Big turnout I think (hope) - my polling station was rammed! Voted Labour nationally but only had a choice of Tory or Lib Dem at local level. All a bit pointless at the Tories never lose here (New Forest) but done my bit all the same.
Nice of the FL and Sky to put Middlesbrough v Brentford on the Friday nights, and Norwich v Ipswich on the Saturdays. I wonder which one is easier for fans to get to on a week night?
Primary schools are heading for a very hard time in the not too distant future. There are far too many children about to start then there are places, and recruiting teachers is becoming more and more difficult. 8 teachers in my school are leaving and the talk around other schools is that this isn't unique. We need more schools and a massive recruitment drive because people sure as hell aren't going to stop having sex.
Well you can guarantee we won't be playing them at 3pm on a Saturday, Sky will be all over our game.
If the PL could prevent us from meeting them in the first 3 games that'll be great as I don't fancy finding flights home from Australia.
It's a bit of a win-win for us. Nice easy away day on the beer if they do manage it, and cements the skates demise even further. On the other hand, in the unlikely event they **** it up it would provide a small giggle.
