A thought: what would the politicians and papers be saying today if Bob Vylan had chanted ‘Death, death to the IRGC!’? @ASPolice any inkling? Thank your lucky stars there’s a fallow year in 2026 to save us all from the cacophony of ‘takes’ on both sides…

A YEAR AGO TODAY... And what a day it was! On 6th May 2024, we sealed our promotion from @SouthernLeague1 Div. One South and, though it didn't go as planned last season, that play-off final was the most extraordinary afternoon at Badgers Hill. #WeAreBA11 | #Robins | #FTFC
