NIGHT 24 OF 31
Footballers
A match and a supper. Supporting is the costume even if you do not play.
ACCESSORIES
A soft ball. Tape on the socks if you want the look.
DECORATIONS
A pitch drawn in chalk on the flattest yard. Flags that are scarves.
ATMOSPHERE
A match and a supper. Supporting is the costume even if you do not play.
FOOD
Pies, chips in paper, oranges at half if anyone remembers half.
DRINK
Squash in big jugs. The stall calls it match tea and it is not tea.
MUSIC
A chant that is about the mountain, not a real club. Keep it that way.
ACTIVITIES
A short match, or a kickabout, or waving the scarf from a hay bale.
THE PARTY
Full time is when the pies come back out.
AFTER DARK
Shirts over coats. The chalk pitch survives until footsteps do not.
OF THIS OCTOBER
Owen takes the chalk lines personally. Hattie scores and apologizes to the pumpkin she passed. Of this October.
EVENTS
- Chalk-pitch kickabout
- Scarves as flags
- Pies at full time
A FRAME, IF YOU WANT ONE
You in a scarf and football shirt on a chalk pitch at a mountain festival, pies and lanterns, joyful, no club logos, no text.
STALL
Fest scarf
Orange and bone stripes. Not a club. Yours.
