Football and politics

Is it just me that finds this a bit gauche? I’d be appalled if our official website offered up a statement like this, or any other social commentary on politics, Deary me

I believe Theresa May has sent a note to the Hertfordshire club questioning the formation that they deployed at Blyth on Saturday

It's filled with so much inaccurate, ill informed and incoherent babble it made me feel nostalgic for Northwich Guardian match reports.

Its Borehamwood. I can't imagine anyone reads it anyway.

Given it was Borehamwood who tried to charge RR a fee for broadcasting from their ground, we do know they’ve never been fans of tariff-free access.

A poorly written pile of absolute drivel. I just can‘t wait to enjoy all this freedom we‘re going to have whilst tucking into my chlorinated chicken vol-au-vents and blasting out land of hope and glory from my caravan in Skegness, enjoying my one week of statutory holiday in global Britain

Boreham Wood are also the only football club I can think of who don't know how to spell the name of their town, and they won't like Mrs Warbouys using foreign words like gauche, I'm sure.

More seriously, I do think it's stupid for any sports club or retail business to take any political position. It alienates some of their own supporters or customers, and I doubt people who do agree with the politics will suddenly change their habits. I can't see Jacob Rees-Mogg filling the extensive gaps on the teraces at Meadow Park.

Quite. I've made a point of not visiting Wetherspoons in the current political climate. Fortunately the one in Altrincham hasn't got much to recommend it anyway.

Ideally suited for a football message board I would have thought.

Not sure that a football club website is the right place for such an article - probably someone wanting to have a rant, but they speak sense!
