It’s a tad windy here

It’s about time this is sorted. As someone who watches a lot of football between L1 and non league there is very little difference between L2 and the NL in terms of squad quality, playing style and off the field set up. Hopefully all parties will see sense.

Game 3 of 5 this week, Oldham v York. A work trip to Manchester coinciding with the game so it’d be rude not to.
A ‘proper’ ground, even if it is an arse to get to via public transport and has pillars everywhere.

All set for the train ride up to York @yfrontfanzine.bsky.social

Game 1 of 5 in the next 8 days. Tonight’s game is Col U U21 v Bournemouth U21, as you can see I’ve brought all my mates along to this one.

The 5 games should hopefully include a few York matches as it’ll be good to see us live after a couple of months of watching video.

After doing pre-match prep for a match tonight the game is off due to a frozen pitch, no great surprise for this time of year. So it's chance to watch a video of an U21s game from earlier in the week.

I'm only up to the end of episode 3 and have so far managed to avoid any spoilers. The minute I join Bluesky this happens, I knew I should have stuck with Twitter.

Delighted to get my hands on #50 of @yfrontfanzine.bsky.social Can't be many fanzines that make it to 50 and still manage to retain the enthusiasm and love that goes into this. #ycfc supporters still pretty light on Bluesky but if you see this, and haven't got one already, get yerself a copy ASAP!

Cheers Paul, will do!

So after finally thawing off from a seeing a live match last night it's time to sit in the warm and watch Forest Green Rovers v Dagenham & Redbridge tonight.

Having been a Scout for a while, I’m finally taking the plunge into the online world of football scouting. Expect thoughts on talent, matches, and maybe the occasional deep dive into what makes a player stand out on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. Recommendations on who to follow?
