It brings friends together, and sometimes brings tears When you follow your team through the trophy-less years. But mostly there’s passion and striving to win. Whatever your colours or the team you are in. There’s a fabulous story that needs to be known. Right here were the seeds of the modern game sewn. On our own Parker’s Piece and it’s proudly displayed, Giving homage to every game ever played. We’re proud that grass roots were lain down in this place. Our city, our students, our very own space.

Reeves was also pressed over having accepted free tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter concert with a family member, despite the row over Starmer's acceptance of "freebies" last year. She said it had not been possible to pay for the tickets offered as hospitality and she had accepted them because it was difficult to sit in general seating because of her security needs. "Look, I took those tickets to go with a member of my family," she said. "I thought that was the right thing to do from a security perspective."
