Whatever happens in the next few weeks, @FCUnitedMcr’s transformation from mid to lower table mediocrity to promotion contenders this season under Mark Beesley has been a joy to behold. Here’s some reflections on Saturday’s win against Bamber Bridge. nowtmuchtosay.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/squ…

Walking in the gents in the Pev and seeing this is brilliant btw 👌

Aldershot Town lost over half a million pounds in 24/25 when the club finished 16th in the National League. Losses underwritten by shareholders putting in fresh funds and loans. Common theme from financial results at National League and above is nearly all clubs making substantial losses. If this is a sustainable industry then I’m a pineapple and you can call me Percy.

@RedYorkshire1 @FCUnitedMcr Yeah, that day out at South Shields, just before the lockdown, was terrific.

@jonathanallsopp @FCUnitedMcr True, good point. We were on fire at the end though; got turned over at South Shields in that last game but we battled and gave them a game. It was a great day out!

@PaulSkillington @FCUnitedMcr @ilkestontown_fc Cheers Paul, we’re very much looking forward to it as well, should be a great day.

@jonathanallsopp @FCUnitedMcr Looking forward to welcoming you boys to @ilkestontown_fc for our last game of the season. Always bring the numbers and the noise.😁

@RedYorkshire1 @FCUnitedMcr Yeah, that stat surprised me as we were a really good side that season. Possibly the difference is the slow start in 19-20, whereas we were at it from day one this season.

@jonathanallsopp @FCUnitedMcr Interesting to note that we have more points now than we had when the season was abandoned in 2020, we were second and looking great then. Beesley has done a remarkable job.

@jonathanallsopp @FCUnitedMcr The change is remarkable.... Went into nearly every game last season thinking we were going to get outplayed and lose. Unbelievable what he's done, and the fact that we've gained points late on in so many games is a testament to the lads attitude and work rate. Up the reds

@Red19902431 @FCUnitedMcr Absolutely, the work rate has been fantastic throughout this season.

Radcliffe FC, in the sixth tier of English football in National League North, lost £807k last year, that’s £15,500 a week. It was £674k the previous season. Club is trading due to increased borrowings as long term debt exceeds £2.1m

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve_news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses. Hugely important by @CharlieNotOld

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by US analytics software company Palantir. A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email bmj.com/content/392/bm…

90 minutes of exciting football…and so much more! Great local food and drink options, live music, and a warm welcome It’s another big afternoon at Broadhurst Park this Saturday as we host Bamber Bridge in a 3pm kick-off. Doors open at 1pm Be a part of it #WeAreStrongerUnited

The more ridiculous the costs get, the higher the pressure to get greedy investors on board to finance it. The more the pressure for hospitality and premium seating to provide a return. The more Utd moves away from its core mission as a social institution. The less the point

A briefing by @Medact - endorsed by @GoodLawProject Privacy International @JustTreatment @CorpWatchUK @UTAW_uk & @AmnestyUK - has been sent to all NHS trust and ICB CEOs urging them NOT TO COMPLY with instructions to adopt Palantir’s Federated Data Platform.

NEW: NHS England is being called on to cancel its contract with US spytech firm Palantir due to ‘serious risks’ to the NHS - including irreparable reputational damage and the permanent undermining of public trust.
