I've decided to have a social media cleanse for a while. I lost a close friend unexpectedly last week & I'm struggling to come to terms with that so this looks to be a good time to take a break and to sort my plans for next season & my head out.
Enjoy your summer all. 👍
New out this evening to finish off the month, clubs are getting hit from all angles on costs and extra travelling isn't going to help.

Once again not planning to do any pre-season games so my next game will be 25th July and could be my first long distance game. The decision about keeping the website or not will have been made by then! It's usually #FACup extra preliminary round first weekend in August isn't it?

@peter_matthews1 tells the story of #ReadingFC Women's 2025/26 - a 'what could have been?' season, but one with plenty of positives both on and off the pitch.

Saw something in my local mini Morrisons this morning that I really shouldn't have, Thatchers Vintage (8.3%) on the shelf at £7 for 3 bottles. The pub next door has Thatchers Haze in bottles at £6 a pop. Sadly pubs can't compete & one of the reasons many are closing.
Today's #forgotten80s track thrown up by my early morning walk playlist this morning is this little beauty from Honeymoon Suite featuring the legendary Ian Anderson on flute. A cracking tune. #80s#80smusicyoutu.be/3X2bKc-MhkI?si=gbSb…
Devasted to say the dreaded ACL got me❤️🩹From league Champ to injured in the blink of an eye. Road to surgery recovery begins. The comeback will be stronger, I promise that. Asking for help is never easy but any/all support is appreciated beyond words 💙gofund.me/7a93c7ce8

In the film Idiocracy it took 500 years for humans to be more stupid but it looks like it is definitely gaining pace in this country right now. It takes a special kind of stupid to think it'd be fine to have a bbq on a local astroturf sports playing field. 🤦♂️
Before I take a break for the summer, here's my initial monthly plan for 26/27.
Two long trips per month (either previously visited or new grounds)
Two local games per month (probably concentrating on the @ThamesValleyPL & @ComCoFL).
Looking forward to it!

We are still on the lookout for more pre-season fixtures!
If your club would like to arrange a game, or you know a club that would be interested then please get in touch!

This song popped up on my walking playlist this morning, a song that must have passed me by in the #80s but the lyrics are still relevant now. Quality tune.

Five mile walk completed at silly o’clock again this morning. Just need to gradually up the distance going forward. My ankle is definitely getting stronger so I'm hoping it'll be ok to take on my 25km #charity walk in August to raise funds for @AlzResearchUK & @DementiaUK. 🙏 🙏
And after the two semi finals there has to be a final so here's a quick reminder that the @ThamesValleyPL Cup Final is on Friday @TheRivermoor, see below for further details.
After two entertaining semi finals at the weekend the final should be a cracker!
