Here's some very good news: former Northern League Chairman, Mike Amos is continuing his blog, this time on an independent basis - that peculiarly English predisposition to shoot ourselves in our own feet led to the blog being discontinued on the Northern League web site.
Mike says:
"As with the original, Grass Routes will chiefly seek to promote the unique pleasures of Northern League football and of life and times in North-East England. As the name suggests, there will also be a public transport element – and like many of the bus services, it will probably make quite a few roundabout journeys. As with the original, it will seek chiefly to be an entertainment."
