Santander was one of the two banks still offering a free Community account when I looked a year ago. The other, I think, was Metro Bank. If they're now charging, I'm glad i stayed put. It's annoying, though.

To add, virtually every bank has started applying charges on their so-called 'Community' bank accounts that many charities, not-for-profits and sports clubs use. When Lloyd's applied the charge at the beginning of the year, I looked around for a new home for my treasurer's account that I use for my ...

That's a real shame, Steve - but thanks for all the hard work you and everyone else involved has put in over the years. It's certainly been a success.

(*winner x 5, I think, through my own tickets plus a couple of syndicate tickets I ran for a few years).

It's a measure of the confidence we have that we won't feck it up by twisting too many times and losing one of those 'winnable' games.

Ha! I'm more optimistic by a full two minutes!

Tbf, I've been tipping Bickerstaff to score for some time now - I'm due one.

I know Liverpool fans who reluctantly admit Everton's new stadium is top-drawer - so there's another decent away day with a hope of getting something out of it.

STOPPIT!! We have to beat Buxton first - and, given our recent record against non-league teams, that ain't a foregone conclusion!

I don't think they're NL standard...

Martin Allen on Ashley Vincent, anyone...?

Josh Griffiths in goal for the Baggies and making a smart double-save on TV, I just saw.

Presumably with a bigger release clause, too - as that appeared to be the sticking point with his current deal?

(That was funny last night! And the scummers *still* couldn't win! I even thought Keane was MotM and was hoping for the obligatory interview, but it never happened...)

Just flicking through the Gas Works forum while I wait for my car to be serviced: apparently, there was some kind of 'dust-up' between Rovers fans and ours on the way back to the railway station. Anyone heard about that? Speaking of dust-ups, DC apparently read the riot act to two of the Rovers firs...

Aidan Keena...?

Oh...Reece Hutchinson is apparently now with Crewe and has scored three goals this season. When did that happen..?

Raya and Richarlison perfectly demonstrating why I hate seeing goalkeepers standing midway in their own half of the field just because their team has possession. Same last week with Schmeichel for Denmark. I realise their job nowadays is almost more of an extra defender who is allowed to use his han...

Just seen the goal from a close camera: that's actually a really good finish on the half-volley. Immaculate timing with both the run and the finish.

I think that's pretty much spot on. At the start of the season, I quite liked the look of Mazionus and thought there was a player in there that we could make use of. Even Bakare has something about him. Angol, Pell and Cundy....absolutely not. I have no idea why anyone thought they were League stand...

There were "sack the board" chants coming from the away end, I think.

A great 3 points for us - but a fairly dreadful match between two struggling teams. We were beaten all over the pitch in the first half - yet Rovers barely had a shot apart from that one-on-one that Day saved. That said, we scored from pretty much our only shot on goal... Oh, and the referee had a s...

OK, give us a clue: what were the random red and white cards being held up in block 1 all about...?

Might as well call it League 3 and be done with it.

For the same reason Conservative donors were rewarded by Conservative governments - and why Reform donors will be rewarded by the Reform government that appears to be inevitable after the next GE...

A word for the referee: I thought he had a good game and tried to let the game flow. If he made one mistake all match, I was surprised there was no pen when Day dithered about coming for the ball and *probably* caught the Tranmere player's face. TV replays seemed inconclusive, so would be harsh to s...

That makes three of us, then... My first thought was that Broom needs to be stronger.

WTF is this Sky commentator on...? He keeps getting Thomas muddled with Archer. He then called Tompkinson Archer and even my wife was drawn to ask "is everyone Archer??"

Feck me, that was poor... Flynn out!

Ask the fans of the ten clubs at the bottom of L2 and the fans of the ten clubs at the top of the National League and I think we all know what the spread of the votes would be!

My first thought was actually to approach Paul Godfrey. After all, he's the club archivist, I thought?

Sad news. I knew he'd been ill in the last few years and it's never good to lose a fan of his standing. It was his work that built the original Robin's Nest (and signed me up as a moderator waaaay back when he asked for volunteers!) which, like it or not, has outlived all other attempts to provide a...

Hey! That's MY job!!!

Feckin' useless ref missed a blatant two-handed push in the defender's back in the build up to that goal. He's a disgrace!
