Rhodes Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 This week's episode of the Ampthill Town Podcast with the Club's Assistant Manager Nathan Griffiths chatting to presenter Tyler Freeman ahead of the new campaign: S2 E4 With Nath Griffiths - Pre-Season Roundup, Eyes On Promotion & Amps Kick Off Their Campaign! - The Ampthill Army Podcast! | Podcast on Spotify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 After all the hype from Tyler Freeman on his Podcast and Blog, I understand that Ampthill Town were unable to send a team to Cogenhoe United yesterday and 'cried off', that's very surprising isn't it ahead of their SSML Division One opener with Langford on Tuesday evening and perhaps a sign that everything in the Ampthill Park garden isn't as rosy as it is made out to be. Still, you have to admire and respect Mr Freeman's enthusiasm, similar to that of AlwaysLeighton, it's refreshing from the younger generation who mostly only know about the Premier League: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
