Well yes obviously it's a tragic situation and her and her family. But let's take a step back here. For a start we don't even know if the two events are connected at the moment. Clearly there is a chance they are, but equally there is still a possibility, however small, that the two are...

I agree. It was a silly prank and I can't imagine how bad they will feel when they hear about this. Now they will have to face trial by media. I feel a bit sorry for them.

They are probably missing out on 5 to 10 thousand ticket sales every match. Several million pounds revenue a season. They'd be foolish not to consider expanding. What yours figures do show is that if they can average around 30,000 if and when they expand with their lower population, then what...

It would double the number of trains between Falmer and Brighton, where additional capcity is most needed. I think you are overstating the problems caused by the trains going the other way serving different destinations. People currently travelling to HH via Lewes would switch to going via...

It's due to be resignalled. Difficult to find specific details on what is happening, but this is from the Staff and Visitor Travel Plan: "In the medium term future Network Rail are planning to up-grade the signalling on the Brighton to Lewes section of the east coast line, which will double the...

Seagulls Travel pick up in Havant I believe. Is that any use to you?

I'm still grumpy about the Hostesses going. Who the hell is going massage my ego and pretend to find my jokes hilarious now?

In isolation I suppose, but having stated above this that the ethos is to use local suppliers and keep the customers happy it's not very likely that they'd do something as universally unpopular as this. Besides which they make an awful lot of money from sales of pies and Harveys so it would...

Have you actually read the email?

Liverpool?

This is from the London Midland website's FAQ. You won't be able to pick them up at the station, but the implication is there is a way to get your tickets. Question: I no longer have the credit/debit used to purchase my ticket as it has been lost or stolen. How do I collect my tickets? Answer...

He was having a stroke.

I hope for their supporters sake that they manage to control their debt. If you look at how their debt has rocketed in recent years they will struggle to do so. I'd be worried if I were a Bolton supporter. They will have to cope with a double whammy of rising interest payments and massive falls...

How the debt was accumulated is very relevant. Ours is from capital investment which has massively boosted our income. Theirs is from running a large operating loss for several years from rapid wage inflation. We pay no interest. They pay interest. Their debt is likely to increase over the...

It's a couple of years old, but here is an excellent article on the state of Bolton's finances (written by an Albion fan in Switzerland incidentally): http://swissramble.blogspot.com/search/label/Bolton%20Wanderers They have been running at an operating loss for the last few years and have...

Theory Four. Form is an illusion. Sequence of results can be explained by the significance chance plays in determining results, especially when the relative strengths of the opposition are taken into account. When assessing the strength of a team, supporters give far too much weight to the...

You make it sound like building from scratch is harder, but that's exactly the reason it's taking so long isn't it? The challenge is to effectively rebuild one of the busiest stations in the country whilst maintaining an (almost) fully operational station at the same time.

Pork bellies.

The contract with Azure is for 5 years. It was reported as being worth £18M, but how accurate this figure was I have no idea. The catering contract covers all lounges and concourses, plus non-match day catering (for meetings, conferences, Christmas parties etc). It's difficult to say what...

I'd say Frankel pips past winners Nigel Mansell and Michael Owen in the personality stakes.
