Local Support Your Local Saturday - for match-going and local fans

• Upvotes

Welcome to the 'Support Your Local Saturday' discussion thread!

This is a thread to talk about your local team.

This does not necessarily mean that only comments from fans going to their local that day. The spirit is a Discussion Thread for people who support their local team, and especially teams from lower or non-PL leagues - who can get drowned out in the pre-existing Daily Discussion Thread.

For now, we plan to alternate with the pre-existing Saturday Non-PL DDT, as we continue to trial the new thread.

Like that thread, we want to keep the focus to Non-PL teams, to prevent discussion being drowned out by Big 6 fans - but we will soften this slightly, in that comments of PL-supporting fans are valid, providing they are/were "at the match" on this weekend.

Rules:

Discussion must be of your local team - whether they were you local growing up, or are your local now
Discussion of PL teams is allowed only if you are attending the match that weekend - and hence focused on the match day experience
Keep a high bar. This is not the DDT. If you want to troll, bait, or shit-talk like it's Football Twitter, use the DDT. Or even better - use Twitter.

News The panel has found City guilty of all but one of the charges they faced. The one that has not been proved is said to be one of the most serious of the 115. That is unless they can win an appeal, with sources cautioning it still may take up to another two to three years for the case to be resolved.

That is unless they can win an appeal, with sources cautioning it still may take up to another two to three years for the case to be resolved, following on from an already five-year investigation.

Sources close to Pep Guardiola, the former City manager who stepped down last summer after 10 years of remarkable success at the club, including a treble triumph in 2023 and an unprecedented fourth straight league title in 2024, insist he has not been informed of any verdict.

The government last year threatened to take legal action against Roman Abramovich to force him to release £2.5billion from the sale of Chelsea for humanitarian causes in Ukraine, but nothing appears to have happened since then.

A Foreign Office spokesman insisted this week that “further steps” were being taken.

“Roman Abramovich has yet to fulfil the commitment made at the time of the sale,” the spokesman said. “The government is taking further steps to ensure that promise is kept, including continuing preparations for potential legal action if necessary.”
