7th May 1974, Led Zeppelin held a lavish launch party at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York to celebrate the founding of their own record label, Swan Song Records. All future releases would be on this label. The label would eventually be home to acts like Bad Company and Dave Edmunds. #LedZeppelin

Field inspection at Swangard. Season 8 about to commence. After 7 seasons and over 80 matches of doing every job on Match Day I am finally passing the baton on. Soon I can show up 5 mins to kick off with my glass of champagne and spot prawn sandwiches 😂. It’s been a good run.

Rainy Thursday night in Burnaby and we took six points off our cross town rivals. Women won 1-0 but it should have been more (“Half a pitch, we only need half a pitch”) and the men won 2-1 with goals from a pair of young guns.
