The Hillmen will feature on the BBC this weekend after a film crew visited Surrey Street on Thursday as part of a feature for BBC News’ Sportsday programme.
Despite the driving rain the 3-strong BBC crew managed to film inside and out of the Arthur Goldthorpe Stadium and interview Chairman Dave Atkinson and Press Officer Jonathan Haggart before moving on to training and speaking to Manager Chris Willcock and Club Captain Dave Young.
The BBC have regained the rights to the FA Cup from this season and is keen to cover the competition from the very start, selecting North End for their Extra Preliminary round coverage.
The feature, likely to be around 2 minutes long, will show on BBC News Sportsday from 1830 on Friday 15th August and again on ‘Saturday Sportsday’ at 1250 on BBC1 on the 16th. It may also feature on BBC Breakfast on Saturday morning and be placed on the BBC Sport website and will also be shown on BBC World across the globe!
The feature is now available to view via the BBC iPlayer
That’s awesome, looking forward to seeing it.
