    Congratulations GWRS, that's 3 consecutive promotions, isn't it?
    Good win for my team today, new stadium is helping.
    I don’t like football and wouldn’t watch it through choice, but that was an exceptional match.

    Thanks GWRS ... think it may take a while 🙄 Punkdoc’s a Spurs fan.

    Sure am.
    Hoping to go to new stadium before the end of the season.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    It's dry, the sun is trying to come out and I'm off to photograph dog racing - what's not to like? with the added bonus of a cup of tea and bacon roll at the track!

    Reason to be Happy , been to watch Lincoln City FC today and have got promoted to League 1 ⚽️
    If that is 3 consecutive promotions I hope it doesn't over stretch the resources of the club.  Some years ago Cheltenham Town bounced up through a couple of divisions but couldn't hold on in League 1 after battling for a couple of years.  For several years after that they struggled in the lower reaches of League 2 before dropping out for 1 season.  Now back in League 2 but in the lower reaches.
    Tiny Forest Green are currently in the play off places but their highest attendance has been 3,500 and is probably about all the ground can hold.  They are likely to struggle with finances if they go up.

    That sounds a bit curmudgeonly for this thread 😆 🤭
