That is almost as old as some of pete's jokes RK ;)

Unfortunately, expecting the comedian to win today

Morning all. If you have an Athletic subscription then somebody has just done a list all the EFL grounds. Ours is a pleasant surprise... - [Link]

New Signing Day please

*was different

Same I think the effect on the light was awesome because it wasn’t different from an ordinary dimming due to sunset because of the higher angle of the sun. The wildlife around where I was sat, up in a high clearing in some beautiful ancient woodland, really couldn’t give a crap about the eclipse nothing changed at all 🤷‍♂️

had not expected much with the eclipse apart from a twilight feel and lower temp, and failed to disappoint. At least I got to meet a neighbour, and we chatted about the 1999 eclipse, and our respective experience, and also helped two Gen Z neighbour's create an image using the pin hole method with a card and the outside wall.

Even though we have already won a match in anger this season, the Thursday before the 1st league match of the season is the one where I start looking forward to the season as a whole. The Newport match, despite the win still feels like an outlier, in as much that the cup games traditionally start after the bread and butter campaign has got going. That said, this time round knowing the next opponents aren't another lower league side and one we can/should be up for all round helps with this anomaly.

48 hours til starting the shlep to Yorkshire COYD.

Don’t forget it’s the Perseids peak right now as well. Seen a few already with one decent green + trail one.

Went down the park, eclipse was disappointing but it was nice to see 30-40 people out enjoying the park when it’s usually low single figures in the evening. Some of the kids seemed to just enjoy being out doing something different.

* staring, not starring.

Richmond Park was rammed this evening with people who had never been there before in their life and basically parked where and how they liked, all starring up like zombies not really sure why or what they were looking for. This afternoon it was dead. At 6.30 pm it was like a festival.

My photo shows the moon brighter than the sun...😅

It gets darker when we have a good daytime storm. What load of hype:-)

Yes CW that’s a wonderful thing to happen just as long as UEFA aren’t using the guy as political football. I’m very happy for him to have this game though and think it’s the right decision. Football fans everywhere should see it the same.

Nice to see the ref who the USA wouldn’t let in for the World Cup getting the European Super Cup

Bert. I dread to think what qualifies as "normal activity " on street corners of Thorton Hth

To take Bert’s idea on one step - 36 DT fan ownership clique stalwarts tomorrow presenting themselves at A&E with impaired vision.

That's why they're still single, RK ;)

Raced back home mostly downhill, past lots of parked cars on the ridge in darkly wooded areas. Not one single driver thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to put their hazard lights on

The Daily Mail have the much more restrained headline "ECLIPSE FEVER": [Link] [Link]

Imagine if Wimbledon Brewery had an eclipse event on the pitch this evening to announce the renewal of their sponsorship. Plenty of beer sold and AFC Wimbledon branded special glasses. Tricks missed all round ...
