Latest PostFarewell for now

A long day, but a good day.
It's been goals galore across the English Football League and the football season is well and truly under way.
We're just about done here after a bumper and entertaining day across the Championship, League One and League Two.
Now, we could meet again tomorrow when Coventry take on Rotherham. However, that game is subject to a pitch inspection at the CBS Arena this evening. Not something you expect to hear in August and in the midst of a good spell of weather!
But for now though, thank you for joining us.
