It's things like this that make people not want to click links anymore.

So many ads you can't see anything then you try and back out and you're forwarded to another page filled with ads and a couple of stories.

The story is less than 100 words.

Respect your reader.

There is only one way to finish 2024. Squashing Bugs, spilling oil, and hunting Squids.

Sweet Liberty!

Modern online news is so engaging.

I'd rather shut down the site than have it like this.

Al least we are above Mansfield?

Tempting Google. But think I might stay on my current route.

I did not know that!

"This is unfamiliar territory for him"

You'd think he'd be used to it by now.

"Earth and human civilization as we once knew it are gone. Across untamed wilderness, giant mechanical beasts roam freely, while humanity struggles to rebuild from the dawn of a new primitive era."

Such a good idea no idea why they haven't made a game like this before 😅

I can't find them over here, but Doncaster City are giving away free kits on the 30th of November at their stadium to kids aged between 4-12.

Shirt, shorts and socks!

In a time when PL kits can cost over £100 this is a fantastic gesture.

Great touch from Rochdale, too.

Good to see so many clubs doing the right thing for their communities

Looks like five defeats for Pep and Man City on the bounce.

But hey! A new contract.

Someone just sent me this.

Well done to Salford City. Credit where credit is due that is a brilliant gesture to the Bromley fans.

At least there are a lot of goals for @leagueonelowdown.thedeck.news to talk about on this week's pod.

It brings me absolutely no pleasure to say this but...

Steve Evans must seriously be in trouble now if Crawley beat Rotherham.

(Ok the first bit was a lie)

19% possession

Leading 3-1 against a side that spent £15million+ on a single player.

Welcome back Gareth Ainsworth

I can't believe this is still going. 😅

Bet they had great fun making it though.

The League Two relegation battle looks really tight this year.

Carlisle and ColU surprised me.

Swindon has been a gradual decline, a spell in the NL might actually be good in the long term

Morecambe have been fighting the tide for a long time with their issues.

Massive winter window ahead.
