I've had a crack at gigs, based on tickets and memories. But no programmes and very few post-event reports mean it's pretty unreliable.
I can't be 100% certain I haven't missed out a game or two, but the match list is pretty accurate I think. And it is the best I have, so... π€·π

Yes. Lockdown project. Involved triangulating between programmes, tickets, clips and memories.

Think of me. It's going to be tough.
Soton away and QPR home next. Hoping one of them will be a grand day out...
Off to Portman Road yesterday, hoping to see my 1,000th Ipswich Town goal in person. A 2-2 draw meant it was just the 999th, but thank you Jack Clarke and a pretty generous referee for giving a rather soft spot kick. Still, they all count. π

Next Saturday @claptoncfc.co.uk play at home in the play off semi. Another record crowd? Maybe. Incredible things going on down the dog...
Down to the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social for @claptoncfc.co.uk 4 #FCRomania 2 yesterday, a top vs bottom clash in front of a record CCFC gate of 1,712. For context, this 10 tier game attracted more fans than five matches in the National League, five tiers above. Extraordinary.
Mesmerizing. #jacobalon
Five more days. @recordstoredayuk.bsky.social
Day trip to Canvey Island for @claptoncfc.co.uk vs Rayleigh Town, second vs fourth. CCFC one up inside five mins... π
Yes, saw the official attendance today. It hust seemed busier. Still, some even bigger games to come!
Haven't seen the confirmed attendance for @claptoncfc.co.uk but it looked more than the 970-odd of the last game at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social. Extraordinary things happening in this part of East London.

Fascinating watching two Essex Senior League matches before watching CCFC trying to secure promotion to the ESL. Little difference in standard to my eyes, while Clapton easily attracted 3-4 times the attendance of the ESL games combined.
Busy 24 hour #nonleagueday marathon on Friday/Saturday - Woodford Utd 1 Buckhurst Hill 6 & Basildon Utd 1 Hackney Wick 4 in the @essexsenior.bsky.social & @claptoncfc.co.uk 1 May & Baker 0.
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Cheers, Ben. Yes, it has been a long stint. Although nothing compared to Alan, who has been writing about the charts for about 50 years now... π€―
Mark Ashton, watch out! π
The Oscars at its best. πππππ

Drop albums, not bombs.
Tense 2-0 wins for @claptoncfc.co.uk & @ipswichtown.bsky.social, both are now one place outside their leagues respective automatic spots. Bobby & I could only be in one place though - at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social for Clapton CFC 2 Cannons Wood 2. @nonleaguedogs.bsky.social #nonleaguedog
Shall I cash out? π€

Indeed. Plus, what made the night was the slightly naughty, ramshackled chaos which local heroes Shaun Ryder, Bez, Noel and Angry Ginge brought to the party. It's what makes it "the Brits", rather than other, more po-faced, awards; it is at its very best when it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Wow. Well, what an amazing Brit Awards in Manchester last night. Highlights? Bjork guesting with Rosalia & Harry's opening performance - and the biggest screen you have EVER seen proving the most spectacular series of backdrops. Incredible.
10 straight league wins for Clapton CFC and back to the top of the league. β½οΈπ
