Inspired by Bob's suggestion of a dedicated thread following an entertaining discussion on the Loughborough M25 thread, I'm launching this. Feel free to chip in with contributions of your own, especially what gets your goat about other people's glaring grammatical errors when you see/hear the...
Time to start scratching your heads and come up with your predictions for 2025. We had 38 entries last year, almost the same as the previous year. It would be great to see a few more taking part this year, especially from some of the more recent and more active members. The closing date for entries is midn...
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...
For my own amusement, I thought I would try and keep track of the top tennis nations over the course of the year and see where GB stacked up. Being honest, my main interest is the mens game, so I planned to track the week by week average rankings of the top 10 players in each of the key countries and see if GB ma...

We've had a specific rankings thread in the women's section for ages. But not one in the men's. So, in the good-old period, it all got put in the STEVEN thread. Which seemed a little weird after a while. And during the horrid-old period, there was the transition tour section for ITF rankings, and we har...
Into July already!! You know the process - anyone can nominate, just add a player to the list below and give a reason for the nomination. The nominations process is 4 weeks this month and ends on Sunday July 27th. It obviously includes the whole of Wimbledon main draws, plus events thereafter. Nomin...
Have we acquired another player? Last week, when he & Ben Jones won the doubles title as wild cards in Monastir, the 24-year-old was quite clearly flying the US flag according to the ITF site. The ITF is still showing him as representing the US. Sofascore this week has assigned him a Union flag &...

So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...
