Greetings everyone and welcome to the latest edition of TLFG.
Sadly it's a very minimal effort at this stage with just the match maps for the week but I anticipate having some time tomorrow when I might be able to add some more detail.
The main reason for this is that I've been given the opportunity to edit the Actonians programme for Wednesday's game against Chesham United which is being played at North Greenford United.
Everything was going smoothly with interviews and features all fine but then it came to the stats documents on Excel.

| On Friday morning I ran to Dulwich Hamlet |
I never have cause to use this type of software or do any spreadsheets and although editing them was pretty easy, the programme template just wouldn't accept them so I've sent the completed files back to the chair of the club to see if she can get them to take!
On a totally different topic, some of you may have seen on X/Twitter how I've recently started running an A-Z of London football clubs.
Starting off from my home in W12, I've so far managed to get to Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea and Dulwich Hamlet.
Hopefully I'll get an E in this week, with Edgware & Kingsbury my primary target.
Anyway, enjoy your week and hopefully I'll have a bit more info for you in the next few days.
THE WEEK AHEAD
Over the next few days we've got games in the Premier League, EFL, EFL Cup, National League and FA Cup on the male side.
The Women's Super League moves into its second week, the Championship continues and as well as National League games, we've also got some action in the Women's Champions League too.
As always, please make sure you check with clubs before you travel just in case a game has been called off or the venue or kick-off time has changed - this is highly possible for some of the lower non-league clubs. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong or missing.
Details on all of this week's games can be found on the following match maps. If you've never used them before, please note that when there is more than one match at a specific ground you'll only be able to see individual match pins if you zoom right in. If you don't, the pins obscure each other and you might miss them. To avoid this, you can also scroll down the list of games on the drop down menu at the top of the map page to make sure you get all the information. Games are listed from top to bottom in date order so Monday's games (yellow pin) will appear first and Sunday's (orange pin) last. Games are also ranked in terms of status so the higher the division, the higher up the list they will appear on each day.
Also if you're unfamiliar with the English league structure I indicate the level at which an individual league sits in the national 'pyramid' with the Premier League at the top (Level 1) and various minor leagues at the bottom (Level 10). Typically a top level game will see crowds of anywhere between 20,000-60,000. These figures will gradually decline as you go down the leagues until you get to Levels 8-10 where attendances of 150 or less are most common.
It should also be noted that the top four levels are for fully professional teams. Level 5 has a mixture of professional and semi-professional teams, while Levels 6-10 will see most players paid but it will vary from no more than travel expenses at the bottom, right up to several hundred pounds a week at the top.

If you're going to see a game, whether you're a local or a visitor, please let me know what you've been up to. If you're interested in reviewing a ground in the London area for this blog then get in touch. I also very much welcome photos of your football travels.
Got any questions about visiting London? Don't hesitate to ask - be they football or more general travel/touristy queries. I do not charge for this advice like some other sites so don't hold back!
