The real heart of football isn't in the premiership. It's in the lower leagues, the semi-pro's, the amateurs, the pub teams, where it brings out the best in people and the community. It's where clubs have members, not shareholders.

Pardon me for descending into sentimentality. As you were.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
