Non-League Kettering Town fans prepare the football pitch for TV

Armed with their paint brushes and tool kits, lifelong fans of Kettering Town are busy preparing their 3,000 capacity ground ready for next month’s televised FA Cup tie.

There were jubilations after the Poppies humiliated local rivals – League One’s Northampton Town – in the first round, beating the Cobblers 2-1 at Sixfields.

Their next opponents are League Two’s Doncaster Rovers, and their Latimer Park site will be on display for viewers across the country.

The volunteers tell the BBC what they’ve been up to as the ground gets ready for kick-off.
