Grassroots venues offer intimacy and visibility. Two things that help fans feel in control.

It’s a kind of safety you can’t measure in square feet, but fans feel it in their bones.

There’s something powerful about smaller spaces.

You can see the exits. You can find your friends. You can talk to staff without shouting.

If a family is wealthy enough to send their child to Fettes, why does the taxpayer pick up the tab for their university tuition? Good question! And Jenny Gilruth simply cannot answer it. #bbcgms

This morning's eclipse was covered by cloud so I had to seek a consolation moonrise this evening and managed to snare it in the Granton Gasholder

Over the last few weeks we lost The Caldonia in Liverpool, and the Dorothy Pax in Sheffield.

Classic Saint and Greavsie clip from 1989.

Here they discuss a track invader at the Athletics from a few days earlier.

No pundit would get away with saying this these days. 😂
