Some thoughts on the book that I'm grateful for, first from Sarah Keig of @fulhamlillies.bsky.social on her Passport and Pitches newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/passport...

Another story it was a privilege to share! Southend supporters have been through some challenges and they've rallied round the foodbank group through it all. Great credit to the local FSF group, the Shrimpers Trust and the club Community Foundation. www.football365.com/news/southen...

Southend United and a foodbank (mostly) in sync with the community

In Southend, we see football supporters and the local foodbank in complete sync from the start. Though there are always exceptions...

RIP Kevin Keegan. Sad news, a legend of the game and his first season at City is still some of the best football I’ve seen us play.

Extremely interesting read from Martha Newson on how football can change people's lives in prison marthanewson.substack.com/p/can-footba...

Everyday supporters (and people!) are brilliant, miraculous. I hope that comes across to readers! Because football supporters are a special breed and we should be proud of that

Recurring thought across all interviews was that the people running clubs (and leagues) have no idea what they're missing out on by sidelining supporters. Smart, committed, thoughtful, invaluable people who should be embraced by decision makers rather than shunned.

I spoke to supporters of clubs up and down the country and the leagues for my book. People who are dedicated, interesting and a credit to football. Was a pleasure giving them space to talk about the game and clubs they love. Buy it here: halcyonpublishing.co.uk/products/for...
