| Description: |
As a boy, Ian Ridley dreamt of lining up for his home football team, Weymouth FC. As a man, he embarks on the biggest challenge - to take on the role of Chairman and save what was left of the team that had fuelled those childhood dreams. This is a story of political backstabbing and petty rivalry; of euphoric highs and personal pain. |
| Synopsis: |
The Southern League team of Weymouth FC were in dire straits: nearly half a million in the red, dogged by boardroom squabbles, a decrepit ground, falling turnouts and an end of season performance that saw them lose 5-1 to arch enemies, Yeovil Town. Join Ridley on his rollercoaster journey as he shows just what can be done with a dose of obsessive commitment and unstinting optimism. It's a story of political backstabbing and petty rivalry; of euphoric highs and personal pain; of a man that thought that it should be simpler. Who thought that football - that Weymouth - deserved better. Brilliantly observed, infused with Ridley's trademark wit and peppered with fascinating insights into the machinations of boardroom football, FLOODLIT DREAMS is a compelling journey into the hinterland of the beautiful game. |
