Ben - Cans on the Train

I’ll get there eventually.

We do alright considering neither of us drive.

A couple of them would have tested us. But I’m confident we’d have managed it.

I’ve not been to Clapton since they returned to the Old Spotted Dog, so I’m eager to get there.

Restricted View - Leyton Orient Vs Lincoln City - League One - 25.10.25 I found myself craving a bigger match, a ground with an atmosphere. I always feel the perfect sized ground is between League One and the hig...

New Blogpost

Last weekend Fraser unknowingly chose our destination.

Pie & Mash, Miniature Railways, and a rare game of professional football with a restricted view.

Blog below.

Didn’t spot that I’d managed to book
a restricted view in the East Stand at Brisbane Road. It ended up making my day and framing pictures quite well.

East London was the destination yesterday. Traditional pie, mash and liquor was a must.

Might have to get on this.

Haven’t visited many new grounds so far this season.

Unbeknownst to him Fraser has picked next weekends destination.

Stay tuned to find out where we end up…

Two weeks in a row.

Same player
Same end
Same scenario.
Same minute!

Into the next round of the Vase we go.

#FAVase #NonLeague #Grassroots #Football

3-1 up at half-time against Aylestone Park, a team that usually score 5 + against us.

3-3 at 90 minutes, here we go again.

4-3 in the 92nd minute!

Football, bloody hell!

Pub perfection almost achieved.

Revisited an old favourite for the 4th time yesterday for a Welsh cup 1st round tie.

The rain had other ideas and after 55
minutes and a 4-1 away advantage for Denbigh the game will have to start at 0-0 again next weekend.

Porthmadog likely breathing a sigh of relief.

One of Wales’ greatest voices in one of Wales’ greatest places.

One of just 120 or so people to witness Gruff Rhys in a wonderful venue this evening.

Cans on the Train (@cansonthetrain) This weeks blog. A trip back to Leicester to visit G.N.G Oadby that started in an unsavory way but went on to show why diversity should be celebrated not marched against.

Write About Love is so often forgotten. One of my favourites

Sponsorship money well spent.

More samosas at football grounds, please.

Ground # 119 ✅
G.N.G Oadby

A perfect away day. 6 goals scored without reply, new pubs, a healthy dose of nostalgia from the two years I spent living in Leicester and a timely reminder that diversity should be championed, not marched against in the guise of a flag waving piss up.

Another fresh #FloodlightFriday this week.

I love a football club with their own brew.

Had a pint in there before the Conti cup final a few years ago.
Load of northern soul playing. Didn’t mind it one bit.

It’s not just fanzines this month, it’s a magazine too.

I wrote about our trip to Euro 2025 for this month’s Football Weekends Magazine, available in W.H Smith or T.G Jones if that’s what the kids are calling it now….

I’m so pleased with the charity you’ve chosen for this issue. 💚

Pleased to say I’ve got another bit of writing in this.

Genuinely one of the best fanzines in the country and the money always goes to a good cause. 💚

Good people doing good things.

Or outside the ground on Sat 6 Sept for the visit of Blyth Spartans.

Parks to Pitches has arrived.

It’s potentially a good few weeks of releases in terms of things I’ve been writing.

My mum’s purse is going to be lighter at the very least.

Real Bedford owner getting all cosy with Yaxley-Lennon.

I would say it’s nice to be vindicated in knowing who’s a fucking wrongun. But it’s genuinely terrifying how close to home all this hate and bile is and how unchallenged it’s going.

Let’s be fair to the United strike force they’ve got a Giant-Man in goal.
