Forgotten to post in the last few weeks. Some photos from my trips to watch Southend United ladies (Garon park) & a very enjoyable trip to see Clapton Community FC at the old spotted dog ground. Amazing welcoming club, brilliant ground for the 10th tier!

First game of 2025/26 season yesterday. Pre season friendly between Maldon & Tiptree (8th Tier) and Colchester United (4th tier) at Park Drive. Lots of change since I last visited, before the recent takeover, not convinced by all the changes feels like the club has lost its culture #groundhopping

Amazing game today at Billericay Town who won 4-2 against Chushunt in the isthmian league premier. Although it was not enough due to Horsham winning their game 5-1 Billiericay missed out on the title (and automatic promotion) by goal different (one goal!!). #groundhopping #groundhopper #nonleague

Being an ally it makes me feel very uneasy as surely human rights for ALL people comes above anything. But then as an atheist am I not respecting other’s religious beliefs? Even if they discriminate again others.. idk

Am I correct too? In theory do Saudi have the same right to host as USA, so why does it feel different
16.12.2024 10:36 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0What are the ethical concerns with the Saudi World Cup? Of course the issues for safety of LGBTQ supporters or is there more? I can’t quite decide if I have a right to be annoyed about them hosting it or weather I’m being an arrogant westerner. Seems to be slightly different from Qatar as (1/2)
