Tried to find the words to pay tribute to Curtis Coppen in my @NonLeaguePaper column after his heartbreaking passing last weekend. The most poignant and fitting words came from the man himself. He will be missed by all at @NorthShieldsFC and beyond. thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/latest-news/57…
🖊️ Underpinning efforts to strive forward on the field will be a hardworking, loyal and committed volunteers who have already ensured @DunstonUTSFC are in a strong place to continue their journey for the next 50 years. My latest @NonLeaguePaper column. thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/columnists/582…
The Football Governance Bill received Royal Assent today. It is now law. We're very proud that the FSA was at the heart of change, helping to protect the clubs we love from the worst owner excesses. Club owners can no longer mark their own homework. 🔗 thefsa.org.uk/news/fsa-respo…
Really enjoyed reading the latest @WorldSoccerMag on holiday. @henrywinter on a change in England’s mentality, @jonawils on Jack Grealish and @markgleesonfoot on Egyptian club Pyramids all outstanding reads.
Delighted to see this. Jack is a top talent and an all-round defender with plenty of room to develop and improve even further. Also another indication of the depth of Boro’s scouting with another non-league talent joining the club.
Centre-back Jack Daley has joined Boro after impressing on trial, and is another addition to our U21s set-up. Welcome to MFC, Jack! 🙌
Good luck to all @EbacNorthernLge clubs for the new season. A special good luck to @AFCNewbiggin and @UnitedDurham as they embark on their first ever season as step six clubs. Can’t believe the new season is here already!

Absolutely devastated by this. Kelvin was a brilliant person and a wonderful character. Thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone that knew him ❤️
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of former club photographer, Kelvin Shell. Kelvin was a massive part of the club from 2019-2024 and will be missed by all. Our thoughts are with all his family and friends at this sad time. Rest in peace, Kelvin. 🖤
A wonderful show of support for @ifucareshare 💚💚💚
