Hopeton01 - The Soccer Match

What a serendipity! I don't know the Northampton area very well and while out jogging, I heard the roar of a crowd nearby; it was Northampton v MK Dons and like 'Henman Hill' at Wimbledon, passers-by can easily view the game from the surrounding slopes. A free game!

My main Blip was taken at half-time when local children had the chance to take penalties on a professional soccer pitch - a lovely opportunity for them. The second photo was taken at the side of the stadium where construction work is being completed and features a team shot of the players near the bottom of the picture.
