I often wonder what the fuck is wrong with society 👇

Heartfelt congratulations to the person who dug up the pitch at the Crown Hill Cricket Ground to prove their "success."

You succeeded in your mission.

Westcroft Cricket Club has, with great regret, been forced to withdraw from the league because it is no longer possible for other teams to play in this constant environment of vandalism.

You did not just damage a pitch; you stripped away the favorite sport, the joy, the friendships, and the healthy activities of over 80 children, youths, and adult players.

Congratulations on impacting an entire cricketing community.

Congratulations on undermining the hard work of volunteers who dedicate their time, money, and energy to promote the sport.

Congratulations on disappointing the parents who wanted to see their children engaged in positive activities.

Cricket is not just a game; it is a source of discipline, friendship, respect, and community cohesion.

It is tragic that someone’s negative mindset and destructive actions have washed away the happiness of so many people.

Hopefully, you are satisfied today knowing that a single action of yours has affected dozens of matches, hundreds of hours of hard work, and the happiness of countless individuals. But remember, grounds can be rebuilt, pitches can be prepared again, and the cricket community can bounce back stronger than ever.

Our full support and respect goes out to Westcroft Cricket Club, its players, volunteers, and supporters.

We hope this difficult time passes quickly and that the voices of children and youth will once again echo through the cricket ground.

A Call to the Community

We request all readers to strongly condemn this shameful act. The person who damaged the cricket ground and pitch did not just dig up soil—they attacked the happiness of dozens of children, youth, and athletes.

If you also believe that damaging sports fields, youth activities, and community hard work is unacceptable, then please raise your voice against this act.

Express your condemnation at least once, so a message goes out that our community will never accept such negative and destructive behavior.

Your single comment, a word, or even one voice can serve as proof of standing with this community.

Show solidarity with Westcroft Cricket Club, its 80+ players, and all its volunteers.

Sports stand for love, unity, and positive engagement. It is the responsibility of us all to discourage those who destroy them.

Westcroft Cricket Club.

@mileshuntTWS I wanted to share with you how good the Second Vent 414 album sounds. I so hope that you can get a tour to work as along with songs from the first album there is a great set. Can you also nag Apple as the first album is uploaded 30 seconds out on Apple Music….

@oram_archie @KevinOram6 Keep these great updates coming!

@CrossCountryUK @TheManInSeat61 14:32 from Exeter St David’s but this is not just a today problem it is becoming a pattern of behaviour

[devine1974 @devine1974]

@CrossCountryUK Your business practice of halving trains from 8 to 4 coaches at Exeter or Bristol TM, without prior notice, to customers is becoming a pattern of behaviour and your paying customers are not happy, I can hear them are you listening?
😤 @TheManInSeat61

[devine1974 @devine1974]

@mileshuntTWS The whole people watching Album is great

@JoKingNorfolk Happy Christmas @JoKingNorfolk. Most of my birding updates happen over at Bluesky these days

It would be a Christmas miracle if we could reunite this teddy with their owner! 🎅

If you were on an Edinburgh service today and your little one has lost their favourite cuddly toy, please send us a message. 😊

Two incredible bands. One great early Christmas gift.

Vent 414 were 🔥—raw, impassioned, and left me buzzing for next year’s album & tour.

Then @thewonder_stuff stormed the stage: loud, energetic, and full of passion. The crowd? Absolutely lost it. 👏

[devine1974 @devine1974]

30 years on from seeing the awesome Vent 414 play the Reading Festival and in an upstairs room in the Varsity Pub, Wolverhampton. I am on train now, with a book for company, to see them live tonight @O2SBE supporting @thewonder_stuff @mileshuntTWS

[Miles Hunt @mileshuntTWS]

So there's this next year... 😁

A little homage to the music heritage of my hometown, Stourbridge.
Had a wander round the murals for Ned’s, The Wonder Stuff and Pop Will Eat Itself.
Here’s a piano medley of “Happy”, “Don’t Let Me Down Gently” and “Another Man’s Rhubarb”. 🎹♥️

@southwesttrain1 Enjoying paying to stand on a sweltering train out of Waterloo (15:20) today. Past Andover and still customers are sat on floor and standing throughout the train. Not having rolling stock available to make a full service is not good enough.

Still the @DCMS has done nothing to stop reselling of tickets. I missed out on @LewisCapaldi presale this morning but wandered over to a resale site to see 4 tickets for his shows already listed for up to £270 each. Resales do not support artists, venues or fans. @lisanandy

[Miles Hunt @mileshuntTWS]

I’ve added a couple more of my solo acoustic shows in June.

This time I’m playing Isle Of Wight and Lichfield.

And the really good news is… you’re all invited! 😁
