Following the success of last week’s first-ever Support Your Local Saturday thread, we have decided to extend the trial.

For those who missed it, the premise is a thread to talk about your local team - something of an amalgamation of the Saturday Non-PL Daily Discussion Thread, and a “match-going fan” thread.

This does not necessarily mean that it is only comments from fans ‘going to their local’ today. The spirit is a Discussion Thread for people who support their local team, and especially teams from lower or non-PL leagues - who can get drowned out in the pre-existing Daily Discussion Thread.

There is a small but dedicated following in the Non-PL DDT, and we were hoping that something of a re-brand may boost participation and help to build that excellent sub-community.

We want to keep the focus to Non-PL teams, to prevent it being drowned out by Big 6 fans - but we will soften this slightly, in that comments of PL-supporting fans are valid, providing you are “at the match” on this weekend.

Rules:

  1. Discussion must be of your local team - whether they were you local growing up, or are your local now
  2. Discussion of PL teams is allowed only if you are attending their match this weekend - and hence focused on the match day experience
  3. Keep a high bar. This is not the DDT. If you want to troll, bait, or shit-talk like it’s Football Twitter, use the DDT. Or even better - Twitter.
