@TicketmasterCS - Been trying to get my tickets for months for Wilderness 2025. I have paid, I have a valid order number, helpdesk keep telling me they will email me and nothing happens. Event opens in 2.5 hours. @LiveNationUK @AudiUK

@TomTheProducer1 @fesshole Defiantly

@fesshole She should be more pacific about what she means.

My wife says I'm "condescending", but she pronounces it "condense-sending". I can't correct her because that would be condescending, you see. It's killing me.

@chrisradar @NPUAhockey Well done Radar. People disagreeing with you at an even higher level.

This week after 8 years of umpiring, I was promoted to the National Prem panel, gaining my National Badge. Thank you @NPUAhockey

@LottiePorter1 I would also suggest that 2nd XIs have some form of requirement to have a certain proportion of U21 players to ensure younger players get opportunities.

Controversial question but in EH Div 1 South you could finish as low as 3rd & be promoted. This year a team finishing 2nd is promoted. Durham finish 2nd in Div 1 North & don’t go up because there are 10 teams eligible for promotion. Should there be some sort of 2nd v 2nd playoff?

@LisaWil17225435 so I am deep into that journey these days and feel Graham all around me as I imagine him navigating the hockey family with your two. Much love. X

Delighted to present the Graham Wilson award for outstanding hockey journalism to Rod Gilmour. Well deserved. @HockeyWriters1 @TheHockeyPaper

@LisaWil17225435 Lovely to catch sight of you Mrs Wizlon. Strange how the world works - mine and Rod’s daughters are friends and Rod and I went to school as nippers. I think of you both lots - hockey was never a thing for my footballing boys but my little girl (14) loves her hockey

@_rodgilmour Well done buddy. You carry the torch that Wizz lit with passion and dedication. Lovely to see Lisa looking so well. Was only thinking of them all this week when I stumbled across and Old Loughts game in London.

It's thanks to Graham that The Hockey Paper exists, so this was special. Hockey has a great story to tell, on and off the pitch, and it's been great fun so far charting GB and the global journey.

@ianhf @SWilliamsCoach Hilariously, a box is not mandatory in cricket. Not an omission I would choose to test 😂

@SWilliamsCoach Given that neither gum shield or shin pads are "mandatory" in the rules I'd struggle with gloves being... They all should be but that's a different tale...

Are left hand gloves mandatory at all levels of hockey? If so, are you able to share a link of where I can read up on this please? The only guidance I can find relates to England Age Group hockey, where it has recently become mandatory

@SeanR1974 @EnglandHockey I know. What are the chances. Makes the match reporting tricky!

𝐒𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓📢 Meet the England U18 Boys and Girls squads for the EuroHockey U18 Youth Championships, scheduled to take place from 8-16 July 2023 in Germany. Full story📝 eng.hockey/3raNu77

@Kate_Bod Still trucking on. Slipping into a midlife crisis gracefully, aided and abetted by my now-adult sons. It’s not all bad.

@gingerboy Good to hear and great to hear from you! All good here and hope you are too.

Am I the only person who has never seen a single episode of #Succession?

@_oneill_13 Hockey is also a fairly middle-class sport. Notwithstanding the whole “jolly hockey sticks” cliche, club memberships can be expensive, equipment and facilities equally so. You can’t just go down the park and play hockey.

@_oneill_13 For juniors, school sport is FAR more meritocratic than club sport which I guess is why the strongest players end up in that system which is inherently more competitive (generally). Schools actively recruit players as well and do not particularly seek out those who can pay.

Our U18 Age Group squads for 2022 have been announced 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Congratulations to everyone selected 👏 🔗 eng.hockey/3giDqjJ

@hockeyhickeyho1 Also, it’s elite sport. Inclusivity, diversity - all pretty much irrelevant. It’s about being the best first and foremost.

@EnglandHockey Could you tell me how many of the 23 girls in the U18s squad attend non-fee paying schools? 1 from 23?? #inclusive

@hockeyhickeyho1 It’s a fair question, but private schools play a lot more sport. I would wager that 90% are on some form of scholarship as well. If you are good at sport you would naturally gravitate towards the private system because you get more opportunity to play sport.

@millfieldfoot hi - can you tell me if tomorrow’s match v @ArdinglyFC is going to be live streamed 🤞#longwayfromsussex

@nealesj @alexa99 Yep. She’s having trouble understanding. More human than ever.

Anyone having trouble with #Alexa this morning? Is @alexa99 down?

@JodieB105 I have a friend who worked on this - they are microwave laser execution devices. Anyone who comes into Tesco with a loyalty card from another supermarket will be instantly vaporised. Don’t accept loyalty cards, shop locally. Do your research. Wake up!

Just been in Tesco, they've had weird black metal gates put inside the entrance, you have to pass through them to enter the shop. There are cameras pointing down, obviously recording everyone coming in. I wonder why they've been put there? 👀
