European Athletics Champs - Birmingham

It is the first time GB has hosted the European Champs for a very long time and no suprise it has impacted on the Commonwealth Games entries, being so close - starts next week . I went to Barcelona back in 2010 and it was really enjoyable. I plan to go to Birmingham, but they dont make it easy. There are morni...

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...

Commonwealth Games - Glasgow

Downgraded last minute event after the Aussies dropped it. Missing many events, big athletes missing out and poor TV coverage. Unfortunately, i dont see this going on much longer. PS - hosting commonwealth games and European Championships has ruined the domestic athletics calendar. All domesti...

The numbers groundhopping (visiting new football grounds)seems to be growing in popularity and I have started trying to take in matches where I can at all different levels. 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...

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...

How sick do you feel if you are Yomif Kejelcha right now (or, even worse in ten years time). Sub two-hour marathon, and no-one will ever remember you.

US Masters 2026

Rory McIlroy - heck !! And he relatively actually hadn't been playing that well with in particular dodgy approaches with pundits agreeing that he was scoring better than he was playing - a useful trick. Then came the last 7 holes of Round 2. I admit to having never really taken to him as a personality. Bu...

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

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...

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.
