I might have to buy a scarf
Welcome to Nethermoor Park, home of Conference North table-toppers Guiseley AFC, where I hope to spend quite a bit of time in the coming months.
One of the things I miss most about living outside Northern Ireland is the opportunity to watch my team, Coleraine, play football on a regular basis. But that's how it is.
However, rather than complain, I need to find a substitute.
So last night my good friends Ben (below left), Other John and I went along to see Guiseley strut their stuff.
Ben volunteered to sample the catering at half-time, and was impressed.
John and I were equally thrilled at the bar prices - £2.80 a pint. You can't argue with that.
The football was pretty slick too. Below you can see Guiseley's fifth goal fly in courtesy of a penalty.
They won 7-1 in the end, following an opening day 4-1 away victory on Saturday.
Indeed, the only problem I foresee is the fact that they're so good - I'm not used to supporting winning teams in any sport.
But I suppose I'll just have to try and get used to it.
