Very satisfied with the results for Clapton, Thistle and Scotland today. Those wins were all extremely valuable.

Wonderful result - particularly for those behind the scenes at the club who put in so much work this past week to get this game on ⚡ Forza Clapton!

I might not pronounce "Loons" or "Minnesota" like a local when I sing, but I'm having a great time. 2-1 to MNUFC at half time. 'Mon The Loons!

If I wasn’t a lifelong Portland Timbers supporter for 51 years I would be a Minnesota United supporter because their SGs do some of the best pride merch and tifos in the league. Like my SG and their SGs are tied for first in best pride stuff. Esp love the Red Loons. Great folks there.

Difficult afternoon for Clapton's women & non-binary first-team today. At least the Old Spotted Dog pitch looks like it's appreciating the rain, and the new "keep aff the grass" signs are lovely.

I think the Caley Jags deserved a point from that game. Always a kick in the teeth to lose a late goal, but I don't think Thistle's second half deserved the win.

Tough one to take but the season is young. Good introduction to the new lads. Early season means the Scaffold stamina is getting worked on too tbf. All in all: it's a long season and we'll all be back stronger next week in time for our FA Cup debut. #ForzaClapton

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

Feeling very happy with the squad that's been put together here. Seems like a decent bunch of guys with good attitudes. Keeping Stanway and Fitzy was unexpected and very, very welcome. Excited to hear that Mark Wilson is grabbing the label of favourites* for the league with enthusiasm. Come on Jags!

Keeping the fitba accessible in East London. Of course, for those who are able to, paying more than a fiver for a game will help the club to do more good work.

The consensus opinion from my group chats is that The Muppets have just been complicit in some kind of war crime against football. Kermit must condemn.

They say football without fans is nothing. Watching football without similarly-invested company is nothing. Seven stranded London Jags together in the pub to watch the play-off final first leg tonight. So much more than nothing.

A week on from Clapton CFC's play-off victory, reflecting on the achievement. What a story it's been from the boycott games, to volunteers cleaning up a disused pitch in Walthamstow, taking control of the dilapidated old Clapton ground, and welcoming a crowd of over 2000 to the game last Saturday.

Winter 2017. Clapton FC fans watch a game from outside the club's ground, The Old Spotted Dog, during the boycott arranged by Clapton Ultras.

Photo taken from https://thecoldend.blogspot.com/2017/01/essex-senior-league-clapton-ultras.html

Late Summer, 2018. Makeshift ground entrance at The Stray Dog ground in Walthamstow, for the new Clapton Community FC's first competitive game at their temporary new home - a BBC Essex Cup game against Hutton. A new sign bans dickheads from entry.

July 2020, members of Clapton CFC gain access to The Old Spotted Dog ground, after successfully purchasing it. Clapton FC had been evicted for not paying rent around 2019. The pitch is completely overgrown and the ground is some time and A LOT of volunteer effort away from hosting football games.

May 2026. A full Scaffold stand cheers on Clapton CFC in the men's first team's play-off final against Rayleigh Town. Clapton won the game 4-2 after extra time, and promotion to Step 5 of the English football pyramid. A crowd of 2475 in attendance that day.
Banners read "LOVE CCFC" and "CAN'T HOLD WE DOWN" - a reference to lyrics by local-born rap artist, Kano.

Ridiculous that a Palestine flag waved in solidarity and a banner condemning genocide should have resulted in this game being abandoned. Proud of the players refusing to play behind closed doors, and the Clapton and Dulwich fans coming together was a special moment.
