🔍 THE STOLEN BADGES OF NON-LEAGUE
Following on from Motorway Services FC, it’s now over to you……
Which other non-league badges are so crap they look like they’ve been stolen from somewhere else altogether??
Here’s a few examples:
Ascot United - ZX Spectrum Game 🕹️
Frenford FC - Leisure Centre 🏊♀️
Shrivenham FC - Sports Direct T-Shirt 🏴
Worcester Raiders - Ant Powder ☠️
Question is will work let me fly to Melbourne to work from cricket 🧐
Cricket Victoria has launched a new initiative allowing workers to set up their laptops at Junction Oval and work from the grandstand while watching Sheffield Shield cricket. The program accommodates approximately 35 people with free Wi-Fi and coffee, and has already sold out for its second day with plans to expand capacity to 45-50 spots.

Has any panel had a wider remit in sport than the ECB's Cricket Regulator? Half expect them to rock up to sanction me for how I pitch throwdowns to my 6yo.
You can have your £1000 fine @ECB_cricket cos when Fateh spins we're on the pitch @WorcsCCC
Now the shirt clearly doesn't say two Astles, ok. But does pose the question as a #wba fan. What if we had two Jeff Astles?!
Regardless your views on Imran and his politics (from a bloke with a signed Imran bat in his loft can probably tell where I stand) this is an incredible statement I'm pleased cricket is making a stand now. It did with apartheid and hope it does with Afghan women.
What an extraordinary moment at Lord’s.
Cricket gave Imran Khan to the world, and today the cricketing world refuses to forget him.
Former England captain @Athersmike speaks up for Pakistan’s greatest cricketing icon on the world stage, while much of Pakistan’s own media remains afraid to even mention his name.
A powerful moment. A shameful contrast.

Worcestershire spent £160 on a helicopter to try to dry out the outfield in a bid to get their NatWest Trophy semi-final against Sussex underway, August 13th 1986. Play did start but after 5.2 overs rain returned and ended play for the day. The game extended over three days with Sussex running out winners

Headingley IS hosting an Ashes test next summer and the fact an official cricket media outlet doesn’t even seem to realise is embarrassing. You don’t have to be an avid fan of the women’s game to appreciate that
What's with successive cancellations on the Hounslow loop tonight? With the Piccadilly line out that is extremely poor.

Doorbell footage shows just how rapidly the fire in Stourbridge spread into a garden and ultimately burned down 19 homes.
Yesterdays emergency alert was valid. Following hot dry weather the threat of this being repeated is extremely high.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment... people seem to forget the "best series ever" (2005) finished in mid September
"One day, before too long, those who decided to give such priority in the fixture list to this nonsense will have to be held accountable: not least by those who were stupid enough to pump money into it, but also by a public that has been betrayed." telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026…
