Many thanks to everyone who came down to our Q&A with Housh & Stampy to remember our Step 1 season, with @nickquantrill.bsky.social asking the Qs. As was remarked upon, it was a "free hit" that was a great opportunity for players and fans. Also hooray to Dave Nightingale for his goals film

Non-league football grounds are always interesting spaces, but they don't come much better than Blyth Spartans. Hidden away behind terraced housing, it feels like an old-school Football League ground. Blyth Spartan 1 North Ferriby FC 0.

Quite Ugly One Evening by Chris Brookmyre
Wednesday 20 May 7pm
Hull Central Library + livestreamed to an online audience
An Atlantic voyage. A family at war. A secret worth killing over.
Reporter Jack Parlabane thrives on chasing stories in unlikely places, and where could be less likely than a fan convention on a cruise liner celebrating a contentious Sixties TV series? But unlike the media family exploiting their show's renewed relevance, he's not there to stoke controversy: he’s there to solve a murder. And that's not even the tricky part. No, the tricky part is definitely the dead body locked in a cabin with him, covered in his blood.
