Sun going down on hols. Good times. Back to it tomorrow and ready for another season. Delighted for the staff and players at Wanderers it was a winning start on Saturday. Perhaps they should pay me to stay away more often……..

Magic of the FA Cup!

Great to see this place so full again. Pity we didn’t get all three points but I’m sure there’s plenty to look forward to.

Not many I’ve not been to over the years but this was a first. Nice people and thankfully turned out to be a good night.

Great win for the Blues and delighted for Charlie to get his first senior goals. Hopefully start of a big week.

A bit of all sorts this week with a first visit to Crawley Town and a top effort from the lads to end it on a high. Nice to be home though!

Better late than never but had to give a mention. Fantastic crowd for the level and good to be there. Good luck tomorrow night chaps.

It’ll be fine……

Good luck with whatever’s next Simon. Another voice of the NE sadly no longer in the Press box. Glad you got the send-off you deserved.

🖤🤍

Not a totally bad day. 💯 park runs completed for me and Katy Bowmer never gets any easier but lovely thing to share.

Good luck to all those playing, watching and reporting on the new Rothesay County Championship season. Always the perfect backdrop to summer 🏏

That’s my girl Katy Bowmer first marathon in 4 hours, 13 mins #prouddad

Well done everyone. Delighted for all. A smashing group.

And then there were two! Our B Team caps off a great day 👏🏻

Made the retained list but taking on a different role from this week. Will be full on when I’m in but reducing some hours and responsibilities. After 35 years in the press box time to have some Saturdays off. Thanks to all who’ve been part of it so far.

Not a bad spot to watch a bit of pre-season Hurst Green FC ⚫️⚪️🦅 and to see some old faces in the Nelson FC dug-out. Good luck for the season both.

So good to be back here. Great memories and still special.

Love this place Ripon Races

Not a bad night for it. C’mon the Blues!
