Longford AFC, who play in the 12th tier of the English football pyramid, have conceded 179 goals in 18 games so far this season, scoring just once at the other end

It all looks and sounds like something from The Onion

Does the last line of the article imply that he has to pay 5 pounds per game to be on the team?

"Stuart knows that there will be no special treatment, he will still need to pay his £5 a game subs."

So is this basically a pub team? They're not pro, right? Seems like nothing more than a little Sunday rec soccer.

20 plus tiers. It's actually structured quite beautifully.
