Film was very disappointing; however the book of the same name is a superb read - and very relatable.

I quite enjoyed the whimsical fee to the film, very much a chilled non-league fee to it, that only non-league supporters get. Forget the bad acting & enjoy  :)

It was a very good book, and relatable as you say, although I thought its ending was a bit corny.

By the way, we featured in the late author Dave Roberts' sequel, Home and Away, which covered Bromley's first season after promotion to the National League in 2015-16.

Read both 32 Programmes and Home & Away by Dave Roberts......both a decent read and had me laughing in tears at times....sad to learn he passed away at such a relatively young age
