PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It used to be the case that competing businesses objected to planning or licensing and were successful. So an off licence would object to another shop applying for a license, saying there was no need for it. Often, they would win and block a competitor. Bonkers.
That's not planning law. Nor licensing unless the council thinks the market may be saturated.
 
I know it’s de rigeur to say the word “soccer” as a denigration of American Soccer, but you do know it was the original nickname of the sport in England first, right?

It’s a truncated form of Association Football from when Rugby Football was the name of that sport. Once Rugby Football became simply Rugby, Association Football became just Football…but it had been called soccer until then.
Apologies, I was too subtle and I think you misunderstood as a result, my point was more about listing a football business in New York.....I assumed there was the potential for investor confusion as football in America isn't soccer.

Anyway, no worries.

My reference was not about now, but years ago. But even currently the amount of shelving given over to alcohol in a large shop is subject to planning. If a shop changes that, it needs planning permission amazingly.

I remember soccer being quite widely used in the 70s/80s in England. There was “Granada Soccer Night” and “Soccer Six” on telly, and magazines and annuals with it in the title.
Maybe in Didsbury when the tennis courts were full and you had to play the round ball game.

In Gorton it was always football and always will be.

The word soccer only still exists for our American cousins. I write software for the virtual gaming market, our American products are relabelled 'soccer' but for the rest of the world it's football.

Just checked on the OS, still says Manchester City Football Club.
