With the WSL now dropping the Rainbow Laces campaign, I'm just posting this again.

Looking forward to the @footballvhomophobia.com month of action in February. Here's how you can play your part and why it's more important than ever to show your support. 👇 #FvH2026

FIFA has always said that football has the power to unite communities. Pride is a protest, it is better to have two countries playing where this could create a powerful statement rather than having a bland Rainbow Laces fixture. 🏳️‍🌈 #WorldCup2026

Partaking in the Bootham Timeline Trail raising funds for York City's Sporting Memories group this weekend. A group that gave my dad great joy in the later years of his life. Any donations appreciated: www.justgiving.com/page/brian-s... #ycfc

Personal opinion, I'm not fussed about this. Rainbow Laces was fantastic when it started, but the truth is that it has become a mechanism for clubs to get away with doing the absolute bare minimum. With reports of discrimination across the board on the rise, more radical action is urgently needed.

When the @libdems.org.uk were in Government Britain was the No.1 country in Europe to be a member of the LGBT+ Community. We are now 22nd. It's not good enough, and it is great to see that the Lib Dems still strive to make this a better country for everyone.

Pointless trivia fact, if San Marino qualify it would again mean that San Marino would have qualified for the Eurovision Final more times than the San Marino National Football Team have won games of football. Currently tied on 3 each. #Eurovision2025

We have a huge shortage of care workers in this country and Labour want to stop overseas visas for care workers according to Yvette Cooper this morning. Labour needs to grow a spine and stop copying Reform's race to the bottom on immigration as it is destroying Britain one sector at a time.

A reminder that York City Ladies have a massive game tomorrow afternoon playing Norton and Stockton Ancients. Win and they're guaranteed survival in the Women's National League. Would be great to get a big crowd down to the University of York tomorrow. #ycfc

Brian Stokes @brianstokes92.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

York City Ladies very unlucky to lose 2-1 against Huddersfield today. However, due to results elsewhere, it's now very simple. Win next week and York guarantee survival. If you have nothing planned next Sunday, get down to the University of York and cheer the ladies to survival. #ycfc #yclfc

Brian Stokes @brianstokes92.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Your reminder that York City Ladies have a massive game this afternoon against Huddersfield Town, win and it might be enough to ensure survival in the Women's National League. Let's get a massive crowd down to the University of York! 2pm Kick-off #ycfc #yclfc

Freedom to live you life as who you are is not too much to ask. Today, members passed our new policy to strengthen the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and support them as in living their lives freely.

Message to every York City supporter. The Ladies team have a massive game next weekend against Huddersfield Town, they could ensure survival with a win with three games to spare. Would be brilliant to get a big crowd down to the University of York next Sunday. #ycfc

I'm not suggesting the @footballvhomophobia.com campaign is magic, but York City have never lost a game designated to the campaign. Even Jackie McNamara's York City managed to win one. 🏳️‍🌈⚽️ #ycfc

Truly brilliant #FvH2025 designated game down at York City yesterday. The game itself wasn't too bad either, massive 3 points. #ycfc @footballvhomophobia.com @yorklgbtforum.bsky.social

A good time to remind everyone that Reform to have 0 MPs after the next election is 6/1 with Ladbrokes and 10/1 to have 0 MPs by the end of 2025. A Farage bust-up is always inevitable, but I didn't expect to happen this quickly.
