Amongst all the #Rovers news and John Eustace leaving, I had my own say on 5 Live 606. Rovers have been let down by our owners time and time again.
Just to make things worse, I missed a golden opportunity for an earliest-ever #ForMySins too

It was interesting listening to Keratin Schaefer discuss the role of PhD students in research.
Those broad range of impacts resonated in a report I wrote with @CityREDI around the social and economic impacts of PhDs too #RSAWinter

Setting up @NonLeagueSoc was one of my overriding memories whilst as a #uni #student.
Turning a love for football into lifelong friends, new experiences, work experience, being part of a community in a new city.
We've got a story to share for any #JournoRequest out there?

Are you a football fan? And have you started University this year?
I want to tell you why I think embracing #NonLeague football is the perfect way to enhance your student experience…

Why am I telling you this?
Because I think the concept of a ‘Non-League Society’ would work at any university in the UK. In fact, I can prove it, because in 2016 I helped @HannesRead set up his own society in Newcastle.
They’re still going strong, too 👉🏼 @NonLeagueSoc
