Pompey, hockey, music, relentless optimism, humour (no, seriously), planes, NHS, all things emergent. Views not checked by my wife, which can only end badly...

The Folic Acid nonsense is all over my timeline at the moment.
I had two bowls of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and a slice of toast yesterday, and now i feel like a Folic Acid freedom fighter!
Six times the daily recommended dose and i'm still here! COME ON!
City guilty on 114 of 115 charges! As a consequence the FA have docked Everton 8 points and relegated Sheffield Wednesday to the National League.
Brilliant thread on the intricacies and detail of running a match day. Whilst the numbers may be different, the framework here would apply to any club. Great bit of work.
OUR FIRST MONTH IN NATIONAL LEAGUE SOUTH - FINANCIALLY 📊⚽️
August was @FarnhamTownFC’s first ever month at Step 2.
3 home games.
4,212 supporters through the gates.
And more than £100,000 generated around those matches before hospitality, commercial sponsors and season tickets are included.
Last year August saw us take just over £30,000. That's some growth.
Here’s what we learned 🧵
West Ham smashed the all-time EFL Cup first-round attendance record yesterday with 53,369 fans attending the 3-1 win over us at the London Stadium. We had 9,000 up there though as a part of that, which is incredible.
It beat the previous record held by Leeds by over 18,000!
13 years ago, if you wanted a Pompey replica kit (Sondico!) they had a pop-up market stall in the car park outside of the ground because we didn't have a club shop.
Now that the dust (& canal mud) has settled I wanted to let you all know that your amazing support of my 100 mile paddleboard & ice hockey tournament has contributed £1,365 to the huge £31,421 sum that @BluebellWoodCH kids' hospice ice hockey team have raised this year. 💜🐾👏👏
05:00 - On my way! Full hockey kit, obvs! Always a joy on public transport. Bus & Tube to Paddington & now on the train to Bristol Temple Meads!
Got a brilliant video message from my team this morning. Really fired me up. Let’s do this. #staystrang

I'm working up in Aberdeen so had to watch England from afar with the Rascals back at home on Facetime. Great watch party although some issues with the two TVs having a 6 second delay!
Come on England! 🏴
Looking at the pics from our tourney & I’m a 6’ 2” grown man but these 2 pics actually made me tear up. The absolute joy on Fenton’s face when I grabbed his wheelchair & I got him on the ice to score a goal. That’s @tyhafan That’s @ukfallstars
