Recordist's notes
This recording is part of Get Rid! a project exploring the sounding culture of grassroots football in Oxfordshire. On Sunday I visited this venue and made a recording of the game between Wallingford Reserves and Watlington Town. I made this recording in the same spot the following Tuesday. The recording was made with a Sound Devices 722T and an AT BP4025
