15/4/23 Sunderland V Blues. Mackem N Tackem, Backem N Fackem.

This had been a fixture I’d been looking forward to.

Now normally I would’ve been looking forward to a Blues away trip, but QPR truly is a trial of patience.

By that, I mean the whole…… Continue reading 18/3/23 Cradley Town V Coventry Copsewood, Midland Football League Division One. A Strike For A Number 9.
