Ninety minutes somewhere unglamorous, written up properly.

Match of the Week is the matchday column: one game, chosen for the story around it rather than the size of the crowd. Swindon's 4-2 win at The Valley and a goalless night between Havant and Waterlooville and AFC Wimbledon are both in here, written from the stands.

How the match is chosen

There is no formula. A cup tie with history, a ground under threat, a club in trouble that turned up anyway. Non-league gets as much space as the Football League.
