I do enjoy @bsky.app. Give @sthelenstownafc.bsky.social a follow. A little old football club form the South Lancs Coalfield that refused to die. A committee dedicated to steering the club back up the leagues. The club belongs to town #TownTeam @sthelenscouncil.bsky.social @sthelensstar.bsky.social

My Facebook feed is full of racism and Islamophobia, . My messages have direct opinions (some at me) from friends that tbh, I don’t want or need to know.

I wish people would stop being dicks! Just stop being dicks! Thank you, Michael x

What a club ⛏️ 🔵⚪️ #ExTerraLucem
At Saturday’s derby match against Haydock the teams were led out behind Northwest Miners Heritage Association’s Bold Colliery banner. Carrying the banner is Town volunteer, supporter, all round legend, John Cole & Chair, Ste Lingard. John’s father was a Bold miner as was Ste’s uncle ⛏️ #ExTerraLucem

Grown adults arguing on Twitter about Premier League club rivalry. Calling each others supporters. Screenshots going back years, searching through each others profiles for ammunition. You could be doing something constructive with all that time.

Like moaning about it on Bluesky 😁

The 85-86 season saw Town on a FACup run to reach the 1st round proper. Unfortunately lost a home replay to @morecambefc.bsky.social denying us a chance to take on Jim Smith’s @yorkcityfc-unoffic.bsky.social from the old Div 3. However a crowd of 1,200 turned up to our old home Hoghton Rd on a Tues.

In today’s Daily Mirror, a fascinating find by football historian Steve Bolton. Steve is the grandson of St Helen’s legendary women’s football pioneer Lizzy Ashcroft, as well as a friend of the club

Non league done the right way #TownTeam
The connection between the team, committee, volunteers and supporters is a special one. It’s at the heart of everything we’re building at the club 💙

The pit has gone. Llay Miners Welfare FC hasn't.

Laura went to see how football is keeping the spirit of Miners' Welfare alive in a Welsh community still dealing with the loss of the coal mining industry

Always remember my nan and grandad accidentally nazi saluting me as we’d drive away from visiting their rented two up two down… I mean, it’s not like they’d understand the horror behind the gesture.
For the past 18 months, the Anti-Defamation League has been calling out people who criticise Israel, accusing them of antisemitism. Yet they're willing to give Elon Musk the benefit of the doubt over his nazi salute. That's not 'a bit of grace'. that's a revealing double-standard

People ask me why do I watch non-league football.
Special mention to our Andy Langley. Today marked his 600th game following his home town club. Not only is he Town’s most loyal supporter but he’s also our matchday announcer, famed for Langers Bangers and squealing feedback.

Tek a bow lad #TownMertz 💙
