Cracking @camsell59.bsky.social article in latest @wsc.co.uk issue, on away fans in the home end. I still wake up in a cold sweat remembering time I instinctively jumped up to celebrate a late Thierry Henry goal at the Riverside & sitting through the 4-4 in the Leazes lower tier at St James’ Park!

Happy three-month birthday to Final Destination, my first travel book.

If you're not getting away this summer, let these country-wide rail trips make you feel like you have.

Atmosphere perfectly conveyed by @camsell59.bsky.social as usual.
The devil might have the best tunes, but Harry Pearson owns many of the best lines. This, on pre-season friendlies, from the new issue of @wsc.co.uk: '[We hand] over the admission money to the turnstile-pensioner who is wearing silky, thigh-revealing shorts and smells of rum and coconut'.

Loved @camsell59.bsky.social's piece in WSC about why we keep turning up to Pre-Season friendlies. Every single time I go to a Norwich or Stowmarket one I leave saying I'll never go to a friendly again, yet at least once a year I end up politely applauding at some half pace match or another
