So no BFC games for nearly a month now, I'll be heading out into the city soon to pick up some early Christmas shopping before the hordes descend, then tomorrow I'll do some household chores before catching a couple of movies.

What plans do others have to fill the footy void? or at least the BFC void, as of course there is lower league action aplenty.

INGURLAND, INGURLAND, INGURLAND!

Had a few beers last night after work so a day lying on the sofa for me ready for football (League One and Two) later and then to watch qualifying for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and saying farewell to the great Seb Vettel.

Autumn Rugby Internationals.

Yeah mainly rugby Internationals today for me too as I think most (if not all) the games are on Amazon Prime TV which I have access to courtesy of a family member. Italy v S Africa and Wales v Georgia at 13.00; Scots v Argies at 15.15 then the big games Eng v NZ 17.30, Ireland v Oz 20.00.
Might give the Scotland game a miss to go to the local footy - Isthmian League Basingstoke v Tooting & Mitcham (well known cup giant killers when I was a lad)- but could be too attached to the armchair in front of the TV by then. Some Ascot racing n TV as well if there's time to watch between the rugby.

Nice sunny day so I'll be in the garden all day. Lots of autumn clearing to do and then it'll be watching England vs All Blacks. My son in law is going down for the game and I hope he's a lot happier with the result than he was last week watching his beloved Rovers lose to the Clarets.

Watched Ipswich game earlier now watching Sheff Weds. Keeping an eye on all the scores.

Wednesday just scored.

Watching the Snooker on Telly

You must be having a smashing time given how many times you've posted on here in the last day or so

Watching the Accy v Cambridge game

Woke up early this morning and checked to see who we were playing.
Then remembered it was the world cup break and decided to go back to sleep

Important victories for Accy, Barnsley, Bristol Rovers & Cheltenham and a gap starting to open up in L1 at the top and bottom of the division.

Been to Barley today along with thousands of others, paid my first visit to the Pendle Inn and had lunch in the conservatory, the Daddy of beers was on tap, Moorhouse's Pendle Witches accompanied by a cracking Turkey dinner.

What a lovely welcoming place it is, the Tour of Pendle road race was on today, so lots of visitors and fantastic to see the locals offering their driveways to the day trippers, this is what makes Barley special.

Got my stepsons (Newcastle fan) 30th tonight and a full Christmas Dinner tomorrow for the youngest stepdaughter who is heading back to Australia on Tuesday!!

Went to watch Rossendale against Hassy St Mary’s up at Marl Pits. A 1.0 derby day cup win for the hosts!

I didn't go but Colne gave a good account of themselves in the FA Trophy by all accounts, got beat 2-1 at Fylde, who are in the Conference North.

Not a lot really watching the Rugby League final but just hanging out for Ireland v the Aussies and trying to stay sober .

Watching the best rugby team in the world play England

Went to Old Trafford with my son and a pal to watch Rugby League World Cup final. Great day out.

At my nephews wedding. Church do at St. Mary's near t'turf and reception and night do at Mytton Fold golf club.
Plenty of singing and taking the **** out of the Ba*****ds.

Been to watch Bono at The Apollo in Manchester.
Great to see a global performer in such a small venue, only @2500 in the audience.

Watching the Aussie national hockey finals. Looking for Perth to beat NSW.

Potting-on 2000 hedging plants, installing windbreaks in field, finishing roof on work area.
It’s day light….better crack-on!

Went to Twickenham to watch the All Blacks - amazing atmosphere and a cracking final 8 minutes or so !

I walked up Whernside yesterday. First time I've hiked solo as I missed the group I should have walked with, turns out I was in front of them all the way round. Anyway, I found it really therapeutic and although I'd rather have company I shall definitely be walking solo again.

No phone signal there until you start the long path to the top. Arranged to meet a friend near the butty van, no sign of him, we walked up and down for 30mins and set off...his satnav took him to Great Whernside

Quite enjoy walking solo too
