And Bolton 21st July at BP

Just finished The Last Family in England by Matt Haig and i'm also reading the Undercover Economist by Tim Harford.

FFP is anti-competitive and protects the established clubs.

And on that note, Prince Charles is meeting Gerry Adams.

Its the lowest common denominator that LJ be linked with the star of his previous club. However, if there is someone else available where he doesn't need to pay a transfer fee, he might not go for Kelly.

The leasehold to the stadium/stand is owned by Oldham Athletic 2004 Ltd i.e. the club.. As for the 'fact', prove it?

My Sheff U supporting colleagues has said that they have struggled to fit him in and they have questioned his application. Sounds familiar. Wouldn't say no if the deal was right, but not sure i'd want to break the bank in any way.

Is that actually dragging the UK down though? The primary issue is the countries with the Euro. Spain for example was royally ###### despite having relatively little debt. Also being able to negotiate treaties on your own isn't particularly good if you have less influence. Of course outside the EU the government would have more flexibility to terms that might be economy good, people bad.

There is a correlation that Switzerland and Norway are outside the EU yet they have decent economies, but that doesn't mean there is causation. There are other countries outside of the EU that aren't doing so well. Switzerland has been a haven for investors for a long time, due to its political neutrality (it didn't have a costly World War to fund) and stability. Norway has the biggest oil wealth fund in the world. Both have relatively small populations. It's often worth noting that the bulk of Norways jobs are in the public sector and their manufacturing output isn't particularly great. Switzerland in particularly did negotiate something like 120 individual agreements which took 3 years. My guess is that it might take a bit longer to sort ours out if we decide to leave being that we are about 10 times bigger and without a healthy bank balance. Why would businesses not invest? Investors like certainty and stability. Leaving the EU serves neither so why would they invest here instead of say Germany? On the other hand, its been great that we haven't been in the Euro for the same reasons. EU Laws - If you trade with the EU, then you need to play by its laws if you want to trade with it. Many of the laws make sense in my view anyway but you can find problems if you cherrypick, as you would do with normal UK laws. The US government recently released a report saying that they may have to look at their close relationship with us, as they want us having our say at the EU table. So this idea that we can just work with the US, is not perhaps the view of the US. Spain - Potentially, who knows what would happen if the politics went a bit sour.

Yes and the average wage is considerably lower for the 20 years olds than the 28 year olds in their prime. Hence why we have a lot of young players. In 2011, the average league 1 wage £73,000 and in the Championship it was £211k, which works out at £4k a week approx. I can't really imagine any player being on £10k a week in league 1 unless they they had been on a Premiership or high end Championship contract and their team had been relegated.

On that basis, Tony Blair and the late Rev Paisley are also terrorist sympathisers as they both quite liked Mcguiness.

Mcguiness is a good guy now politically speaking, sharing power with the DUP and his 'friend', the now late Ian Paisley. Arguably, they are both 'legends' for getting on for the sake of peace.

I think its outline for the chaddy and hotel that we obtained originally.

It's not about people not voting labour. It's about people not voting labour and voting for (insert party name here) instead which are two entirely different things. What would be the point of other parties if they simply supported what the big two say?

I know what you mean but if your primary aim is to get more seats, then it is politically astute of them to attack Labour. Arguably it is a waste of time for the SNP and Plaid to bother with the Tories, being that they are not much of an opposing force in Scotland and Wales.

I don't see the issue. Despite some of their policies being mental, they won't get to put them in place anyway as they won't win an election. They are trying to win more seats to get more of a say, which is no bad thing in my book (though i'm not voting for them). If they ever wanted to become a ruling party, the likelihood is that they would have to de-mental some of those policies.

So did I. 68% voted against but only a 42% turnout. Given that general election turnouts tend to be the 60th percentile (used to be in the 70's), it doesn't say much when people claim not to have a vote now. Saying that, I think it would be much closer if voted for again.

Though that is primarily because its a big country. It is in UEFA, Eurovision (ha) it's capital is over this side, it borders other EU countries though yes it is all questionable when it seems to be in a cold war with the EU.

This goes back to the original redevelopment of the ground, although granted the RRE probably needed more work, it now seems strange that they spent more money on the RRE end than the Chaddy. A decent refurb of the Chaddy at that time would have meant no move now.

Yup any smaller party should want voting reform and given that it will likely be a coalition...

I was going to disagree then I thought about it remember that ours is pretty much a two party state where the main parties are very similar but with a slightly different slant.

Alright mate, i've got GB Landscapes in Denton doing some work for me at the moment. They are registered on the Tameside's Trading Standards approved Buy With Confidence Scheme. Can't say they are cheap but I have been impressed with them and their workmanship up to now.

Turn channel/page over, ignore news on tv, watch something else all of these actions are available to you.

The youth team is a long term investment. Why it becomes the managers responsibility is beyond me being that most last less than three seasons.

Isn't that a football thing generally i.e. 'Ritchie, Royle, Holden'?
