Family-friendly isn’t an identity. Being too afraid to alienate anyone that you fail to connect meaningfully w anyone won’t grow attendances. Piece w Aston Villa’s Maggie Murphy on growing attendances + club identity in age of impatience. @theathleticfc.bsky.social

Women’s football clubs must go beyond ‘family friendly’ – ‘Figuring out our identity is crucial’
The challenges of growing regular matchgoers are common across the WSL — but Villa's managing director has a distinct plan for the club

Finished this and it is *this* close to perfection. It might be picky as it can only be a whistle stop history, but as the World Cups come closer to the present day it really does fly past the football. Croatia being finalists was incredible, the 2022 groups were insane, and they’re barely mentioned

Told a young fella, last night, that football boot laces used to be so long that we had to wrap them round our boots at least twice before tying them. He was convinced I was taking the piss

One guy in the curry house having a looong conversation with his girlfriend on speaker, another singing along to Nothing Compares To You despite the fact that he doesn’t seem to know the words, and there you are tortured by your very existence, and all the stuff you’ve said and done.

If you followed Welcome to Wrexham you may have seen this place and that it was struggling. Sadly it can’t continue, and will be a huge loss locally. Our family will always be grateful for what they did for us, and it’s going to create a hole in a community where things can be tough as it is #wxmafc

Bound to be some shrieking at this. It's worth noting that Welsh football success was more built on a couple of Wales' best ever players & managers who built a positive culture to get the best from the rest, and CCS hasn't dragged a result out of the team every time. It would be fine.

100% the kind of guy who would have been an imperial chief of police in Burma if he’d been around a century ago, who would have had servants beaten for any kind of perceived slacking off, with a racism that only moved from explicit to thinly veiled when it was time to take a native mistress to bed.

Re: earlier scepticism about the allegedly transformed Wrexham, here's a message from the real world, where the council is skint unless they either lash you for more money, or take a scythe to essential services. You've got to be wary of believing a story that tells you something else.
A provisional 4.9% increase in Council Tax for Wrexham residents next year has been approved by councillors.

So much to say about this. On a matchday you see it. Otherwise...why doesn't it feel true?

The irony is people like him are such slaves to the market, the market will dictate that home working never goes away because a) it’s perfectly fine & b) people who “hustle”, another thing they love, will ask for it & get it because they will go to work for whoever offers it. Tough shit Nigel.

If you think Donnie T's half time show rant was something, you should have been on Twitter when Rihanna and Drake did Work at the Brits - it was quite the parade of middle aged dads all saying "what the hell is this?" and asking why they don't make proper music anymore.

Ok, so it sort of just happened without being intrusive. But then they do at the start don’t they? Then one day there will be more time with adverts than without and you’ll wonder at what point the balance tipped #fravire
The time refs take to trot over to a touch judge, have a leisurely chat, before signalling for an interminable TMO delay these days, they may as well also have the ref turn to the camera to say "while you've been waiting for this decision, you could have joined the 10m people banking with Revolut".
