Couldn't get rid of me that easily! Delighted to be joining the team at CounterPress to cover Pools next season. With so much to look forward to on and off the pitch, I can't wait to get back to the heart of the action. Poolies, I'd love your support.

Great to hear @rowanc123, CEO of Birmingham metal stampers @CBrandauer on @BBCRadio4's @BBCr4today programme yesterday morning talking about @biztradegovuk's Industrial Strategy & the pledge to reduce energy costs for manufacturers/the manufacturing sector

Big supporter of ours

@BBCr4today since 2024 there have been thankfully been rigorous checks on unpaid fares by revenue staff at Birmingham stations, accruing a lot of money, to put into rail investment. It was once possible to go from Bournville to Euston without a single check!

How about becoming a nib maker at the @thepenmuseum ✒️ in the Jewellery Quarter?
