Not yet young enough to know everything.

There's milestones they tell you about as a parent.
First words. First steps. All lovely.

What they don’t warn you about is the day your toddler conquers Alexa. She still thinks hiding involves covering only her own eyes but can summon Taylor Swift like toddler Jeff Bezos.

@Basingstoke_FC Never wanted the limelight, never made it about him, just quietly made players & people better every single week.

Promotion, cups, difficult moments, brilliant moments… there for all of it and played a huge role in helping shape the environment we’ve built.

Up the Stoke, G 💙

Can’t explain the science behind being woken at 5:58am vs 6:01am being three hours apart.

But much easier to wake up to a tap on the shoulder from my 3-year-old with the words: “Can we watch horse racing downstairs?” 🥹

Currently cheering on 起玩吧 in the 15:44 at 沙田

@OffTheLineBlog @OreofeBello9 @Basingstoke_FC I’m so careful where I seek recommendation but I’ve got so much time for your approach and knowledge.

I was interviewed on Solent radio and mentioned exactly that on Tuesday night.

Appreciate you!

@lew32323 @Basingstoke_FC That closed the spaces Scott and Dre usually thrive in. We adjusted, bringing in Josh and Cook, who are more comfortable receiving and working the ball in tight areas.

As for next season, everything we are doing is geared towards progression.

@lew32323 @Basingstoke_FC Last time out, Tiverton went very direct, often leaving four up against our back line. Scott gave us balance, anchoring the midfield allowing Dre and Joey to play higher and be more aggressive, but as we found out they dropped into what was effectively a back six.

@Basingstoke_FC @JoeGrant14 I love the celebration as much as the goal.

Some head to Joey, because the finish deserves it.
Others to Galla, because of his refusal to give in.

The fact this group instinctively recognises both is such a great and important culture.

@t_fenlon @Basingstoke_FC Hi. That’s not about the journey, that’s about the commitment behind it from volunteers and supporters.

Not a complaint. Just context. There’s a difference.

@Powelly_9 A quote from yesterday…

“It doesn’t matter if he dived, Dan, once he’d dived, contact was made which makes it a penalty.”

If anyone is running the Reading Half tomorrow and need anything along the way (drink, snack, whatever), let us know, we’ll be around the ten mile mark if you want 'owt.

@JACKMlLLER @Basingstoke_FC Love this. Can’t stress enough the value of positive support and that age group holds a special kind of power.

When our lot show that level of passion, it spurs us on. It’s envied by others and it becomes a huge attraction when it comes to player acquisition.

@hobbs_family solid start to the game. No guarantee of a clean sheet as starting to look a little messy. A fair few getting down his outside, but good awareness whenever a female passes with ten yards.

@AFCFylde Beautifully spoken, Luca.

[db @brownlie12]

@Basingstoke_FC The truth is this club only works because of the people you don’t always see.

Time, commitment and energy given without asking for anything back, and all of it done with such willingness.

Incredible people doing incredible work.
