  1. There’s another angle to this. In the UK, in particular, many gays and lesbians have disassociated themselves from Pride, Stonewall and the like, because they believe those organisations to now be homophonic, with a primary focus on transgender and surrogacy issues. That’s why the LGB Alliance was formed, whose logo is, incidentally plain black and white; their involvement is with sexual orientation only, and not matters of transgender, non-binary etc. And that’s not to mention many women’s groups who believe that transgender issues are a threat to women’s rights. Whatever, people’s views on this are, Pride is a political lobby group. As such, I don’t see why any of these players should have been stood down.
  2. Having known this place extremely well, this would have been my most accurate quote from the piece: "When I was younger, it was quite rough. It was all old man boozers that were a bit dodgy, there used to be fighting, and no eat-and-drink bars that you’ve got now." It's clearly gone up in the world from when a Manchester Evening News reporter referred to it (on a Sunday visit) as like something out of the Eastern Bloc.
  3. Maybe there is a trend. Last year, FC Isle of Man was launched and, whilst a programme was issued for the inaugural match against Guernsey FC, it was revealed that programmes would be digital for enviromental reasons. Unfortunately, the season never started because Covid-19 regulations effectively created a border between the IOM and the UK. This season, life has commenced for FC Isle of Man in the North West Counties League Division One, with programmes issued for each fixture at a reasonable £1.50. With crowds ranging from 1166 to 2112 so far, I am sure the economics stack up well. I didn't know ptogrammes were being issued until I saw a pubgoer browsing through a programme with an after-the-match pint. Very heartening, and one of the reasons a printed programme rules.
