Off to Mechelen today on an away game, the first one we’re allowed to do by car and not by a mandatory bus

Up the greens

They were not my local growing up, but technically right now it’s Sheffield United… live less than 30 minute walk from Bramall Lane. Often go to see the women’s games there

Football across the city in a sad state. Women are doing okay in the Championship, but with the tragedy of Maddy Cusack passing away, and whatever on earth is going on with the manager being suspended, that’s a sad state of affairs too

Been to Sutjeska game against Jedinstvo, and Yanis Beghdadi looks really good. Really excited about him, one of the only bright spots about Sutjeska this season.

My local team died last weekend and I have an empty hole in my heart… I wish our SG was going on a bus up the freeway today to watch our boys play in the next round of the tournament… =(

My local Team Greifswalder FC is in first place in 4th division right now, unbeaten so far. Tomorrow theyll play against last years champion (the promotion from 4th to 3rd division is kind of weird in Germany). Im really excited to go. Ive been to two games this season and the vibes have been immaculate.

They are working on building a new stadium, and the current one likely doesnt meet prerequisites for 3rd division, so if they end up promoted they might have to play at 90 km away Rostock. But we will see, the recent developments are definitely exciting. Lots of former pros have been added the last two seasons

Went to see Bath City this week, 2£ as it was student night. Stadium is a shed, the bar was teenagers badly pouring cans into cups, weather was shit, and it was a blast. 3-0 win, two great goals and a funny keeper mistake. Brilliant evening out

This thread comes at the perfect time for me. Our next game is Botev away (our derby) and there will be no away fans, because the derby at our ground was on the first round and the stadium is under construction. The away stand wasn’t ready for the game. The solution was simple - switch the derbies. First round at their ground, second at ours. Our club refused. Fuck them for that. I haven’t been at an away derby since 2012, cause their stadium got demolished in 2013 and it took them a while to build the new one. Can’t fucking wait for next season’s derbies.

Was labouring a cold the whole week, but got persuaded to make the one hour away ride anyway because we lacked a CB, only for us to get thrashed 5-0. Well that was a waste of an evening.

Salford actually brought away fans. Fair play I thought they were fictional

Went and saw Latics go on and win our 3rd game in a row, out of relegation for the moment on goal difference. It’s a hard do to overcome a 8 point deduction, an overhauled squad whilst also reducing the wage budget by over 400%. Maloney has been the rock for this club since he came in.

Derby day on Thursday against cfr in the cup, already can’t wait

I’m from Queens, NY. We were supposed to have a soccer team called Queensboro FC and plans were approved for a new stadium for them. However, it got nixed because a rival plan - a new stadium in Queens for NYCFC (speaking of NYCFC, they were also shit this season but it was nice to see them play).

Shame. Queensboro FC would have played in USL but it’d be nice to expand soccer in the city.

I live in Baltimore now and sadly this city is heavily baseball and American football. DC United is the local team for me and the management is shit currently. Though I do enjoy going to Audi Field.

For my birthday I visited my grandparents who live in Sutton (also where I grew up) and went to my first Sutton game (at Gander Green Lane) since the 4-3 victory against Port Vale.

In a way it was a similar dynamic as our opponent Bradford were much better with the ball and could actually control the midfield, but also looked like they would shit themselves when experiencing actual serious pressure from the opposition. Ultimately, Sutton had the drive and luck to win the game in our stronger periods. I’m not surprised that Bradford were a side that recently sacked Mark Hughes considering how prone their defence was to pressure.

It was weirdly quiet from the Sutton fans - nothing like the games during the first season in League 2 - but I have missed the rustic lower league atmosphere. Hopefully I can make more games, particularly as Sutton might not be long for the world of EFL football

Love this, mods!

After 17 games, we stood dead last on 10 points with everyone writing us off. But after picking up 16 points in the following 10 games, we now find ourselves at one of the play off spots with 3 games remaining!

Our most recent game was against Jönköping Södra where we, for the first time since the opening game, pulled a respectable away following! We managed to fill our bus (fuck me, organising bus journeys for a bunch of drunk football fans, is fucking stressful!) and plenty of cars drove down as well meaning 80+ on the away stand. It’s still a shamefully low number, but for us, it’s a massive step in the right direction!

Tomorrow, we face Utsiktens BK at home in a game where sponsors and supporters pay for the entrance fee, meaning it’s free entry for the public. Should be a decent attendance despite the horrible weather. Utsikten were once top of the league by some margin but have had a horrendous second half of the season. Their top scorer also managed to get himself suspended in the last game because he went over to the away fans and started shouting abuse after the game was over!

On a personal level, it looks like I’ll finally be able to get my perfect season after missing out 2 years in a row by one single game. My old man is heading for his third consecutive perfect season! If we manage to keep our position, the first play off game will be his 100th competitive game in a row he sees in person, mad respect for that!

Will be at the Stevenage game today. Had a little downturn of form after a brilliant start so hopefully we pull off a bit of a surprise in this one against Derby. Never know!
