Opened the Kingsland Centre and worked outwards from there? There is a higher proportion of STs there and they are more likely to buy tickets than others, I should have thought.

Apparently all the Palace players are available: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1234924/Crystal-Palace-entire-squad-sale-Wigan-Sunderland-target-Ambrose.html

Or you can get out at Winchester and take a Bluestar bus #1 or Eastleigh and take a #2 to the war memorial. Both are are every 20 mins. It's an 18 minute walk from there. http://www.bluestarbus.co.uk/routelist.shtml

Sound so much better the 'Eurofighter' doesn't it? What do the Germans call it?

Are there any right-backs in there?

It's either 'what have I done?' or 'what am I going to do?'

Interesting. Is that why they're called 'New'?

I went with my daughter to an evening game at Chelsea having driven 2 hours through torrential rain knowing that the game was bound to be called off. We had even bought a programme and it wasn't until we got to our seats that the steward told us. The ones I feel sorry for are those that went to Newcastle on New Years Day (?) when the game was called off because the streets outside were 'a bit icy'. Northern softies!

The lady is questioning why the season-ticket holders cannot have a few days' exclusivity to be allowed to buy their own seats. Going to the match is also a social event and regulars like to catch up the gossip with their neighbours. It is one of the few privileges of having a ST. The ticket office were expecting about 16,000 which is half the stadium, although I would have expected substantially more than that if the main Kingsland had been opened. This is of course entirely a commercial decision for the club but I would expect that a substantial numer of STs will not be going because of the stand closures.

There's also the long-running dispute about subsidies to the civilian airplane industry through military contracts..

It just shows that you should never let economists any where near the real world because all they'll do is slap a tax on it.

Would you lend them money?

I've already had a bity of a go about this and I received a few derogatory replies for my trouble. You have to watch the OS like a hawk and even then the information is very limited. Any joy with the Luton game?

I've just found this on the Southend site. http://www.shrimperzone.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1062496 go to post #15 so... 10 before the second Sunday in April is a two match ban. 15 cards in a season and it's a three-match ban. FTCM is First team Competitive Matches, I presume. (I find this 'Shrimpers' thing confusing because my father played for Harwich & Parkestone FC and they were called The Shrimpers.)

You might be advised to get some advice, It's free. I may be wrong but I think the latest law changes back in April only apply to England and Wales. Good luck.

Have you ever been in a Ladies' toilet? The first time that I did I was shocked by how smart it was. They even had wallpaper! And the handwriting was so neat. That's because they can use two hands.

No problem. The other change for this season is that the suspension takes immediate effect instead of the previous seven day delay. There's no appeal for a yellow card anyway. I've been trying to find the dates for 10 and 15 but I can't see them on the FA site. I looked into this a couple of months ago and found a few newspaper references but all I can find now are obscure links to the 'Football League of West Wales' and suchlike. I shall persevere, I never give up.

They changed the cut-off date for 5 cautions this season from the end of February to the 31st December. The sanctions for 10 and 15 bookings 'remain in place as do their respective amnesty periods' but I can't find what the dates were. http://thefa.com/TheFA/RulesandRegulations/NewsAndFeatures/2009/RedCardUpdate.aspx

The ban for 5 bookings doesn't apply after December 31st but the bad news is there are 5 games before then.

If it is lifted it will be because they have paid their debts to the other clubs involved and if they did that they would not have any money left for new players. Unless someone gives/lends them gazillions.

Bugger! I paid ove £30 for the set a couple of years ago. I don't begrudge it though, fantastic series.

You can only make a post redundant, not a person, so if they employ a contractor then the post is not redundant.

It's all costs plus so where's the incentive to keep the costs down? The manufacturers all claim that the MOD keep changing the specification, but they would, wouldn't they?

I didn't notice that she was blonde.
