London City Lionesses recorded an operating loss of £10.6m for last season, when they won the second tier. That loss was more than 10 times their revenue (£902k). Their parent company, owned by Michele Kang, has injected £22.4m into the club in the past two seasons. #BarclaysWSL

I’ve written about the Fife Flyers — who have reached rock bottom (of the table and off the ice). ✍️ @BritIceHockey britishicehockey.co.uk/post/opinion-f…

Championship football in Stratford, yikes.

@FootballManager It's lovely that the pre-match cinematic experience is new and hugely improved. But that's not why I play the franchise, and I doubt that's true of any of your players.

@FootballManager I've played thousands of hours of Football Manager. I'm up to six hours on FM26, playing on a high-quality laptop, having been really excited to start on the new edition. I'm yet to have fun. And it's not because the layout has changed... fundamentally inferior product.

@jdlsprc Hey — that’s fair, and why I’m not reaching out to people directly. If you’d like to talk, I’ve followed you back, which means you should be able to DM me. If this helps either way, you can read my work here: britishicehockey.co.uk/post/author/lu…

@LukeJames_32 Hi… I’m lowkey scared of journalists now ☺️

If you were featured in the FT’s article and would like to talk about it, let’s chat 👋

After the article’s headline was updated this afternoon, I asked the FT if it stood by its initial view (screenshot). “Yes.” — that’s the whole reply.

Ice Hockey UK would like to join the Elite League and place on record our disappointment at the portrayal of our female fanbase in the recent Financial Times article. 🔗 Read more ➡️ tinyurl.com/mryj7v96 Photo: James Assinder

“It’s extremely disappointing to see the piece that has appeared in the Financial Times today. The tone of the article is not just absurd in relation to ice hockey, but also to women who watch sport in general - something that shouldn’t even be a talking (cont.)

The Elite League would like to place on record our dismay and disappointment at the portrayal of our female fanbase in the recent Financial Times article. We’re very proud to have an incredibly diverse fanbase watching our great sport and they play a vibrant part in our incredible hockey community. Attendances across the Elite League continue to rise year on year and we are incredibly grateful for the enthusiastic and dedicated support our fans give every week across all four nations.

I wrote about the FT’s article… “It’s nonsense. And itself a fantasy, confusing correlation with causation.” ✍️ @BritIceHockey britishicehockey.co.uk/post/opinion-b…

Opinion — 🗣️ Female hockey fans have been branded “puck bunnies” for decades — the FT’s article only serves to reinforce this sexist, misongisntic, and harmful trope. britishicehockey.co.uk/post/opinion-b…

Absolute. Cinema. #F1 || #ItalianGP 🇮🇹
