Recordist's notes
This recording was made at an Oxford Mail Youth Football League (OMYFL) match. The distinctive thud of football boots connecting with the ball can be heard throughout along with coaches, substitutes warming up, spectators, players and the occasional passing train. As usual the air occasionally reverberates with the sound of air traffic. Recorded using my Edirol R-09HR. With its Rycote Windjammer on one of the substitutes mistook it for a hedgehog.
