I have written a book called From Hashtag United to Wembley. The 333 pages of the book follow my 2021-22 season FA Trophy trail. I started at Hashtag United in the First Round Qualifying and followed the winners of each tie all the way to Wembley. The book is a light-hearted story of my travels, much people-watching, an exploration of each home town or city, meeting supporters and watching some excellent games. The book is now available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle format. You can grab a copy at this link. Any questions? Just ask away.
I wrote the book purely for fun and will be donating profits from the sale of any books to the Charlton Upbeats.

1RQ - Hashtag United v Chipstead
2RQ - Aylesbury United v Chipstead

Nice one!If you can get the attention of the Hashtag United social channels, you might be able to get a decent social media boost. They've a big internet following from the YouTube generation and have 225k followers on Twitter - more than most EFL clubs.2

A wise man told me Callum they have a half a million YouTube subscribers, more than Leicester City.

I really can’t recommend this book enough. If you enjoy people watching and general observational stuff then you’ll love this book. In book terms it’s a comfy pair of slippers, I’m around halfway through (which is about the most I’ve read in a decade) and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
plus it’s supporting the Upbeats, so it’s not too late to get it on your Xmas list.
well done @thai malaysia addick great achievement

Great work Phil - Just ordered it too via SmileAmazon.
PS Just in case anyone is not aware,if one orders anything on SmileAmazon website rather than Amazon a donation is made to charity. I nominate CASPA - an Autism Charity based in Bromley but one can choose any charity they like. I know it is a drop in the Ocean for Amazon, but every little bit helps.3 -
Ash showed me his review at the match yesterday. Ordered! Love the 'winner stays on' idea behind which fixtures to attend!3
