Down from

the official FA 2013-14 handbook

officially a loss of 697 seats during the construction... that includes

I wish I had the time to trawl through the pages and I know that Asda are moving, but the bloke who was doing the tour today (I took a Japanese student staying with us, and yes he has been converted!!) said that we had bought them out and it was going to be a hotel and casino...anyone else heard that? I've read many times that we won't be opening a casino on the collar site, but not this...also that the new site isn't going to open until November 1st.

Interesting :-)

It's been demonstrated beyond any doubt that what happened at Hillsborough was not caused by standing.

That really isn't the point. Do you think a politician is going to stand up and make that argument? It is exactly how it will be portrayed in the media by opponents of it, and no one is going to take the risk of something going wrong for unrelated reasons and being held responsible for it.

As for the Lib Dems putting in a manifesto, it means nothing at all. Even if by some miracle they became the government they still wouldn't do it for those reasons. Governments do not act on every element of their manifesto and never have.

Might be a bit of a weird question, but did your Japanese student go to the Liverpool game, in the first row of SS/CB lvl1 corner? Was standing next to a Japenese student who just arrived in Manchester at that game, got chattin to him, he was quality.
