I asked because Accrington play Coventry at home in a few weeks time. They haven't played each other in something like 60 years. I noticed both teams are neck and neck.

And less to the rest of us.
When we lived in the UK we used to have some really old variety of damsons that would literally have the trees bent double to the ground with the volume of fruit they produced. Initially they would also be hard and bitter but by the middle of October they would be really nice and great to eat raw. They would be softer and sweetening up a touch and a handful of two of them at the end of each ride home was great. I used to commute to work by bike, cross country and they were a real treat to come home to. The trees themselves were planted at the end of the 1800s, so pre world war one. They were massive despite being such slow growers.
I'd say I've had a good fruit year.... not tons of strawberries, but plenty of black currants, red currants and gooseberries, and now the Apple tree is in full swing. I have some in the freezer and a shelf full of jams and jellies.
How long have you got off?T minus 6 hours until I hit dry land.
Oh that could get confusing.
