Really? I'm not so sure. The costs in nationalising so many services would be astronomical and that's without breaking any contracts.

And still 40 years before present day. Unbelivable. I'm waiting for the comparisons to Labour's 1983 manifesto to start.

I'm still waiting to see the offical statement about the invoice for the stationary order from last week.

If you say so.

Yes, which is why one of Gordon Brown's first acts as chancellor twenty years ago was to hand control of interest rates to the Bank of England, removing the political influence.

And some have brand new iPhones, Sky TV, fags in their pockets and beer in their fridges. In my mind, this is in part down to the want it now = need it now. People drink and smoke too much and are left without enough money to put food on the table. People have heating on with the windows open and leave electrical devices on all day. It is symptomatic of the culture we live in. Its why people are struggling with the NHS, they have the slightest issue and need to be seen by A&E, NOW! I've been there and I've seen it. I've got a cold, I can't get into the GP, I'll go to A&E. There are issues with the healthservice and there are genuine people who need food banks but a hell of a lot comes down to the culture of this country now.

Unison want more austerity.

I enjoy these. Can imagine he'll have a week or three off over the summer though.

Hate the league cup timing. Great pre-season, half decent result first game, now go and get leathered by Middlesbrough.

They can't. Live football can't be shown between 3 and 5 on a Saturday in the U.K.

Not if you know how to get it. Besides, it'll pop up on the streams like everything else I'm sure.

I'm a season ticket holder so it would be just for selected away games. It would make me less likely to go to some games but Rochdale, Bury et al are always good away days.

Nothing really. £4 per away game. Much, much cheaper than some other sports like the NFL.

Can anyone say VPN?

Don't know what the lad has to do to get a game. He did have a hamstring injury at one point. He's lightning though. I like what I saw of him.

Or a vote for strong and stable leadership in the brexit negotiations. I know. Seriously.

He only signed for them in February I think.

Other Royal Socities are available.

Nah, Sky have to pay for UK TV Gold +3 somehow.

Smalley has been a free agent all season.

In January:

Can we stick to the debate at hand? This a thousand times over is my gripe. The club have said one thing and done another too many times and this time it is with £22k+ of fans money.

Quite. Back to it.

I've been a fan for 85 years and donated 125% of the original scoreboard fund and I travel four hundred thousand miles every week to watch latics at Boundary Park and all the away games and all the youth team games and I even travel to the under 5's games. Ok. Maybe that was Paul Nuttall. It doesn't stop the fact that the club has screwed the fans out of something positive. If you don't want to debate it, then don't.

See my post above, from the TIFOSY website. That means that ALL money raised by the campaign will be ring-fenced for fan activities and the screen ONLY, as determined by Trust Oldham.
