“We’ve had our opportunities ….but not taken them” - sums up the season quite well.
Some very poor teams at the bottom but we have rarely shone and, despite many abysmal referees’ decisions, fully deserve relegation, the game’s up.

I remember Lloyd persistently climbing over Paul Fletcher every time they contested headers in a match at TM. Eventually Fletcher “made a back for him” and Lloyd fell from a great height - painful and very angry. It even made my eyes water!

Re: None footy, British farmers being paid not to grow crops
Under the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU, farmers had to set aside some of their land and not grow crops on it in order to receive wheat and barley subsidies. Today farmers are paid subsidies to produce environment, habitats for wildlife and birds, flood control, biodiversity etc.
