Easy way to compensate for this change, whilst also making for more giant killing and fun in general: For the First Round (when the 48 L1 & L2 teams join) the 32 non-league qualifiers are all at home. For the Third Round (when the 44 PL & Champ teams join) the 20 L1/L2/non-league teams are all...

I've seen people on various sites claiming they ripped off the Gremlins, Ewoks or Furbies for the design of Beep The Meep. As any proper Dr Who geek knows, Beep the Meep predates all of those, being based on the most popular Doctor Who comic strip of all time which ran across several issues of...

Everybody feels their own club is harder done by than any other. It's one of the side effects of football being a sport followed largely by manbabies who increasingly believe they have no agency in a rapidly diversifying and less easily understandable world (and that's not a criticism btw as I'm...

There are a lot of websites and social media groups still pushing BML2. This is the main one (which was updated a few weeks ago so is still very active) which goes into way more detail about the logistics: https://www.bml2.co.uk/bml2-route-plans I think the main selling point is that by having...

Presumably (to whatever extent it was anything beyond pie-in-the-sky to begin with) BML2 is now dead in the water? I'm guessing post-HS2 cancellation there's no appetite for new rail routes, especially not ones with the number 2 in. For those who don't recall it, 10-15 years ago Network Rail...

Get a proper solicitor then. Like other taxes (income tax etc) it's only charged on the overage beyond the allowance.

You made a valid point (in your earlier post) re the FA's investment in a new pitch at the Pan, but memories are fleeting and the Lewes pitch needs more work than most being essentially a flood plain (thus historically more waterlogged than most) but surely that's all the more reason to lessen...

Following on from my groundshare hot potato, I was at the Pan last night for the Charlton game and Lewes were (to my surprise) the better side, only a dodgy injury time penalty decision giving us the win. I didn't overhear any arguments between Yes/No voters and the attendance was above average...

That's not quite right. They couldn't move elsewhere without the agreement of the main Lewes FC (ie presumably another vote amongst the full fan ownership). There are so many hurdles to clear before the issue would even come up (ie the M13 vote passing, Lewes women staying up this season, Lewes...

You potentially need to factor in (if advantageous) the prospect of Lewes women sharing any new facility. For those who haven't been following it, Lewes 'owners' (ie 1,800 folks who pay £50+ a year for that title) have spent the past week voting on whether to sell off 51% of their women's team...

Indeed. Where have the people who Jamied Jamie gone? NSC has gone soft yeah x

Not worried from that perspective. One was fresh out of university and unknown and the other I've never met. Just not going to be able to namedrop them on my CV anymore if they feature tonight.

Perusing rumours on MusX (or whatever Twitter's called now) self-centred me is worried I'm going to have to rewrite (and slightly diminish) my career biog tonight. My first job in TV and my highest profile scriptwriting job to date each starred (a different) one of the main names in the frame...

Supposedly you held an auction with a fixed end time which they won. If you auction something on eBay and then refuse to send it to the winning bidder you will rightly get reported to eBay etc. You should at least pretend to send him to Anfield (mislabel the Evri parcel he's shipped in or...

Maybe you accept Chelsea's £115m and give Liverpool £4m of it to apologise?
