Fan-owned football in Newcastle
On Tyneside, Newcastle United’s fans are desperate for a takeover to rid them of hated chairman Mike Ashley. There’s even talk of raising funds to buy a stake in their club. However, far from the Premier League, fan-owned football already exists on Tyneside.

Weathering the weather in Tow Law
Tow Law is not quite as high and remote as Wearhead United - famously owners of the highest football field in England - but it's still a steep climb up the road from Durham. On winter days, this is often a journey into the meteorological murk and there were serious doubts that the game would be on.

Football fortresses: Richmond Town
Earls Orchard. Picturesque name, picturesque place. Nestled beneath the walls of Richmond’s Norman Castle, it’s been a sporting venue of sorts since the Middle Ages, when the nobles watched from on high as jousting tournaments took place on the fields beside the River Swale.

The Problem with The Process
Sam Hinkie convinced the city of Philadelphia that he could build a successful team through the draft. Almost a decade ago, he made promises of the next Golden State. Assuring they would have a team full of All-Stars. To the average fan the prospects were glorious. It’s impossible to compete for a title without a superstar. Why would you want to be a 3 or 4 seed when you could be winning a championship? All you had to do was game the system. Of course we can do it, because Sam and by extension this city is smarter. Yeah Right.

Trae Young is officially a SUPERSTAR
Game 1 Atlanta Hawks: 116 Milwaukee Bucks: 113 Here we go again. That's three straight Game ones with the Hawks playing as the undisputed underdogs, and that's three straight game one wins for the Hawks. Time and time again we have gone into the series with nobody on our side and everyone doubting us, and we continue to prove everybody wrong. I love it.
