Visited the Cosgrove Hall exhibition

Binged Mackenzie Crook's Small Prophets. Brilliant. Genius.

(Must be as I've not posted on here for several weeks, I just had to get it out there!)

Have you all had your break yet? 😉

This time last year was my first #FellowFan game after coming up with the idea

I haven't had much uptake, but I know it's not down to a lack of need for something like this

But it has allowed me to get to know a lot of people in the local game, & for that I'm grateful

A positive sign. Might be useful to have kept the playing registration even just as backup through this first season. #SalfordRLFC #RugbyLeague

Commonwealth Games are in a bad way so makes sense to put the majority of it behind a pay wall to ensure even less people have access to it. 🤔🤔 #CommonwealthGames #Glasgow2026
