Seeing as the exodus seems to be gathering considerable pace, and seeing as it seems better than Threads, I've signed up to Bluesky, so do follow me there if you follow me here... @dufferssport.bsky.social (FWIW I'll stay here for a bit or until it inevitably collapses)

I can't decide if this brilliant live blog was a desperate attempt to cover a nothing story or an ingenious way of harvesting clicks due to the paucity and nature of its content. Anyway... #fourminutefeed

Spoke to @BelperTownFC boss @leeatts90 about last season's progress and next season's hopes now the Nailers have finally been granted their wish of a lateral move to NPLD1 Midlands...meaning 3,000 fewer miles to cover. https://t.co/S91Uw7ain5

For Belper Town, the last two seasons have been a case of ‘so near, yet so far’.

I don't post much nowadays but GET IN THERE YOU FUCKING BEAUTIES! My chest is thumping from the anxiety at the end and yes I'm crying but that's been a while in coming and it's bloody worth it. #COYS

In the end, @SleafordTownFC didn't drop into the bottom two of the UCL Premier North until the final five minutes of the season but that was enough to see them relegated. Boss @CoachMattEvans reflects on just how close his young squad were to survival. https://t.co/kFoSoP95UU

Matt Evans says he’s proud of his Sleaford Town players despite their relegation from the UCL Premier North.

I'm not sure @BedfordTown boss @LEEBIRCH has even come to terms with the fact they've stayed up, let alone won the league, but he spoke to me this week about defying all the odds to take the Eagles to the National League. https://t.co/yju314sRdi

It’s just two years since Bedford Town were relegated from the Southern Premier League Premier Central with barely a whimper.

Biggleswade Town (@Biggleswade1874) finished bottom of the SPL Premier Central but as boss @J_TMartin explains, that only tells part of the story. Feature-length piece here: https://t.co/QBrCj8WJMD

This time last year, Biggleswade Town were on the crest of a wave.

When Paul Reed took over at @LeightonTownFC in November they were languishing near the relegation zone. Fast forward to April and a remarkable run of form had them so close to challenging for the play-offs. I chatted with Reed about that and the future. https://t.co/2pruRZapxC

When Paul Reed took over as Leighton Town boss back in November, his brief was simple.

My wife (@kristendelivers) and I went to the House of Commons last week to recognise those who not only did so much to save our two youngest babies' lives when both were born premature, but also to help Kristen given the numerous complications. Our story is featured here.
Derbyshire mum Kristen has praised our maternity and neonatal staff at Royal Derby Hospital for their life-saving care of her two babies - saying she now has the family she "always dreamed of" 🤍 Read the full story on our website: https://t.co/kToP2Rgv7P

Another long read alert! Spoke with @Biggleswadeutd boss Kane Dougherty about the club's play-off push as the possibility grows of all three of the town's clubs being in the same division next season. @KaneDougherty_ @GuillemBalague

Biggleswade United may currently be the lowest-ranked of the town’s three football clubs, but that could all change in the coming months.

I spoke with @OllertonTownCFC chairman Liam Kent (@tnekmail) about how the club has got through something of a rebuild following a tough couple of years, and who is hoping to see them move back up the pyramid before too long. https://t.co/w4eFXw7Q3y

As football seasons go, the 2023-24 campaign was about as tough as they get for Ollerton Town.

It may be the case that @BedfordTown are top of the league but boss @LEEBIRCH is just happy they've stayed up... I had a good chat with him about what he calls a 'freak' season, and his stance on the proposed merger with Real Bedford. ➡️ https://t.co/o3yxO5Ukxb

When Bedford Town were promoted to the SPL Premier Division Central last season, the ultimate aim simply became to stay there.

Had a good chat with @LeamingtonFC midfielder @J3dw4rds on his ten years at the club, breaking the Brakes' modern day appearance record, and how he now balances football with a career outside the game and a young family. https://t.co/8mxfdh4dkg

For Jack Edwards, Leamington FC has become part of his way of life.

I had another interesting chat with @BanburyUnitedFC boss Simon Hollyhead about the team's recent progress. Simon's always a fascinating fellow to interview, with a very philosophical, deep-thinking approach. Hard not to write 5,000 words each time...! https://t.co/hWygWsAnhY

Simon Hollyhead’s first season as Banbury United manager has been quite the learning curve all round.

Had a chat with the latest non-league star to earn a move to the EFL. @LeamingtonFC's Callum Stewart signed for @shrewsburytown last week and is relishing the challenge having left his home-town club. https://t.co/ZWXbGLHtUh

For Callum Stewart, playing for Leamington FC was always meant to be.

Chatted with @AylesburyUtdFC boss David Tuttle about still aiming high this season after an encouraging first half of the campaign. https://t.co/z9XZOVhA1G

It’s likely the case with several clubs in the SPL Division One Central that the aim this season was to avoid being one of the four teams relegated.

Ran the line for half of my daughter's U11s game this morning and was again left wondering why the hell anyone would want to see that job as a viable career option. Thought a girl had been played onside by a Yorkshire Terrier at one point.

Shein are now trying to sell me back the jeans I'd chucked away after we'd had our puppy for three days.
