Commentator thoughts 🎙️ @NeilKellyn after #ColU beat Cheltenham Town 4-1 on the final day of the League Two season. More reaction to come until 6pm on @BBCEssex.

La TV inglesa subió el video de los últimos 13 minutos del Rochdale-York por el ascenso a Cuarta División. El Rochdale lo ganaba al '96, hubo invasión de cancha celebrando el ascenso y se lo empataron al '110 y ascendió el York. Disfruten.

Such a pleasure catching up with Micah Mbick who was sensational for @ColU_Official when on loan from @CAFCofficial a real pity that he suffered that injury, he was genuinely missed, he is incidental a very fine young man too @BBCEssexSport

That’s as angry as I have seen Danny Cowley on @BBCEssexSport speaking after the shock late defeat to relegation threatened @HarrogateTown disappointed with the players and saying his sides don’t lose games like that!

BREAKING: John Terry splashes millions on League Two club Colchester #ColU thesun.co.uk/sport/38798437/…

Happy Birthday to Owura Edwards, an integral part of an emphatic win for @ColU_Official with goals from Arthur Read, Will Goodwin and Harry Anderson, @Official_STFC hampered by the sending off of James Ball, but #colu were better side before the red card hitting the post twice

12 goals this season for Jack Payne including the winner for @ColU_Official against @TranmereRovers and afterwards on @BBCEssexSport confirming that he is loving his time with #colu, that he wants to stay at the club, his very words, “long may it continue”

Commentator thoughts 🎙️ @NeilKellyn reacts to #ColU's late victory over Tranmere Rovers.

Beautiful thing about the pyramid structure with promotion and relegation is even clubs like @TranmereRovers have to fight for their lives to preserve their #efl status despite their fine stadium and large fan base, at least @ColU_Official don’t have those worries @BBCEssexSport

OH MY WORD DISASI EQUALISES FOR WEST HAM IN THE 96TH MINUTE🤯🤯🤯 THEY HAVE SCORED 2 GOALS IN 3 MINUTES TO KEEP THEIR FA CUP HOPES ALIVE😍😍😍

Building 13AM | Week 1 Today is my first day working full-time on @13amStudio For the past couple of years, I’ve been building this alongside full-time roles, most recently as Head of Content at Colchester United, juggling early mornings, late nights and every spare minute to keep things moving. Now it has my full attention. Over the past couple of years, 13AM has grown into a global creative community of over 300 artists across the world. The ambition now is to become the first creative movement in history to unite artists from every single country on Earth. We’re currently at 146/195. The next target is 182 by the beginning of June. From there, the plan is to travel to the final 13 countries to complete the project in person. That’s where things get real. And to make that happen, one of the immediate priorities is securing sponsorship and partners who want to be part of something genuinely global, positive and inclusive in an increasingly divided world. At the same time, I’ll be ramping things up across content. More video, more storytelling, and a much bigger focus on documenting the journey. Daily short-form content, with weekly long-form YouTube videos starting very soon. My aim is to build 13AM into a global brand and creative movement, documenting the entire process along the way. The reality is, this will be the most challenging project I’ve ever attempted. The odds are stacked against us in more ways than one. But I believe in what we’re building. Over the next year, it’s all or nothing. I’ll be documenting everything here as it unfolds. 36 countries to go. Then the final 13! #13AM #Project195 #Art #Creative #Inspiration #Community #StartUp

I know it’s going to be tough for @ColU_Official against @bromleyfc who are top of League Two and unbeaten at Hayes Lane all season but don’t forget that #colu have some very good players including Arthur Read and Jack Payne and may have some additional good team news

Tom Smith speaking on @BBCEssexSport at half time in the game between @ColU_Official and @crawleytown saying he should be back in training on 1st July from what was a very serious injury leaving #colu with limited cover for the excellent Matt Macey, such a bright young man
