Who’s going to watch this one? I’ll be rooting for Sheffield Wednesday as I have a friend who’s a big Owls fan and I know how much it means to him to get back to the Championship. Come on you Owls.

As Torquay have found, trying to attract players can be difficult because of the geographical location.

How a community club can gain support away from the big teams

I always get emotional on the anniversary of Hillsborough. I was 12 and I remember it like it was yesterday. Scenes like that were too much to process for a 12 year old. 97 victims. Countless lives destroyed. Grown men and women who still can't talk about or deal with what they witnessed that day.

i bet their fans wont be that impressed despite the win.

With no NL transfer window, should Notts be looking at any potential signings from Southend?
