Hi,
Big weekend ahead — Pride takes over Tuesday Market Place and The Walks on Saturday, and about time too. Elsewhere, scaffolding's finally going up on the Custom House, the Stars gave Premiership leaders Belle Vue a proper fright, and the Linnets kicked off their new season with a point on home turf.
Have a good one.
