Just finished reading #workandplay by @daveproudlove.bsky.social, a really interesting and informative look at English football's roots in working-class communities - how things were, how they should be, and how they could be again. As Dave says, "It's not dark yet"...

Radical, my arse... Far from their worst idea, of course, but still pretty daft. It's *North* Staffordshire, and then the other bits.

What next, a flag on every lamppost?

Yep, fantastic news! As you say, let's hope the company gets the backing it needs from government, and also that everyone gets their jobs back.

Great, cheers Dave!

@daveproudlove.bsky.social Hi Dave - any idea whether Ant Bunn (ex-DUCK) is on here? Searched for him with no luck, so presume not, but just checking. Cheers!

@crystalpalacefc.bsky.social winning the @facupfinal.bsky.social on Saturday was the most joyous Cup Final I can remember for a long time - loved it. Nice to hear that @stokecityfc.bsky.social played a small part. (If only we'd managed a similar result in 2011...)

Beautiful!

As Twitter is no longer worth the bother I thought I'd move to Bluesky to communicate with my legions of disciples...

What's different about it? Anything? Less strident?
