Delighted to be confirmed as the new Executive Director Place & Regeneration @N_landCouncil. Can’t wait to get cracking this spring, working in a place so close to my heart. Sad to leave @WalsallCouncil where we have done some amazing things, but will always be #proudtobewalsall

Proud mag tonight. Was like watching us in 23/24 again. Ramsey best game for us, Willock 👏, Miley didn’t hide after a difficult first 15. Spirit, determination and 🏹 nearly nicked it ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️. How far we’ve come #nufc

RT @alanshearer: Outstanding second half from the Toon. Should have nicked late on but that was a shift put in from them. 👏🏻👏🏻 #PSGNEW

After Ashington added its rail station to the list of World Cup winners from the town, we caught up with Deputy Council Leader Richard Wearmouth and County Councillor for Ashington Central Caroline Ball to get their reaction. 🏆 #WorldCupofStations #Railway200 #RailDeliveryGroup

You were idolised and adored by every generation of our brilliant fan base, legendary status. You have shown your true colours and thrown it right back in the face of those same supporters. Good riddance. Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army 🏴🏳️🏴🏳️

Oasis were absolutely brilliant last night in Cardiff. 4th time seeing them starting at Whitley Bay ice rink in ‘95 all the way to Wembley Stadium - and this was probably the best of the lot. Sounded great and a superb atmosphere. A privilege to see them again.
