Sweet, poignant article from Nutmeg reprinted in today's Guardian about lifelong fans who suddenly stop going to games. Most of us will have known one or more similar over the years - characters you'd see at every game until one day, they're not there anymore.
Chesterfield’s John Fleck has been taken to hospital after falling ill during the warm up, ahead of their match against Doncaster. According to posters on Twitter, it’s the second time it’s happened to him. I hope he gets the support he needs if it’s something more serious.
Things seem to be losing their way in the footballing world at the moment. Crawley Town have been reported under the Modern Slavery Act by their old kit man. This doesn't look like it's going to end well for any of the parties involved
