FANS UNITED OVER ARGYLE TROUBLES

Supporters from across the country will travel to Home Park this Saturday to show solidarity with fans of struggling Plymouth Argyle. “The imminent danger of liquidation is a daily reality at Home Park,” say Save Argyle. This has inspired Brighton supporters to revive Fans United, the day of action which drew attention to the Seagulls' plight in '97.

WATCHING FOOTBALL IS NOT A CRIME!

- Portsmouth (The Rifle Club), Thurs 20th Oct, 7pm
- Free event open to fans of ALL clubs

Watching Football Is Not A Crime! is a free FSF event, chaired by former Pompey, Saints, and Republic of Ireland star Alan McLoughlin, which gives fans the chance to question an expert panel of police, barristers, and football safety officers. Do you think football fans are discriminated against? Why are early kick-offs thrust upon fans? Have your say.

BLUE SQ: BRIGHTON V LEEDS UTD

Bet now at BLUESQ.COM
Friday night football sees Brighton and Hove Albion take on Leeds United. The home side remain unbeaten in the Championship at the newly built Amex Stadium and will fancy their chances against mid-table Leeds. The Seagulls can be backed at evens with both the draw and away win rated a 12/5 shot. What's your prediction?

NON-LEAGUE DAY "A BIG SUCCESS"

Non-League Day emerged blinking into the sunlight in 2010 and proved a great success. Timed to coincide with September’s international weekend when many fans are at a loose end, NLD encourages fans to explore their local non-league clubs. It’s a beautifully simple idea which has snowballed spectacularly. NLD 2011 took place on 3rd September and we spoke to Mike Bayly, one of the main men behind the day, to see how it went.

AND FINALLY... THE BIG TISSUE

We all know South Americans go to ground easily, even after the lightest of touches. So, while we certainly don’t condone people throwing things onto the pitch, it doesn’t come as a surprise to see Paraguayan linesman (yes, we said linesman) Milciades Saldivar on the deck after being hit by a projectile. But what causes him such agony? A coin? Or glass bottle? Errr, not quite.
