Recordist's notes
On Sunday I was at the recreation ground listening to Didcot Eagles v Marcham Reserves. I returned on Monday morning to listen to the sound of the A4130 and the users of the recreation ground. As with previous recordings of football pitches absent of any action I set up my microphone in the centre circle. This recording was made with Sound Devices 722T and an AT BP4025.
