THE COLD END IS SEVEN YEARS OLD TODAY

THE COLD END IS SEVEN YEARS OLD TODAY. I FIRST STARTED THE BLOG BACK ON FRIDAY 24th JULY 2009 AND IT HAS SINCE GROWN INTO, WHAT IS HOPEFULLY THOUGHT OF BY MANY, AS A DECENT WEBSITE ABOUT NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL. 

ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS IN THOSE SEVEN YEARS WAS WHEN THE COLD END WAS A NOMINEE FOR "THE BEST ESTABLISHED FOOTBALL BLOG" AT "THE FOOTBALL BLOGGING AWARDS" IN 2014 LINING UP ALONGSIDE SOME EXCELLENT PROFESSIONALLY RUN WEBSITES.

THANK YOU AS EVER TO EVERYONE WHO READS AND LOGS ON + ALSO ALL THE WONDERFUL FOOTBALL PEOPLE WHO I HAVE HELPED ME WITH INTERVIEWS THIS YEAR. 

I HAVE TO MENTION MY WIFE WHO CONTINUES TO PUT UP WITH MY OBSESSION WITH THE GAME... THANK YOU... I LOVE YOU LOTS!

THE COLD END IS A NOT FOR PROFIT WEBSITE WHICH AIMS TO PROMOTE THE GRASS ROOTS AND NON-LEAGUE GAME SO MORE PEOPLE SUPPORT THEIR LOCAL TEAMS AND GET TO KNOW PEOPLE VIA THE BEAUTFIUL GAME. 

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO USE ANY PHOTOS OR ARTICLES PLEASE FEEL FREE. ALL I ASK IS FOR IS A CREDIT GIVEN AND IF POSSIBLE A MENTION ON TWITTER @thecoldend

HERE'S TO A BRILLIANT 2016/17 NON-LEAGUE SEASON WHERE MANY NEW FRIENDSHIPS ARE MADE. GO OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CLUB - IT WON'T BREAK THE BANK AND YOU'LL BE MADE TO FEEL VERY WELCOME - YOU'LL NOT JUST BE ANOTHER CUSTOMER OR SEAT NUMBER!
