Lots to look forward to from the FiB team in the coming year. Take a look and get involved! #NonLeague #Berkshire #grassrootsfootball

So just a few more days until I start seeing if I can paint. Just waiting for detail brushes being delivered on Monday and we can start. I'll post pics on here if the paintings look half decent, otherwise (and more likely), you'll never hear another word from me on the subject! #art #painting

Just booked a hotel for a weekend away in Bath in March where I'm planning on taking in the @larkhallafc.bsky.social game with Brixham. 🙂

The Egypt v RSA game is the perfect example why I don't watch international football anymore. Shambles of a finish to the first half, shit ref and a joke VAR decision.

A good piece on the current situation at Ipswich. I suspect most of the tetchy ones are the "HMS Pisstheleague" crew who expect us to win every game by 5 goals.

Signing off now for the Christmas break. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate it and a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Looking forward to getting back on the road in a month or so time and hoping to catch up with many friends on here in 2026. Take care all & enjoy!

Introducing you to @cavershamunited.bsky.social tttonlf.com/2025/12/21/i...

Are Royal Mail still delivering letters or is it just packages now? Not had any post for over a week now. 🤔

When are the @cavershamunited.bsky.social versions of this going to be available? 😜

Parks to Pitches Edition 5 is OUT NOW! You can grab your copy here: tttonlf.square.site/product/park...

Really looking forward to Christmas being over as I'm eating far too many Pigs in Blankets Pringles. With these it is true, once you pop you can't stop! 😄

Two more physio sessions to go this year & hopefully the end to a long recovery. Remind me to watch where I'm going when taking part in an ultra challenge on a coast rather than looking at the views! No more ankle injuries please. Hoping to finally return to #nonleague watching again next month!

Had a couple of blood tests yesterday, prostate PSA, and cholesterol. PSA returned a very good 2.2 reading and the cholesterol test showing no issues. Always good to get yourself tested annually if you can.

I won't be watching one minute of the World Cup in the USA. Saying that, I haven't watched the last three so nothing really unusual about that!

#France v #Belgium

Getting to Football.... if you want to know how to get to a non league club and I don't mean just SatNav but public transport anywhere then this doc is amazing... it's hard to imagine the work that has gone into this...... www.andyofkent.exofire.net/GTF_202526.pdf

The way the second half of 2025 has gone I can only hope 2026 is a massive improvement. Just got to survive the next few weeks and then go again with a little cautious optimism. 🙂 #lookaheadnotback

Finally a good weekend across all sports for me. All three of my teams, #ITFC, #Packers and #Canucks winning. Long may it continue 🙂

All for #nonleague clubs now using ticketing sites for pre-sale & ease of getting in but it bugs me when they increase the price you pay on the gate. Maybe you had plans that changed, just fancy a local game or mates decide to go for a few beers & footie that morning, why should you pay more?

We want to grow our Blue Sky community! Drop us a follow if you’re interested in: Football ⚽️ #NonLeague #WomensFootball #SundayLeague And generally a bit of a light-hearted approach to running an amateur football club in the Reading area! Come and join our journey! 👋

OMG! Will be going right back to my childhood tonight since spotting That's channel are showing Grange Hill from the very beginning! #GrangeHill #schooldays

Having a long term injury sucks. So many games & weekends away planned but not been able to get to any so far this season. Looks likely to drag on into 2026 too. Never plan too far ahead! The sad thing is I've now got used to not going & think that's only going to get worse the longer this goes on.

Mondo Duplantis is just different gravy. Just wow! 👏👏👏 Also love the cameraderie between all the pole vaulters. Top quality. #WorldChampionships #Tokyo

Now watching the #Brewers on BBC iPlayer. #MLB

Very best of luck to @valedynamos.bsky.social in their #FACup tie this afternoon. 👍

Received this through the post today. Look forward to reading pieces on the price of merchandise, the new football regulator, player spotlights, & much more, all penned by #nonleague fans. Head to the @tttonlf.bsky.social site here tttonlf.square.site/product/parks-… You won't be disappointed 👍

🙏 SHARES APPRECIATED 🙏 WANTED: grassroots football teams with good vibes and a social conscience to connect with and (who knows) maybe play friendlies and stuff with. Any ages/abilities/genders welcome. If you know of such a team with a presence on Bluesky, please do send them Union Street's way 👇💚

I might be found at this game 😉

🏆 FA CUP DRAW 🏆 We entertain Step 3 Isthmian League Premier side @stalbanscityfc.com on Saturday 30th August at 15:00 It’s a tough one 🥊but a very exciting one too!! #MagicOfTheCup #WeAreTheDynamos

Feeling slightly nervous about the #ITFC game today. My teams in all sports never all win over a weekend, one (or more!) usually let me down. This weekend the #Brewers, on an unbelievable winning run, won twice, the #Packers (pre-season) & #Hawthorn in the #AFL both won. Ipswich it's over to you. 🤞

Another blank weekend for me footie wise as I continue to recover from the ankle injury. Hoping to be back on #nonleague and #womensfootball reporting duty in 2-3 weeks. Pencilled in a couple of days break in Dorset first weekend in September to take in the Portland United v Brockenhurst match. 👍

One of the greatest UEFA Cup runs took place in 1980/81, where Ipswich Town went on an explosive campaign to glory. They would win the final 5-4 on aggregate, with John Wark scoring a record 14 goals in the competition that season. Sensational.

Hi Bluesky, we're Union Street FC - a ragtag amateur football team based in Oxford. Club motto: Love 💚 Peace ☮️ Freedom 🕊️ Values: good causes, fair play, supporting the refugee community and failing to defend corners. Currently scrapping it out in Oxfordshire Senior League Div 3. Come say hi x

One for all my #nonleague friends, @valedynamos.bsky.social have just joined us here on Blue Sky. It might be time to revise my grassroots starter pack but in the meantime give AVD a follow. 🙂

My local side down here AVDFC are now on Blue Sky. @valedynamos.bsky.social. All my #nonleague contacts please RT and follow

Hoping that my #nonleague season will finally get underway at the end of the month with a trip to Dorset. Better late than never I guess. 🙂

Just remembered to download the new Honeymoon Suite album. Some cracking tunes on there, much better than their last album. 👍

Just been up my local supermarket and wondered when the cash back option disappeared? Was this another consequence of Covid and the rise of contactless payments?

What have I just watched in the #AFL? St Kilda, 46 points behind going into the 4th quarter, come back and win it with the last kick of the game! Wow! 👏👏👏

Watching the Tour stage this afternoon and amazed just how depressing the ad breaks are. A constant flow of charities pleading for funds, bloody cremation ads and just how many new gold coins are they going to mint? Seems like a new one every week!

This week marked the start of something new. We’ve started a Substack called Groundhopper Weekly. The articles are going to be dedicated to Groundhopping and Non-League Football. Check it out below! groundhopperweekly.substack.com/p/whats-this... #groundhopper #groundhopping #nonleague

Looking at a weekend catching up with friends in Ipswich at the start of August, that is if I can walk properly by then! There's an outside chance I might be able to sneak in a FA Cup game while there... 😜

A few changes to my football plans in 25/26 after a hectic 24/25 season. Fewer matches but more overnight stays & weekends away. wanderingtractor.uk/mission/ See how long this new plan survives in its current form! 😁 #NonLeague #womensfootball #grassroots

getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2025/07... Album review : HONEYMOON SUITE – Wake Me When The Sun Goes Down

Just had a notification pop up to show that my very slow, hobble to my local shop and back has taken me to another walking milestone for this year, I've now walked over 750 miles in 2025. Would have probably been closer to 900 now if I hadn't destroyed my ankle a few weeks ago! #walking

It looks like I am going to have a theme this season, any new ground I visit, the home side have to wear striped shirts (or at a push hoops). Now off to see how many of the clubs on my 25/26 grounds wish list fit that criteria & research teams that do! #nonleague #grassroots #matchhopping

Watched the Live Aid 40 documentaries last night and was struck by the tickets for the Wembley concert costing £25 which was deemed expensive. How much would it be for a ticket these days considering it was for over 8 hours with all the top bands of the day?
