Stephen Lansdown raised £47.15 million yesterday, and most of it will fund Bristol City's new stadium. Mr Lansdown also chairs the Coco Cola Championship side...........

Toadhall Saint Posted 18 April, 2009 Share Posted 18 April, 2009 Was told to put money on Bristol going into the Prem in 5-6 years about 3 years ago - when I asked why the response was that they had some good backers that loved football but were financially sound. Sounded to good to be true at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranmere are on the Wirral, so would come under Liverpool rather than Manchester; and if you are including Wigan and Rochdale in GM you must also add Oldham.

Rattlehead Posted 18 April, 2009 Share Posted 18 April, 2009 You were charged with 'thickness' not 'laziness'. Accordingly, albeit perhaps unwittingly, you have merely reconfirmed your guilt of the original charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
