I went to Fulham, a football club that wants to grow and build their revenue. They really need to find a way of doing it that doesn't alienate matchgoing supporters and puts to an end this low-level civil war inews.co.uk/sport/footba...
Fulham's civil war is tarnishing everything this magnificent club once cherished
For the past five years the hunt for suits and suitors has alienated the people who matter most at Craven Cottage - the fans who stood by the club in its darkest days

It was a night so hot even the DJ booth caught fire. Last home game of the season for the aptly named Brisbane Heat. #BBL

Are giant cardboard sports heads an Australian thing? I am fascinated by them, and I have so many questions: How did it start? Who was first motivated by seeing a massive version of their own head in the crowd? Where do people get them printed? *These are not giant, but they are pretty significant

Giant Cardboard Heads: An occasional series Australia v Brazil - Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
Running a nationwide league in a country the size of Australia, especially one as cash-strapped as the A-League, must result in immense pressure to get games played when scheduled. But it was pretty clear at 5 p.m. that #BRIvCCM couldn't be played safely.
Incredible scenes at Perry Park for the game between @brisbaneroar.bsky.social women and Central Coast after today's rain. Support staff have been sweeping and scooping water from the surface since 4pm. Original 5pm KO now delayed until 7pm! #aleaguewomen
Not sure it has been mentioned today, but it is raining in Brisbane
