Non-league Kettering Town fans prepare football pitch for TV

Armed with their paintbrushes and toolboxes, long-time Kettering Town fans are busy preparing their 3,000-capacity ground for next month’s televised FA Cup clash.

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

Their next opponents are League Two side Doncaster Rovers, and their Latimer Park venue will be showcased to viewers across the country.

The volunteers tell the BBC what they did as the pitch prepares for kick-off.
