92 things I learned by visiting all 92 football league clubs in one season From remarkable fans to terrible trains and an unrivalled pie, my odyssey to all four corners of this footballing nation has been an exhausting, exhilarating experience

Well worth a read. Daniel Storey gets it. You or I might get it slightly differently, but he does.

Where has the time gone? One of the best days. Excruciating for 99% of the game but worth it for that 1%.

Shut down the youth clubs.
Sell off the playing fields.
Put up "no ball games" signs.
Make public places hostile to teenagers.
Then:
"Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

The hidden recovery story at the heart of Leyton Orient's own resurgence Director of football Martin Ling took over a 'football bomb site' and it turned it into one of the EFL's best clubs to support - he speaks to Daniel Storey

I think that one of the best clubs in the country to support at the moment might be...Leyton Orient.

It's not just the redemption and the potential, but the human story here. For that, you need to speak to Martin Ling.
