Thanks. You can manage the traffic for these things - but somebody has to want to (I know this, I’ve done it). As it is the pilots for our flight couldn’t get through - so a little late 😎

… and you know what, by comparison to a home game it was nothing - no problem getting there, no problem getting away. Metro fine, roads easy. I conclude it was all about scaring folk from travelling.

Of course they do. But they don’t “represent” County Durham. They draw from it, sure but so do Newcastle. No team “represents” its county.

It should be.

No, they don’t.

No, I can’t see that cutting it either.

Not so sure about that Tim. Knowing a little about how agencies work (I ran one for 20 years) I expect they have a set of possible ideas - there are only so many ways you can go with it if you rule out a ‘new idea’. I like what we have, but what they say about the issues is true.
