Phil Brown's hair is thriving, lush, and beauteous. Maybe its optimum growing conditions are general despondency?

They could play home matches on Sealand! It might be a helluva home advantage, a la early 80s QPR and their dreadful plastic pitch.

Forest Green Rovers brought the climate and ecological crisis into sharp focus by taking the unprecedented step of using their pitchside advertising hoardings to display real-time facts and figures about fossil fuels, plastic waste, and other critical issues during their League Two game at home to Swindon. The 2-0 defeat, televised by Sky Sports, was broadcast across 120 countries.
Forest Green’s “pitchside intervention” was planned by their artistic director, Massive Attack’s Robert del Naja, also known as 3D, in collaboration with the chairman of the club, Dale Vince, who acknowledged the bold move was controversial and could create a backlash. The messages were shown on the LED advertising four minutes into the game at the New Lawn, raising awareness of key world issues in a thought-provoking manner.

Laudable, but it still rubs me up the wrong way for some reason.

If going and watching games is all that's needed, maybe they should stick Alison Moyet in charge

I liked the anti-racism/abuse adverts they kept showing on the hoardings that said "think before you post", as if every racist tweet ever made was some sort of accidental slip of the tongue

Today and last Sunday we've had loads of fighter jets zooming past all afternoon, and I looked up why and it's because there's American football games at spurs's stadium each weekend

That said... if she wishes to glare at me fearsomely, and then hand over a 7 million poun 'golden goodbye', then I think I could bravely cope with that...
