Well I've done quite a bit of walking today in an effort to acquire the new Bev Town away shirt.
Walked right across the town once to pick up my order, then home. Tried the shirt on, even a 3XL was too tight, and they hadnt printed a number on it like id asked, so called them up to ask if I could exchange it, yep no problem.
So off I went to the other side of town again, asked to try a 5XL, didn't have any of those so tried the 4XL which was loose enough, still not amazing but it did the job. They then ask if they had printed a number on the other one, I said no even though they'd rung me up to ask if I wanted one, so they printed the number on while I was waiting and off I went home again.
A grand total of 2 hours of walking to get the shirt which they had messed up in the first place and when I was there the second time, I mentioned that stuff I'd had from them before had been tight sizings to which they replied, "yeah we're aware of that". So why don't you tell people?!
Anyhow, after all that I have got the 2025-26 Beverley Town away shirt with a number on the back!

A picture of the Billy Boston statue in Wigan popped up on my facebook feed and it got me wondering what else there was around the world that references our sport.
An example here in Hull is the main road into the city is called the Clive Sullivan Way.
What else is there around the world?

Incredible performance from the Beavers this evening with them drawing 1-1 with Scarborough, who play 3 divisions above Beverley. Our defence was brilliant and we were definitely the better side in the second half. Things are looking very positive during this preseason. We've got an exciting season ahead!

Mrs. Goose just said to me, "you weren't even listening were you?!"
I thought to myself, "that's a pretty strange way to start off a conversation..."

I was just telling Mrs. Goose about how I saw a wolf on the way to work this morning.
She asked where, and I said no, the regular kind.

I forgot about this thread, been posting on the other football one.
Well, Bev Town have won their first two pre-season games, even beating Bridlington Town which was a real surprise.
We're hosting Scarborough at our place on Tuesday night which will be our last pre-season game at home before the start of the regular season. Should be a good crowd in for what will be a good test against a team 3 divisions above us.
Things are looking very positive!

I’m apparently being given a club tracksuit in my role as camera pointer at Hastings.
FKW here I come.
I had to buy mine for Beverley. One of the big positives of supporting a 9th division team though, the merchandise cheap. £30 for the tracksuit, £25 for the new away shirt.

For about an hour, I was just reading some hilarious comments on Facebook, relating to an article about how much more modern and massive Europe's passenger rail network is to America's.
It never ceases to amaze me just how brainwashed and deluded Americans are! The amount of comment that went on about Europe being so much smaller (it's bigger than America) with some people even saying Europe is about the size of Texas!
To counter that, Europeans pointed out that China is roughly the same size as the US and has a railway network 100× larger than the US, a good portion of which is high-speed.
Almost every American on there saying but they have freedom and the freedom to drive, Europeans then of course countering that by simply pointing out that we have cars as well and invented them.
Then Americans saying that they have planes to fly everywhere which is so much quicker, instead of being cramped in a tin can with 100 stinking strangers. Europeans then countering that with, that is exactly what an airplane is and that because trains go city centre to city centre, they are in fact faster than planes a lot of the time and have more amenities, comforts and space.
Many Americans even resorted to the deluded notion that they paid for our rail network and pay to keep our countries going and have to defend our countries and that we should spend money on defence not public transport.
One American even attempted to argue that America has far less crime than Europe, to which a European just posted some stats which prove that to be incorrect!
It's almost frightening just how brainwashed Americans have been by their government, and the manipulated education system that government controls, over the decades.

Bilbao's stadium is one of my favourites. Didn't realise it was a reconstruction. They did an unbelievable job with it.
As for Villareal, I can only imagine what it must be like living in that neighbourhood. Reminds me of when Delboy and Rodney used the yellow paint for the restaurant renovation on their mother's tombstone, consequently rediverting air traffic.
The positive with that though is they won't need floodlights for the evening matches so their energy bills will be lower.
There's loads of great articles about stadiums on that site, I follow them on Facebook.

Fun fact: the reason the plural of Goose is geese but Moose is not meese is because Goose derived from an ancient Germanic word undergoing strong declension in the pattern of foot/feet or tooth/teeth where we see oo mutated to ee.
However, Moose is a Native American word added to the English lexicon only around 400 years ago and so hasn't had the time to be mutated in the same way. This means that in another few centuries the plural of Moose could well become Meese.

Union, 3-0 Oz, hopefully.
Us, 3-0 England, hopefully.
Cricket, 3-2 England, but don't really mind.

I've been looking for something new to watch. I'm looking for something lighthearted. I've seen My Mad Fat Diary called a comedy-drama, is that worth a watch?

Was coming on here to post this myself. Didn't realise he was 67 but when you think about it, its over 30 years since he was in Tarantino's first films. Always enjoyed watching him. Real shame.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned on a different thread but if not, 2600 safe standing places have been created in the north-east corner of the MKM Stadium, to be used by both home and away fans.

I have just been talking to a teenager waiting at the bus stop outside my work that has never been on a bus before... that is the world we live in now; there are people that have never been on a bus.

Assuming you're not a stadium enthusiast, you may not know the Hong Kong Stadium is no longer the premier sporting venue in the city. Perhaps you do know, and you just really like the HKS, but if you don't let me introduce you to Kai Tak Stadium, the city's brand new 50,000-seat stadium. It's a beauty.
I chose the Hong Kong Stadium because it is in the foothills of the mountains on Hong Kong Island and so has a nicer setting than next to a port like the new stadium.
My choice's location also means that after taking in the game in the afternoon, i can do the specific lifetime bucket list task that I want to do more than anything in the world which is walk to the top of Victoria Peak and look out over Kowloon Bay in the evening to take in the hundreds of lit up tower blocks and skyscrapers, and all the boats in Kowloon Bay and the general hustle and bustle of one of the great world cities as the sun sets over all of that.

I've seen 3 different people in 3 different England shirts this morning, in the half hour I was sat in Hull Interchange waiting for my bus. Is there an international on at the MKM that I don't know about?
Just walked into my work and a guy was coming out in a GB shirt! Whats going on with all these international shirts?!

This seems very premature and not really relevant. Until we hear anything to the contrary this sounds like a tragic accident that nobody could've foreseen.
If you read the live updates on BBC says it says that the Spanish Guardia have announced, the tyre blew on his lamborgini while overtaking another car, which caused him to lose control, crash and burst into flames. His brother was also killed. It happened in Zamora.
Edit. In fact, just read what @Damien has posted above.

A much better performance from England. I don't think you could have two more contrasting performances than these first two England games.
