Another great @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org #CircleTheCity ride around Birmingham yesterday. 6PM, Victoria Square, first Friday each month. See you June 6th!

Jack Armer, Jon Mellish & Jordan Gibson. None considered good enough for @carlisleunited.bsky.social in L2. All playing in L1 next season while we wallow down in the NL. Nobody involved in recruitment and retention decisions up to the window this Jan should still be at the club next season.

The weather looks like it’s going to be great on Friday so why not join our ride? Here are some lovely pics from our last one ☺️

Argh! Is it a chemtrail, is someone trying to 'dim the sun', or poison me, or turn me woke? No, actually, it is probably an A350 on its way from Heathrow to New York.

Two great opportunities to get out on your bike with family members and friends. 2 May round the city centre and 11 May from the MAC.

Neil degrees Tyson Explaining the "God of the Gaps".

Our win percentage (if we win on Saturday)=24%. Last season=15%. To get automatic promotion from NL needs 66%. Anyone who thinks we can make that much improvement in season 1 is a starry-eyed optimist. A much more achievable 38% would get us into the last play-off place.

Our next #KidicalMass cycle ride is 2 weeks today on Sunday 11th May. Meet outside MAC Birmingham at 10.45 for an 11am start. All ages are welcome and no one will be left behind 😊

Today we celebrate British Sign Language Day at St Mary’s! We are proud to champion inclusion and communication for all. Learning BSL helps us live out our values of love, peace, and hope, making sure every voice — spoken or signed — is heard and valued. #BSLDay #Inclusion #Flourish #Community

Glad to see Handsworth's best primary school @stmarysce.bsky.social has joined the polite and civilized community on this platform.

When I listened to the Piatak's plans after they arrived, I started dreaming of swapping local games against Walsall for ones against Albion & Blues (or even Villa & Wolves!). Never thought the swap would be for Solihull Moors & Tamworth.

Happy St George's Day to all true patriots who love this diverse, welcoming and compassionate nation (and not all the Reform flag-shaggers who put up their flags last week on the wrong day)

Big test for the travelling blue army. Will we be able to sell out the away fan capacity at Truro City - 550? Maybe if it is a Saturday game.

Mellish started for Wigan yesterday and scored. Gibson started for Doncaster and will be playing in L1 next season. Dennis scored to help keep Tranmere up. All three rejected by us as not good enough.

I suspect that if Hughes had been able to pick a fit Kelly from when he arrived, we would have survived. He was immense today. Likewise Harris, who is my player of the season.

Got to build our way out of the National League, not try and buy our way out. Likely to take several seasons.

Truro City here we come

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Think police reaction on the night was overkill, resulting in a major pile up. This driver could have been identified with cameras and dealt with later. He now needs to be banned permanently. Driving is a privilege not a right and he has forfeited that privilege.

Very sad news about Joe Thompson

Hoping to see a good turnout on 29 April, this being the next step toward the creation of #MayarYahiaSquare. There's a lot going on in the city at the moment, but I can't imagine anything more important than supporting the incredible Yahia family. Please spread the word if you can.

Team that relegated @carlisleunited.bsky.social to the Conference/NL in 2004 = Cheltenham. Team we are playing last but one game of this season = Cheltenham. Got a horrible feeling we are going to provide another of football's many co-incidences.

Still a very long shot, but if we were to win the next two and Tranmere & Accrington both lose the next two (the latter's second game against us), we would be level on points with Accrington (but behind on gd) and one point behind Tranmere (but likely with a better gd) with 2 games to play

x.com/itvfootball/... And we let them both go!

If I wanted my cremated remains inside a Cybertruck I'd just buy one and wait

Is it just me who wishes people wouldn't mess with hot cross buns or hummus, by adding all kinds of different ingredients? Both have classic flavours that don't need improving or altering.

@johnmunro.bsky.social loved the ride this evening 👍🏼🙂❤️🚲

Trump tanks the stock market with tariffs. Then he and his rich backers buy while prices are low. He then relaxes the tariffs, the stock market goes back up, and they laugh all the way to the bank.

Went on the first 'Circle the City' bike ride yesterday. Great fun and an indication of what Brum would look and feel like, if cycling was as popular and facilitated as it is in Amsterdam or Paris.

Restoring the team. Release all players not contracted. Loan out all contracted players (except Breeze) who have had pitch time in 2025. Invite 30+ trialists in July and offer 6 month contracts to the best 15. Start season with them + our youngsters. Recall loan players as and when they show form.
