reader of this board and chuffed with 3 points today! This is a shameless plug for a book i have written about grassroots football, community and post match pub culture in the Rhondda. It is called ‘Park Life’ four seasons of Rhondda football.
The foreword is written by fellow Rhondda boy Nathan Jones whose Luton Town team bear Swansea today.
You might enjoy it and relate to it, especially if you have ever played amateur football ....

Sludge is going to go mental when he sees a plug for a book about a local Conservative Club.

Seriously good luck. I ll get a copy.

Playing with a serious hangover was no fun.

[Park Life]

Agreed playing with a hangover is never fun.

Thank you in advance if you get a copy, I really hope you enjoy it

In relation to it being a con club, the book describes the irony of a con club in the Rhondda Valley and if you ever go there you would see what I mean

As a recent review states “you wont need to be a football fan or lover of beer and music to enjoy this book - but it'll certainly help.”

Sincere thank you to any Bluebirds that have supported the book, it is appreciated ⚽️

Any book about grassroots football deserves a plug , will share with folk, well done .

Thank you very much, it was not an easy journey to get it published.
Lots of publishers adhere to the misconception that South Wales is all rugby and not football.
I really appreciate your help sharing, it is appreciated ⚽️

Nothing about Blur in there?

Like Blur and saw them together with Jesus and Mary chain, my bloody valentine and dinosaur jr at the ice rink as part of the rollercoaster tour in 1992 ....but they are not mentioned specifically in the book.

Signed copies of Park Life are now available from the excellent ‘Spirit of 58’ Wales football shop in sunny Bala in case anyone is interested. Thanks to Tim at ‘Spirit of 58’ for his support.

[Park Life]
