@bowbrookshrew @LeominsterTown @HerefordshireFL @CSFC_Hereford Nice stand !

Friday night football and the end of a busy week concludes in Herefordshire to see @LeominsterTown lift the @HerefordshireFL Division 2 trophy. They rounded off a great season by thumping @CSFC_Hereford 7-3 in tonight’s final match. #Groundhopping

Pub Sign of the Week: Railway Hotel, Ringwood (1983) Not quite sure what Stephenson's Rocket is doing on the edge of the New Forest. Nice signage though so we'll forgive this bit of symbolism over accuracy! #PubSignThursday

@blacon_blue I've absolutely no recollection of that Quicks shirt. Agree. A lovely lemon yellow !

What a pair of beauties. That yellow shirt is lovely. Wow. I'd love one like that framed for my wall. Have the blue and white one from the year before. The David Glenn one is lovely too. Great memories of that one. Stuart Rimmer and Milton Graham in their pomp.

Flying Childers, Stanton-in-Peak, Derbyshire. Strong contender for "Pub of the Year 2026" (one I'd hitherto not visited before). Superb beer (Thornbridge, Bass), traditional and cosy. Virtually faultless. Will take something special to eclipse this.

@AndyJbirder A few days on Mull has cranked mine up eg both eagles, Corncrake, White-billed Diver and Puffins galore!

@JSilloth Yes indeed John, one of my favourite places. Your year list is going well. I'm on 172 which is better than usual at this stage and I've not been twitching scarce/rare birds for year ticks - beyond the local - but concentrating on seeing the regulars including beyond local!

Gronant Sun pm - fab seeing the Little Terns back. 30 together flying high and on rising tide many fishing close-up. 50+ mixed flock of Dunlin/Ringo and another 30+ Ringo. Also on marsh: Mute Swan pair with 6 cygnets, Sedge and Reed Warblers, Shoveler pair, Skylarks.

@Droylsden_FC Brilliant. Bloody hell that was nerve racking watching tweets from a bar in Bala!

Maghull Miss, Campbell SCORES Droylsden Are PROMOTED!!!

0xford City 1-2 @ChesterFC On the ropes a bit second half but, after some dogged defending, hung on for a vital win. Both goals here. Think our first just crossed the line!!!

@KevinWaddle6 @_summer_league @CPDNantglyn @CPDCaerwysFC Probably the most picturesque in the whole league (although I've not done Trefnant). Any Peacocks knocking around by the bridge?!

Thursday night football in one of my favourite countries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 watching one of my favourite leagues @_summer_league. A game that took me back to my early years of watching football in the mid 60's saw @CPDNantglyn and @CPDCaerwysFC draw 1 all in an entertaining full blooded match.👏

Pub Sign of the Week: Duke of Portland, Lach Dennis (2001) A fine depiction of snooty, detached superiority - the footman almost obscured by a heavy fug of cigar smoke. The pub, if we can call it that, is now the Cheshire Grill Country Pub & Steakhouse. #PubSignThursday

@AndyJbirder @CAWOSBirding Great to hear the summer bird songs once more. Looking forward to the rattle of the Lesser Whitethroat!

New on Weaver Valley patch this p.m. - Reed Warbler 2, Swallow 1. Other species incl Cetti's, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Greylag, Raven, Buzzard @CAWOSBirding

@HerefordFC Brilliant gesture.

@TonyIncenzo @NonLeagueCrowd @fcbusiness Chester v Fylde for our unexpected push for the play-offs.

SATURDAY 11th APRIL 2026 Which football match or matches are you going to this weekend? As usual, let's make this a massive list with your re-tweets & replies to publicise all games taking place @NonLeagueCrowd @fcbusiness

Pub Sign of the Week: Gate Inn, Osbaston, nr. Market Bosworth (2000) Oh to be pain free with no moment of doubt about vaulting a hurdle. And, if you fell over, your body would quickly forgive you. Nowadays, it requires military planning to negotiate a stile. #PubSignThursday

The pubs of Cartmel. Everyone gossiping about the other! Royal Oak my favourite for the Fell beers closely followed by the Priory. Not cheap. A wincing £3.15 for a half in the Cavendish.

@mblythe1069 @GBbooze Me too. I remember a particularly memorable pint at the Bunbury Arms at Stoak just outside Ellesmere Port. Used to slake my thirst after footy training!

@JSilloth @GBbooze Loved a good pint of Higgys. Done my initial brewing training in Higsons Brewery Liverpool 🍺🍺🍺

Pub Sign of the Week: Pipe & Gannex, Knowsley (1995) Former prime minister and ex-Huyton MP Harold Wilson was often seen with his pipe and raincoat - part of his public persona as a pragmatic man of the people. Should have had a pint in his left hand then! #PubSignThursday

@GBbooze @Spoons_App Even though they're the anti-Christ to us Chester fans, Wrexham's Elihu Yale is close.

Someone make one to the nearest #Spoons 🍻🤣 @Spoons_App

@bedworth_united Watched as a neutral. Definitely MoM!

Today’s man of the match was Samson Hewett chosen by guests all the way from Brighton! Thank you to Edward and David who have run Storers Explorers team for the last 29 years in Brighton
