I get what it's trying to say, but please spare me the utter nonsense of using the vacuous cliché "Age means nothing" to promote a tournament where age means you can't play if you're not young enough. 😡

Here’s a very short Hornet Heaven story about how items of #WatfordFC memorabilia can mean a huge amount to supporters. Hope it resonates. hornetheaven.com/kintsugi/

How do you decide what #WatfordFC memorabilia to keep? Do you keep everything? Only stuff from the glory days? Our latest piece on our website tells the story of an unusual approach: thewatfordtreasury.com/blogs/news/mix…

No more Watford match programmes. How do you feel? For me, it hasn't quite sunk in yet. Which is probably why I've written a new Hornet Heaven story - to help me process how I feel. Hopefully, it'll help you do the same. You can read it here: hornetheaven.com/programming-er…

This is a good read for #watfordfc fans - about what we see when we watch matches. Last week, on From The Rookery End, I banged on about how no one can be certain about anything in football. I like how this piece made me re-think what I thought I saw v Hull.

I'm hearing that listeners are enjoying the final punchline of this short #watfordfc sitcom episode. Brilliantly delivered by Colin Mace, as always. You can listen here: pod.fo/e/339b02

I can reveal that writing a story about #watfordfc events from very nearly 50 years ago - events I remember very well - doesn't half make me feel old.

Here's a lovely thing. My mum's 95 and lives with dementia. Her carers have printed out Watford Football Club's fixtures and update the scores for her. It's wonderful they understand how football helps people navigate life - and how important our team is to our sense of who we are. 💛🖤❤

Sure #watfordfc hadn’t won an away game for 280 days, but I hadn’t been to an away game in Derby for 15,897 days (Baseball Ground, 15th May 1982). I feel richly rewarded for the wait.
