Interesting that Robinson, Fox and Hopkins call for free speech when they have been found to have made incorrect and defamatory remarks in the past. Grifting must also be hard work and must take a physical toll.

It’s just occurred to me that the distance between Slough & Swindon is 60 miles, why did Wernham Hogg have 2 branches so close to each other?

I think the Man City one about George Best was written by a child enjoying his final days of primary school.

Not sure the Ugglas would just give him a ticket given the number of regular fans who couldn’t attend.

The biggest irony is that the English Defence Front sponsors the French football teams. You couldn’t make it up….

The Ugglas will probably buy the stadium & the SMC will come under YCFC but the reality is that the other games played there will continue to some degree. City can buy Akinyemi, Stones etc because we aren’t paying to upkeep a stadium.

League One with Bradford, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Rotherham, Donny would be a utopia for City fans. I’ll settle for the Tea Room Derby in the interim……

You can feel the mist and cool air in this photo, for me the litmus test of an image is that it sucks the viewer into it. Job done, Tony.

Tough choice as they are both excellent. I think I’d marginally favour the 85-87 Hansa concept.
