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!

Wish I could make this - if you're in the vicinity go and hang.
It will possibly clash with Antiques Roadshow, but if you happen to be in Glasgow on November 16th, please do come along and listen to me and the marvellous

What’s more summery than a village fair?
And what’s a must in every proud Belgian town on fair day? A kermesse bike race!
And what’s more special than a kermesse bike race? A Derny criterium!
And what’s rarer than a Derny criterium? An Elite Women’s Derny criterium!

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

'A beautifully observed and sympathetic tour of modern Britain,' said that man @quantick.bsky.social.

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
