Yep, and the Bovril lasts all game in the rain.
As well as top end prem football, I go deeper, down and dirty for my proper football fix now and again.
Liverpool business houses prem, hangovers, pitbulls on the line (as well as on the pitch), no-one running the line. Proper!

Yep, and putting goal nets up and down, collecting the subs, and trying to get the right first name of the "ringers".

I'll leave it like this, as I have zero interest in having a debate in this.What rubbish! Do you have memory problems were you forget what you post?
ie:
You wrote - “Because most people don't care that much about lower league teams. Even if they support a lower league team themselves, they'll not care that much about other lower league teams generally.”
And have just said: “At no point did I ever accuse people of not caring about lower league clubs”
Oops
Then you finished with: “Because it is clear we do not care enough to discuss them in forums.”
Nobody is prevented from posting about a lower league team if they wish, whether they support them or not and as lower league teams are not mentioned much on the forum you translate that and make an assumption that no one on here cares!
Oops…again
You do what the press do, and twist the context of what I said. You are even trying to highlight snippets to make it look like you have a point.
Try highlighting the bit "even if they support a lower league team themselves" instead of isolating the words "don't care". As I said, I never accused fans of not supporting or caring lower league clubs period. I DID say that are less likely to care about other lower league sides though.
I'm sure many of my mates here would love to see the BBC print loads of stories about Lincoln City. But, I'm sure they'd also recognise most of the rest of the country would have little or no interest. So it's no surprise Lincoln City stories are often non existent in the BBC footy headings, unless you go to the local section.
That is all. No accusations, no wishing to get into an argument, just my view and response to someone else's question.

Implications of this could see Chester FC going out of business.
English postcode, English Football Club, Ticket office in England, Part of ground in Wales as border runs through car park and East Stand. Just ridiculous

From the article;
"As the enforcing authorities Flintshire County Council and North Wales Police are dealing with the matter."
Despite the geographic conundrum, matchday policing at the Deva Stadium is carried out by Cheshire Constabulary.
These 2 paragraphs sum up just how ridiculous the situation has become. I'd like to comment further but that would probably delve into the realm of political comment...

So if Google is correct, the ground is entirely in Wales, but it appears the only access is from England. I'd like to think that this concern is entirely Covid driven, but I find it hard to believe.

It was this bit from Sky News that got me:
“Chester is an English city, but the border with Wales runs through the centre of it - including across the club's Deva Stadium, leaving the ticket office in England and the pitch in Wales.
By law, all the fans could meet in the car park and the club would not be breaking any rules, but as soon as they step foot in the ground, they are governed by Welsh law.
Chairman Andy Morris told the PA news agency: "As a club, we rely on gate receipts. If the enforcement is we have to play behind closed doors, we are not a Welsh club, so we are not entitled to the financial support.
"The entire future of the club could be in doubt. There is no financial support for English clubs playing behind closed doors at the moment. It could be the end of the club."
Mr Morris said: "While acknowledging the border runs through the stadium, the club, for 30 years, has been treated as English with the registered address in England."
As you say, it is more likely Political than we could discuss.

Is anyone expecting any shocks in the FA Cup?
I can see Hull getting at least a draw at home to Everton and the same for Swansea v Southampton. Other than those two I can't see where the upsets might come from.

one off games no replays with sides missing players (covid/afcon) in awful conditions, theres as good a chance as poss for upsets youd think, not that many fixtures look great for an upset though, lets hope theres a few. I guess burnley huddersfield and millwall palace possibles
Borehamwood to do a Wimbledon and knock out AFC Wimbledon?

Hi this is the Welsh police we have crossed over to England to go through the gates in England to access the stands in Wales ( appreciate this won't be what happens) but how utterly stupid
Close your gates ...but their English gates ... Their allowed to open ..
Surely either allow them to open or finically support them..
