Agreed, but to have it on internet sales is daft. That said, as it's £3 per transaction and as I'm buying between 2 - 8 away tickets at a time I can live with it. It it were per ticket I'd be 'kin fuming.

I would suggest reading both Max Hastings and Anthony Beevor's books on the Normandy campaigns. D-Day was a doddle compared to the battles, especially for the British and Canadians whose main aim was to suck in German reserves, that lay ahead that summer. I spent three weeks last summer in Normandy exploring the beaches, battlefields, memorials and cemeteries of the Normandy campaign. It was a very moving and thought provoking experience especially where I was based was in the direct line of advance of Operation Cobra and the devastation that it bought. For 20+ years I've been paying regular visits to the main cemetery at Bayeux and laying flowers on a particular grave on an unknown British sailor killed on June 6th 1944. I feel duty bound to visit. I can't explain but it's to do with a feeling that I want him to know that he'll never be forgotten.

Same here. The cost at £277 for the pair of us means I really don't mind missing some of the mid week games.

But corp has always told us that the debt wasn't big and the sky money would sort everything out. He wasn't wrong was he? Well I never.

Dune is Stanley and not Chester. Chester was the very strange Matt.

Thank you. The very thing I was trying to find out. I've no issue with £3 per transaction as I get my 2 plus Corky Morris's and if it's just an extra £3 for the 5 - 8 I buy then I can live with that.

POTD will be my prefered option for northern/midland away games.

And have the question lost in the mass arguments? No thanks. Thanks to Ron I now have my answer.

Thanks for the input knob jockey. I can't be arsed to trawl through all the threads regarding one specific point.

Just got back from my jollies with the kids to find I have to shell out a 'kin large wad of dosh up front pronto but I'm very narked about this £3 fee. As I live 180 miles north of SMS nipping in for an away ticket is not an option but I can't see any clarification if it's for away tickets as well. If it is, and I attend the same amount of away games this coming season, it will cost me an extra £90 for me and the nipper to support our club. That just can't be right.

She can't talk with her mouth full.

Good stuff although I've been 'kin owned twice tonight (Sabotage Salvage & HQ Scrapyard) so I'll leave it alone until tomorrow!

We cannot just get rid of them so the argument is redundant. However, only a fool, usually a tory, believes that tourists wouldn't still come to see all the trappings if the royals weren't there.

But of course he denied he was Stanley for a very long time and is now trying to re-write his own history. I suppose I should pity a middle aged man living at home with mum, in a low skilled job in logistics, who loves Nazi Germany and believes Darwin proves whites are superior. Strange how we can all remember Stanley saying Europe would have been better off with a Nazi victory and how we should have taken the deal in 1940 but Stanley has forgotten.

Stanley may want us to forget his previous postings regarding race & his admiration for Nazi Germany but some of us have long memories. Do you still believe that Europe would have been a better place if Nazi Germany had won Stanley and if we had taken the deal on offer in 1940 or is that another of your views that you've changed and hope we don't notice?

Please remember that Stanley believes Darwin proves the white races are superior to the black or brown races and that the Nazis were misunderstood.

Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

It works for the French!

It's not shock to anyone that you're wrong. Academies were being set up to replace failing schools; to drive up standards. Not for profit and tied into Building Better Schools For The Future Academy status is now being aimed at the very best schools ahead of the others. Even someone as limited as yourself should be able to understand that, but I doubt it.

The original idea has been, IMHO, successful despite my initial misgivings. However, this new idea seems to be nothing to do with the original ethos behind academies and simply a way of stripping away LEAs. God forbid that they all go down the Thomas Telford route! No doubt those who have no idea how education works will think it's all rosy and good but, on my initail reading on the subject, I have major concerns regarding a two tier system. I'd be more interested in how they are going to deal with the failures of primary schools in poor white areas which then feed into the secondary school sector. I'd like to think they'd have the sense to bundle in adult and family learning in these clusters as that approach is starting to have real results.

Thought so. Thanks, I feared I'd missed something vital!

No, we went into administration but we, IIRC, didn't formally enter a CVA. I've kind of blotted that whole period out of my memory. :smt103

Not as I recall we didn't. I can't remember creditor meetings or how much in the £ we were offering.
