'Extra manpower across the park' - your transfer window priorities

BBC News05-06-2025
We asked for your views on what Livingston need to do in the transfer window.Here's what some of you said:Ethan: For Livi to be competitive this season we need to get a holding midfielder that can play with the ball at his feet but isn't going to be a bombscare. I'd like to see Robbie Fraser or Macaulay Tait come back to Livi but that will never happen because I think they excelled too much when they played with us. In terms of sales, get Tete Yengi out the door as well as Daniel Finlayson, both not good enough for the top flight.Kieran: This squad is miles better than the one that was relegated. I think two full-backs would be wise. A left-back to replace Fraser, and a right-back assuming Jamie Brandon returns to the midfield with Tait departing. Some back-up at centre-back seems essential, but I'm hoping we don't revert to the low block straight away.Daniel: Livi are going to need some extra manpower across the park to mitigate the impact of our loanees returning to their clubs of origin and an ageing squad. A striker with a ruthless edge is required, wing-backs on both sides and the departure of Michael Nottingham means we need more options in central defence. An attacking midfielder would also be nice, but we mustn't wish for too much!Del: Livi has the basis of a very good team, a bit of strengthening up, especially creative players for David Martindale to go out and win games.

Foulling claims levelled at Wimbledon tennis fans

Wimbledon fans queuing overnight for tickets are allegedly defecating and urinating in Horse Close Wood, a section of nearby Wimbledon Park, according to local campaigner Simon Wright. Mr Wright, from the Save Wimbledon Park residents' group, claims to have found human faeces and used tissues, raising concerns about health risks and a lack of respect for the historic woodland. He stated that discreet signage urging visitors to respect the woods has proven ineffective, and he has observed individuals using the area as a toilet. A spokesperson for the All England Club said they have not seen any evidence to substantiate the claims but confirmed that stewards regularly patrol the area to ensure it is well maintained. Concerns about sanitation and limited toilet facilities for queuers have been raised previously, with similar complaints reported in 2015 and 2022.
