I'm here
Yes, Chippenham area too. I’m holding out for us getting Bristol City away in the cup one year, as it’s difficult getting to Amex as much as I’d like.
Let me know if you ever fancy meeting up for a telly game
I rarely get to the Amex either nowadays. Could be fun to meet up sometime (when Covid has calmed down) and watch a game. [MENTION=750]swindonseagull[/MENTION] makes it at least 3 in Wiltshire. Happy new year

Where do we go from here?
Will the premier league not pause during the world cup?

Because AFCON is a regional tournament and the world cup a global one.
Yup.
What I'm saying is that European clubs will just have to live with losing their best African players whenever there is the AFCON. Nothing to moan or complain about.

They are trying to move the AFCON to the June/July to avoid clashing with the European season, as well as a some of the African domestic leagues that run a similar schedule to most European leagues. This does present some issues with the weather though, the up coming Cameroon tournament had to be moved back to Jan/Feb (before it was then delayed a year due to covid) as June and July sees the rainy season in Cameroon so organisers weren't keen on it taking place then.
The 2019 tournament held in Egypt took place in June and July that year, and the next AFCON is scheduled for June/July 2023 in Ivory Coast.

June/July is fine if it's held in Southern Africa, as demonstrated by the 2010 WC.

I've not seen it mentioned but are you allowed to travel overseas if on bail - hypothetical question?

Depends on the terms of the individual persons bail conditions. If there are no travel restrictions on their bail conditions they need to make sure they are in the country on the date they are required to attend the police station to answer bail.

A BRIGHTON and Hove Albion player arrested on suspicion of sexual assault has been released under investigation.
The player, in his 20s, was held by police after an incident at a seafront nightclub.
A second man arrested with him has had police bail extended till the end of the month.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said a man in his 20s has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Not sure if this changes much/anything?
That's great news. I'll be aiming to watch the Mali games where the stars align. Congrats to Biss though, he deserves to be on the international stage
