Nomad-Online (www.nomad-online.co.uk)

Originally launched in 2000, the Nomad-Online website is now established as the online resource for information concerning non-League football in Sussex. At its heart is a complete and fully illustrated Directory of every club from Conference down to Division Three of the Sussex County League, plus the Premier Divisions of the five feeder Leagues. There is also a Directory of Sussex windmills!

Now in its third edition and completely updated for 2007/08 but as with Pyramid Passion, much of this information will gradually be incorporated into NLFG.

Launched in 2004, Pyramid Passion proved a phenomenal success but equally something of a monster, with an insatiable appetite that became difficult to satisfy, featuring an extensive nationwide Grounds Directory, plus various galleries featuring dugouts, ground-keeping equipment, signage, floodlights, programme covers and more besides.

Unfortunately the design software proved incompatible when I switched over from PC to Mac during the 2007 close-season and the site has proved impossible to update since then ... at least not without a ridiculous amount of work and re-building. I therefore decided to develop a new site - Non League Football Grounds (NLFG) - to replace Pyramid Passion, and gradually incorporate material from PP into the new one. However, this has taken longer than I first imagined! Rather than take PP offline I decided to leave it as a resource, albeit an out-of-date resource, at least until the new site is established.

The problem with having a cryptically-named site such as 'Pyramid Passion' is when you turn up at a club and ask for permission to take photographs of their ground, officials will understandably ask you for the name of the website. Despite PP being increasingly well-known I still found myself being subjected to quizzical looks and having to explain what the title actually meant.

I have therefore decided to keep PP for the more esoteric material and adopt the wisdom of a well-known manufacturer of home improvements products by developing a new site that "does exactly what it says on the tin".

The intention was to complete this during the 2007/08 season. However, work on A 'Season Of Sussex Soccer', and subsequently 'Wick To Wembley?', not to mention starting a Masters degree on top of my 'proper job' made this impossible. However, NLFG will definitely be online early in October 2008.
