Always At Home: Bristol's Beautiful Game

With 41 teams in the same place every Saturday, The Bristol Downs League is completely unique. Joe Sims spends a year with the players who are always at home.

The Bristol Downs League is a completely unique football experience; 41 teams all in the same place every Saturday - a home game every week.

It's not just about the competition; it's about the connections made along the way.

And for the last 120 years it's where families gather, friends reunite, and the community comes together.

We've spent a year with teams and players so whether you're a player, a fan, or just someone who loves the game, the Bristol Downs League is where you belong.
