A little more detail on some of the posts retweeted on @affordablefooty over the past few days.
It was very sad to read a statement from Percy Main Amateurs this week that explains why over 100 years of football at the club looks to be coming to an end soon, despite the best efforts of volunteers, and goodwill from other clubs, over the years.
Tiers three to six of the women's football pyramid have seen their seasons curtailed, with many questioning whether the top two divisions of the game in England, the WSL and Championship, are now becoming ever more detached from the leagues below.
The FA Cup is continuing and Kent Football United are among those clubs looking to keep busy with a number of friendlies scheduled for April and May.
A nice touch from Walsall, highlighted in the Express & Star newspaper this week, as the Saddlers have launched a new third kit for the 2021/22 season which has the names of supporters who did not claim a refund on this year's season (who also get a discount on the shirt itself) included in the design.
I saw the above in a tweet from Kieran Maguire at his excellent PriceOfFootball twitter page where the finances of the game are analysed.
Kieran's expertise comes across in this recent BBC Radio Nottingham podcast which discusses the latest set of accounts at Forest in the wider context of the Championship and Covid-19.
And a nice charity fundraising idea from not too far from me here in Sheffield...
Check out Main’s new charity idea for 21/22 and beyond. Lend and exchange your sports books. It’s a trial we hope to make a few charity pounds for. https://t.co/Hn5EE4afFK #UTM pic.twitter.com/OHPtu6DJV9
