Some readers might recall the blurb that was posted about the launch of the first episode of the Pitch Invasion podcast last month. Pitch Invasion Editor and former Section 8 Chicago Chairman Tom Dunmore interviewed the former head of Supporters Direct, Dave Boyle.

Boyle is currently preparing to travel to Portland for the Independent Supporters' Council meeting.

The Philadelphia Union will welcome the Colorado Rapids to Chester, PA to open PPL Park for the 2012 MLS regular season, a great deviation from what many people have been speculating about the season's schedule on Facebook and Twitter.

A source with knowledge of the Union's 2012 regular season schedule tells the Brotherly Game that the Union will host the Rapids on March 18, which will be Philadelphia's 2012 MLS First Kick home game.

After all the excitement of the recent rounds of cup matches in the FA Cup and FA Trophy over the last couple of weeks, it was back to the league for non-league football this weekend, and we have highlights from six matches for you this evening. From the Blue Square Premier, we have the match between Forest Green Rovers and Lincoln City.

The Philadelphia Union will play their first home game of the 2012 MLS season on March 18, according to a list of home openers released by MLS earlier today.

For a third straight season, the Union will begin the season by heading on the road to face an opponent, though which team that will be has yet to be announced.

Scarborough Athletic moved up two places into 4th position of the league table thanks to their last gasp winner at home to Hall Road Rangers yesterday.That game I predicted correctly.
Bridlington Town won 3-1 away to Long Eaton United, I guessed that would be a very close game and forecast a draw.

Boro are presently in 7th position of the NCEL Premier division, all the 6 teams above us are in action tomorrow .Top placed side Retford are at home to Arnold Town and I would expect them to extend their lead at the top of the table by taking all 3 points from this game.
Our landlords Bridlington Town are in 2nd place and have a fairly difficult trip to Long Eaton Utd, I can see this game ending in a draw, 3rd placed Stavely, who I found very disappointing after watching them sneak 3 points at Pickering Town last week travel to 5th placed Parkgate to take part in what will probably be a dour game with not many goals and very little in the form of entertainment, could be another draw.

Some photos from my first trip to Philadelphia's PPL Park. We played the Union last season in the club's inaugural MLS match, but that contest was hosted at Lincoln Financial Field. PPL Park was a much more intimate environment, and like its European predecessors, the venue rises out of a working class neighborhood (Chester, Pa.

Winning, as successful managers are wont to say at moments of extreme hubris, is a habit. If there is anything to this theory and whether we should be taking what managers say during times of success at face value is, of course, a matter for conjecture in itself then we can probably assume that losing can become a habit, and there are few clubs that have developed as much of a habit over the course of 2011 as Lincoln City.

The demonstrative enthusiasm Jurgen Klinsmann brings to US Soccer was palpable last night from my seat in the second row behind the United States bench at Lincoln Financial Field. For those who felt that Bob Bradley was robotic and displayed little emotion and joy for the game, the first match of the Klinsmann era at least showed that there will be some smiles and fun in the US camp.

You may have heard at some point that the guy who killed Abe Lincoln shot him in a theater and hid in a warehouse and that the guy who allegedly killed JFK shot him from a warehouse and hid in a theater. It's not totally true as Lincoln's killer was actually caught in a barn. Either way, it's still spooky.

My job is in a place not especially well served by the tube. Well it is, but I have to make a few changes, so usually in the morning I get off about a mile away and walk. This is pretty good fun, in that it gives me 20 minutes of walking, fresh air and music, as well as the niceness of seeing London before it's busy (I'm usually out and about at 730am or so get the day out of the way and back to Hade and Stan by 530).
