How much do you think we wouldget from the Gov to reloacate? Obviosuly they would have to pay for a comparable training ground to be built which I would guess would be into the £15m range plus the cost fo acquiring land suitable. Could we see the training ground being close to Villa Park?....

Doug's not going to stand for that. He will have a quiet word with Boris and everything will be rearranged to Deadly's satisfaction!

It just goes to show that there's more than one way to get off the buffers and onto the right track!

might improve our crossing for one, and maybe we could have a timetable put in place for our next steps to greatness

They are going to have a huge marquee which lights up in colours when the train is ready to go .... it'll be the signal of intent we've all been waiting for!

To get decent compensation we need to send out the right signal, box clever.

This is bad news.

I've been across the tracks, and I know what it's like.
