Some of stories behing the items are amusing. He always told a good yarn.

Some collection that. He's going to make a pretty penny.

So higher attendances are shocking but lower attendances aren't?. Ok.

We're favourites for the Euro's.

You stated that attendances were shocking except for england.

Australia 2022 t20 WC had higher attendances than ours did. Pretty sure India (av. 22,000), sri lanka (av. 24,000) and even bangladesh (av. 19,000) would beat our average attendances too.

Saw Liam Gallagher in Sheffield. Opening night of the Definately Maybe tour....which was the only reason I went, only really like the first 2 oasis albums. It was a great night, you know its going to be good when the crowd are in full voice singing to the songs over the speakers before the gigs even started....even had a smoke flare set off. Songs like cigarettes and alcohol,, slide away, live forever amongst others were goosebump moments, the whole crowd singing along so loud...probably the loudest I've heard at a gig. And it was awesome to see everyone on their feet from the very start, even in the cheap seats..if they're were any. p.s. Just read a review in my paper, very rare they post reviews of gigs and this was a big review lauding over it, so glad i went now lol.

Yeah there's little to no hope, unless a new generation embraces it England will just sink further behind the rest of the world.

Loads of pyro in scotland, they just think about it before they use it.

Lets hope it doesnt rain.

Cant watch it I'll be at a concert, so no doubt it will be a great game.

There's a statue.

oops.

Red Bull Leeds United Leeds United: Red Bull takes minority stake in Championship club - BBC Sport

Good news they need to be more prominent, and well done to the club for allowing this.

And yet its over a decade since a 'smaller' team won it.

Things can only get....worse....if true. Keeping the big clubs apart. The Carabao Cup will use a new seeding system. What is the reason for the change? | Dailysports In the upcoming season, changes will be introduced to one of the English football tournaments, the Carabao Cup, particularly concerning the seeding of top clubs. According to The Telegraph, tournament organizers are compelled to adopt a new "seeding mechanism" to alleviate fixture congestion caused by the expanded format of the Champions League. Matches in the third round of the EFL Cup will now be spread over two weeks to further ease the tournament schedule. The unprecedented scheduling chaos expected in the next season has already prompted warnings to clubs that they may be required to field academy players in Carabao Cup matches. Additionally, the EFL is seeking compensation for its clubs following the decision by the Football Association and the Premier League to cancel all FA Cup replays. The organization stated that this decision is very upsetting and disappointing.

sometimes?

Well wimbledon may have little in terms of atmosphere but its beter than this. French Open: David Goffin claims chewing gum was spat at him in first-round win - BBC Sport
