Ok so you got no @heatonstan.bsky.social snaps recently. That’s because I was sur le spot for some stages of the Tour de France. And I have to say that football photographers have it easy compared to cycling snappers. Those folk really are hardcore. Here’s a thread of my not-utterly-shit ones
❌ Our home friendly against Basford United has been cancelled. Basford have indicated to us today that they are withdrawing from the agreed fixture as they cannot field a team. We will announce a replacement fixture in due course.
🎟️FREE ENTRY FRIDAY🎟️ Stan A’s final pre-season friendly of the summer is at home to North Sunderland this Friday… Entry to The Willow Park will be absolutely FREE - and we’d love as many people through the gates as we can!
Bit of a nightmare for me at @heatonstan.bsky.social's visit to Dunbar United. Didn't calibrate the lens properly, so loads of shots look like I was trying for an Athena poster soft focus look. Thankfully, a few were salvageable.
A few #OnTheWhistles from @heatonstan.bsky.social’s visit to Dunbar. Cyril Giraud (not Cedric) got a late equaliser from the penalty spot

Yeah, I know you're tired and you were up late last night, but keep awake for a few more moments to look at a thread of shots from @heatonstan.bsky.social earning a fine draw with @gatesheadfc.bsky.social. Here's Der Kaiser nutting in the Stan's goal
Well, if you were watching BBC1 at about 7.05pm today you’ll have seen this shady figure taking photos at Ashington v @heatonstan.bsky.social in April

i hope vozinha does some good with the nearly 20 million new followers he has gained. like maybe introduce them to obscure nineties dub techno 12"s and ask them to email the label and suggest they released a compilation on cd or digitally. really use that power to benefit mankind
We’re very excited to see new signing Mechack Kanda in a Stan shirt when the new season gets underway! Anyone who went to the Senior Cup final in May knows what a talent he is…
🎶The boys are back in town…🎶 Pre-season training got underway earlier today with the lads being put through their paces… @stansnaps.bsky.social went along to catch them in action…
