It was a tale of two cities and two very different football grounds for an @FCBarcelona fan who turned up at the wrong St James Park last night 🏟️
The Spanish supporter, who made the journey to Devon from London, turned up at the turnstiles of Exeter City’s Adam Stansfield stand last night, expecting to see his team take on @NUFC. It was only when he showed his ticket to staff that he realised his mistake.
But he got to see a got to see a game of football – Exeter City staff sorted him out a ticket for the game against Lincoln under the lights of the real St James Park!
Adam Spencer, Supporter Experience Officer at Exeter City, said: “One of our volunteers came to the office to let us know that this guy had turned up expecting to see FC Barcelona. His English wasn’t great, but from what we could gather, he’d come from London. My guess is he’d put St James Park in his phone and then just followed the directions from there.
“He was pretty gutted and a bit embarrassed. So, we sorted him out a ticket and he got to watch a game at the real St James Park. He’d be welcome back any time.”

@implausibleblog Nonsense. The winners of the woman’s euros get 12.4% of the prize pot, compared to the men’s who only get 8.4% of the prize pot. Whilst the prize pot may be smaller in the woman’s game due to the revenue generated, they still get a larger share of pot.
"For a country that's won one World Cup and have never won the Euros, they're very expectant & very arrogant about their chances."

…but there was some truth to it. 😬
On Friday, the Reading Sunday League sent Caversham United an email warning against fixing our match on the Sunday against one of the two title contenders…

An incredible development in the Mick Beale/Sunderland saga…
Honestly, you NEED to see this.

Rennes thought they had scored to secure a place in the #UEL last 16, deep into added time, but VAR had other ideas 😳
Can anyone work out why this goal was disallowed? 🤯
