The Rugby Football League's illustrative gradings for 2025 have been released and we see a return of Wakefield Trinity to the Rugby Super League.

The Ruby Super League map has been updated to show the teams for the 2025 competition.

The Boston Celtics are now the most successful NBA franchise with 18 championships. Congratulations. But 'World Champions' 😂- come on! You can't call yourselves that by winning a closed competition with only a single Canadian team as international competition.

Most peoples focus is on the #EURo2024 - but the EPL Map has been updated for 2024-25.

A distinct geographical shift southwards and Eastwards in comparison to last season - https://t.co/FOw1jiLzdD

@AgainstLeague3 It’s a sad state that this inclusion of the youth sides has devalued this competition (which in the past gave me my greatest ever football match).

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

Attendance of 323 at Wycombe Wanderers vs. Fulham under 21s last night in the Micky Mouse 🐭 Cup. I’m going to crunch some numbers to see if attendances are significantly worse against under 21s teams than proper L1/L2 clubs.

Unless @AgainstLeague3 have already done this analysis? 👆🏻

@stalbanscityfc Saturday 👆🏻was my first match after living in the area for a few years. Loved it all. Cracking football, and so easy to get a good beer from 1 of the 3 pitch side bars 🍺. Will definitely be visiting again.

This guy @comeback88 👆🏻

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

Yes! Finally On my way to @stalbanscityfc with a Stones fan (who will likely be keeping that on the down low 😁). #Tier6

Looks a really great job opportunity at @Arsenal for a Product Development Manager.

Managing the product development life cycle and developing strategies.

Enjoyed how the home support behind the goal switched ends at halftime to stay at the attacking end. Would love to know if this is the done things at all Tier 7 grounds?

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

Not the result you would have expected at 80 minutes, but a 4-4 draw was an entertaining affair at my first @ETFCOfficial match. Amazing support as well for a team who have only existed for 22 years!

@ASevs6 @BridgwaterUtd Agree with this 👆🏻The £10k loses part makes it bizarre. But, there is real spite and a lack of class in the rest of it.

@mancgas Morecambe/Grimsby aside I think mathematically the pillars obstruct quite a percentage of sight lines, so I would like to see them avoided entirely for any kind of permanent structure.

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

There is surely no finer logo in professional sports team than the Detroit Tigers 🐅 @tigers

Simple. Stylish. Shits all over the New York Yankees!

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

Which traditional non-league teams, who have been promoted to the Football League do you now consider to be a ‘proper’ league club?

For me it’s Wycombe Wanderers and Burton Albion, but definitely not Forest Green Rovers, Sutton United or Salford City.

[Grassroots @Teamgrassroots_]

🚨One of the largest youth leagues in the country has today put the following statement out to all member clubs. ⤵️

"The behaviour and conduct of far too many players, managers, coaches, and spectators is the worst we have ever seen in the history of the Northumberland Football League.

The discipline reports coming in over the first 10 weeks of the season, just to Northumberland Football Leagues, have given us and the County FA an incredible amount of work, on top of everything else we do to keep you playing football.
I am not going to lecture adults on how they should behave, it's not my job to teach you the difference between right and wrong, but what I will say is THIS BEHAVIOUR STOPS, AND IT STOPS NOW!

Starting from Saturday 18th November, any team found guilty of any discipline, welfare or misconduct charge WILL BE REMOVED FROM FIXTURES. If those fixtures include cup/competition games, then you will forfeit your place in those competitions.
Teams playing at central venues where parents are found to be acting in an unsuitable manner, verbally or physically abusing/ shouting at a referee, steward, league official, venue staff or opposition coaches/managers, the club in question will have EVERY PARENT/GUARDIAN/SPECTATOR from every team banned from every central venue.

This is children’s football - there is no place for abuse of any type - if you cannot watch a group of children playing football without feeling the need to abuse/shout at a child be they a player or a referee, or you cannot spend an hour and a half without swearing at the opposition coach or confronting a group of parents - then please ask yourself if you have chosen the correct way to spend your weekends.

We are a Respect League and Respect towards players, the officials and each other is the minimum standard which we will accept - NO RESPECT = NO GAME."

For and on behalf of the league management committee,
Lee Scott
League Secretary

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

Although, can you confirm @ETFCOfficial that the match is on as I can't see it listed on your website?

[Sports Bolt @stadiumbolt]

Thanks to a rearranged fixture, my Tier 7 game will be @ETFCOfficial vs. @HawksFCOfficial on Nov 21.

Really looking forward to visiting the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium at the Country's first fan owned club!

The journey up the pyramid to date ..
