    "Members of a golf club say they are "very concerned" after coastal erosion caused sections of turf to fall into the sea.

    Alnmouth Village Golf Club is the oldest nine hole links golf course in England and its low lying location next to the coast means it has often been flooded.

    But this most recent impact of the North Sea has seen damage to a part of the course which has not been affected before.

    Club secretary Ian Simpson said: "We will eventually lose the golf course if nothing is done."

    "We are very concerned and need to look at new ways of dealing with it," he added."

    "Built in the 18th century, pretty Cliff Farm was named after the spectacular views over the coast several hundred feet away.

    Now, Cliffhanger would be more accurate - after dramatic landslides left the former farmhouse teetering over a 150ft precipice.

    Owner Steve McCormack, who only bought the property five years ago, had to evacuate the historic property after the latest cliff fall.

    The three-bedroom house in Trimingham, Norfolk, will be demolished by the local council in the next few weeks to prevent it collapsing onto the beach below.

    Approached by the Mail, he was still in shock at the loss of his £132,000 investment, which he bought in an auction.

    ‘I can’t think straight. I can’t talk now. I need to try to sort this out,’ he said, even though there is no solution to his desperate predicament."

    Some actual fitba content at last:

    "* blessed Fulham with great geography," the Premier League club's owner Shahid Khan said in 2021 as he discussed his vision for Craven Cottage's new £80 million stand on the north bank of the River Thames.

    Once it is finally completed next season, the Riverside Stand and its eye-catching Sky Deck will offer fans rooftop views of the London skyline and "experiential food and drink pop-ups." Images of the lavish construction released by the club in March also depict a rooftop swimming pool. There is, though, one glaring issue with the development: the stadium is predicted to be underwater by 2050.

    Fulham are by no means the only team predicted to suffer as sea levels rise in line with global temperatures because of climate change. Almost one in four stadiums in the top four divisions of English football will experience total or partial flooding within the next quarter of a century, according to the report "Playing Against the Clock: Global Sport, the Climate Emergency and the Case for Rapid Change," published by the Rapid Transition Alliance in 2020.
