    Must be just me but I quite like Hastings. I only ever go there for events at the White Rock theatre but we always get there early and have a wander along the front and explore a few streets. We like the architecture and quirky shops. But delighted with Eastbourne Town's win. The town now has 3...

    I remember once driving to Chesterfield for a game and getting a puncture halfway up. By the time we got to the ground it was half time and the turnstiles had shut. We couldn't get in, so after a quick look at the famous crooked spire we turned round and drove all the way back.

    Check the video again at about 1:20. I honestly don't know if I'm being wound up here or not but I've watched this clip a few times now and there's definitely no funny business going on. The lips sync perfectly and there's no change in the voice! If I'm being whooshed then fair enough. But the...

    No, I didn’t. Are you certain? I first heard about the mention on the Football Cliches podcast, and did some investigation. I’ve not seen this allegation anywhere else. I’ll have to dig deeper.

    I so love the idea that West Didsbury has become hipster central. My guffawing over this will mean nothing at all to anyone who didn’t know what it was like there 40 years ago. Most people, I'm safely guessing.

    I lived in the area for 4 or 5 years back in the 80s without realising there was a local club. Bizarrely, I first heard of their existence on Coronation Street recently when Steve McDonald mused that he was thinking of switching his allegiance to them. I presumed it was a made-up club, some sort...

    I’d love to have gone but I’ll be at West Didsbury & Chorlton vs Irlam in the North West Counties Football League. I’m stopping over specially after Liverpool to catch the game on Monday afternoon.

    I was at Eastbourne Town for the 'absorbing' goalless draw with Shoreham on Saturday. A chance missed for Town to put a bit more pressure on Steyning at the top of the table though they’re still in 6th place, only 6 points behind. First visit to Saffrons and quite enjoyed it despite the lack of...

    Fair comment. I should, and will, spread my ticket money around. But hard not to become interested in the possibility of EBFC moving into the National League and even, gulp, beyond. But counting chickens and all that. Numerous clubs at all levels have announced exciting new futures before...

    Interesting stuff at Eastbourne Borough, my nearest 'big' non-EFL club. I plan to watch them when I can i.e. when Albion aren’t at home.
