Very pleased with this considering 2021 for me started on May 22nd.

At least I was until I saw that Zeb had been to more new grounds than I'd been to matches.

Third rate Leszno What was the game with most goals played by 2 badgeless clubs

[Baptiste]

Not a great matches to goals ratio - but the 15 matches watching my lot don’t help that. However, none were scoreless.

South Sefton Borough 2-4 Heswall (West Cheshire league division 2)

Given the choice I think I'd choose to redact the lockdown hair rather than my name. 57 afternoons/evenings largely well-spent though.

Who do the blank badges represent AH?

[Artificial Hipster]

AFC Bagillt 4-6 CPD Sychdyn in the NE Wales FA Challenge Cup, a remarkable game which the hosts led with little over a minute to go.

I saw Chapel Town in the Hope Valley League 3 Times.

[Patrick Thistle]

My reminders today included a game 3 years ago that was the last game I went to with my dad.

It was a memory ambush and now I feel sad.

[Capybara]

Had a bit of a result over the weekend as I managed to pin down details of a game I went to over 50 years ago at Whitby Town. I don't count a game unless I have details, and in particular the date played. So Whitby v South Bank on 27 August 1969 is now on the list.

Now, this seems like a thread for advice / guidance on an issue:

On 15 November 1979, Newcastle played Manchester City in a testimonial game for goalkeeper Iam (Willie) McFaul. What time was kickoff?

The programme /. teamsheet, which is available to buy on ebay, doesn't show kick-off time.

So, who would know?

Just checked the 1979 calendar and the match was on a Thursday, so obviously would have been an evening game rather than an afternoon one. Probably 7.30 pm but does it really matter if it was 15 minutes earlier or later than that? If you really need to know, go to the British Newspaper Archive which is free to register on and to view and look at the Newcastle newspapers on it.

Google is your friend.

[DCI Harry Batt]

I've known exhibition type games take place during the daytime. I'll have a look at the newspaper archive, thanks for the tip. 15 November was my typo, it was 13, the Tuesday.

Quick search suggests it was for sure an evening game, with a 7:30 kick-off. Thanks again everyone.

I noticed last night that there's now badges available for the three winners of the Ballon d'Or Feminin. Although two of them could be a bit challenging to get as they're in early July.

If you feel your app use just isn't enough involvement with Futbology, you can now get a t-shirt...

[cantagalo]

Has anyone else managed to get a double Balon d'Or badge?

This one tonight duplicates my first ever Balon d'Or badge from 8th Feb 2020 (Brentford v Middlesbrough). It was a bit of a surprise to realise this has been going for two years.

[Patrick Thistle]

No but I got my first feminin one a couple of days ago.

[Artificial Hipster]

Me neither. Last night was though a repeat of my first ever non league game 9 years ago and but for Abbey Hey getting a last minute consolation would have been the same scoreline too.

[Southport Zeb]

I've also got the double Stoichkov, for games at Atherstone and Skelmersdale. I've previously doubled up for Figo (Darwen, Blackburn Ladies).

[cantagalo]

Not a single Figo for me, I'm afraid.

I've got 22 out of the 49 currently available. I'd imagine you're probably close to completing it!
