This could have been a very short article. I could have written it myself. It could probably have simply read: “virtually non-existent”. But I don’t want to short-change you like that. Hopefully, you have got used to comprehensive articles written by people who are genuinely passionate about English football’s lower leagues. Like Sarah Lomas, for example. This concludes Media Week on The Seventy Two - huge thanks to all who have contributed, read, shared and commented. On the day Rochdale achieved promotion, the attendance at Spotland was 5,025. And on the day we went to Wembley for the play-off final,…

We forced Glen Wilson to stay up until dawn to offer a critique of the Beeb’s much-maligned nocturnal highlights package. Recently, walking through Doncaster, I watched a man end…

Ah, Ipswich Town… such great memories. Jumpers for goalposts, the “Tractor Boys”, Bobby Robson, hmm? Anyway, best not hang around. I’m being chased by Gavin Barber. And he’s got a pitchfork. What’s your abiding memory of the actor John Thaw? The grumpy brilliance of Inspector Morse? The snarling Jack Regan in the Sweeney? The bumbling middle-aged Dad in 80s sit”com” abomination Home To Roost? Unlikely, that last one. Less likely still is that what sprung to your mind was the same as what always springs to mine when I think of the much-decorated screen legend: his piss-awful attempt at a…
