This pretty topical and fortunately getting lots of press because of the plight of Dulwich Hamlet FC, there are lots of great things about Hamlet, they get massive support for step 3 (the 7th tier of English Football) gates often North of 1500 generally a good gate at that level is 300-450. It is a genui...

Long overdue I think, better than bundling all sorts into the Leeds and non league thread. I see, after all the speculation, Graham Potter has just left Swansea to join Brighton, signing a 4 year deal. I know everyone wants to progress in their career / life and the lure of the Premier League would be big...

I've been to two new venues this year Litherland Remyca (step 5) and Maine Rd (step 6) Both only cost a fiver to get in. The standa...

Cheating - of all sorts - in Other Sports

We cover a lot of doping, match-fixing etc in tennis But it's also interesting to see what problems other sports have Certain drug problems (in cycling, East European athletics etc) are well-known But this took me by surprise: the Norwegians (the Norwegians - our bastion of peace talks, and nobel pr...

PDC World Darts Champs
(Preview)
Anyone been watching this? Unfortunately the great man Dennis Ovens was just knocked out. The upside of this is the draw is now wide open for an unknown to come through the draw. The young prospect Phillip Taylor has had some success in recent years and might fancy his chances now Ovens is gone, whilst t...

2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Groups
(Preview)
Bit of a farce that the draw was so intertwined and restricted by the conclusion of the Nations League, with in particular us not going to know the top seeds in 8 of the groups until the end of March. That said, I don't think the home nations can have too much complaints about their draws. A: Germany or It...

Charlotte Dujardin

I was shocked & saddened by the news yesterday that Charlotte Dujardin had withdrawn from the British dressage team for the Paris Olympics following the emergence of a four-year-old video which showed her, as she terms it, "making an error of judgement". My shock & sadness turned to horr...

I give up! Apparently, the IOC threatened us with the loss of the right to host qualifying events for new Olympic sports unless we gave in. As Matthew Syed puts it in the article, "That's right: for the sake of hosting a breakdancing event in Stratford"!!! ...

Ray Reardon

One of snookers greatest passed away yesterday and the age of 91. Ray Reardon was a 6 times world champion before going on to become almost a surrogate snooker father to Ronnie O'Sullivan. Can't ever remember seeing him without a smile on his face - win or lose. This is a beautiful conversation betwee...

French media and ( significant numbers of ) crowds - BOO to you back ! Put up anything, just anything, with some credibility or shut up. Sky's sheer professionalism ( not meant as any sort of euphemism ) is not a crime. Guess Chris Froome just doesn't ride for such an err renowned team as Astana, the team o...

British Basketball

Just to point out that British club basketball is now the strongest it has ever been. London Lions got to the semi final of the Euro Cup before losing out to a superb Paris basketball side in front of a full house at the copper box. This is the best performance by a British side in European basketball. The e...
