Few thoughts from me about yesterday.
1 - Wembley is shit. Always outnumbered, yes, but that doesn’t particularly matter. Shite to get to, shit atmosphere, not the experience it’s made out to be. I’d be happy to never go again.
2 - VAR can get in the bin. You do not use it..
I don’t particularly dislike Bolton, so fair play to them, well deserved in the end. And they played and managed the game much better than we did - massively better in fact.
No self-entitlement as such here, but we needed to be better in so many different ways.
@CJSHEZZ@EFL@SkyBet@OfficialBWFC@StockportCounty The EPL and EFL bending over for the TV companies is the only formula that works for them, bollocks to everything else. We’re just the suckers who follow!
@CJSHEZZ@EFL@SkyBet@OfficialBWFC@StockportCounty Exactly. And others are saying this was ‘always going to get moved’ and fair enough, but that doesn’t make it right - the point is it’s crap planning regardless, and foresight of it actually makes it that little bit worse.
This Saturday’s game brings an end to one of the most thrilling, exciting and unpredictable title races in football history. Both ourselves and Rochdale have the chance to write our names in National League history.
The National League is no longer a non-league competition. It is effectively a League 3, with fully professional clubs operating at a level equal to or higher than many of those in League 2.
We both understand how important this game is to both clubs and supporters. We both pledge now that whatever happens tomorrow, we will both continue to fight for 3UP.
Both clubs sit on over 100 points. One of us will have to fight once more in the National League Play-Offs. However, we both strongly believe that this shouldn’t have to be the case.
We call on the National League, Football Regulator, EFL and Premier League to come together immediately and resolve this issue, so that we do not have to highlight this injustice year after year.
For both sets of supporters attending the Crown Oil Arena this weekend, we say thank you for being with us all season. The passion you’ve shown for both clubs has been felt across the world. This game will be seen far and wide. We want to showcase this league for all its potential. Keep your support in the stands, not on the pitch, and let’s all protect the game we love.
Thank you!
Rochdale AFC & York City FC

@postyyy107@drfc_official I’m not overly arsed either, more insightful about how intruiging it is that commentary is so biased. I (genuinely) didn’t come here to gloat.
Research shows humming just 10 seconds helps your health.
A quick hum might be one of the easiest ways to boost your breathing, according to researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute.
Their experiments show that even a 10-second hum triggers vibrations that dramatically raise nitric oxide (NO) levels in the nose and sinuses, sometimes by as much as 15-fold compared to normal quiet breathing.
Here’s why it works: humming creates rapid oscillations in airflow that stir up the air between the nasal cavity and the sinuses. The sinuses are natural reservoirs of nitric oxide, so this mixing action flushes the gas out into the airways in large amounts.
That burst of NO acts like a natural upgrade for your respiratory system: it dilates blood vessels for better oxygen delivery, reduces inflammation, and helps fight off viruses and bacteria that try to invade through the nose.
The takeaway is simple: a short daily hum—think of the classic “mmm” sound—could be a free, effortless way to strengthen your defenses and breathe more efficiently, especially when colds and flu are going around.
