We can only dream....

[Gingeletiss]

The chairman of financial adviser HARGREAVES LANSDOWN is selling nearly a fifth of his stake in the business, to help his football club.

 

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...........

 

 

If only:(:(:(

I doubt he's giving it. Bristol is a very large city and the capibility of filling a large stadium. Good business i suspect

[Toadhall Saint]

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!

Bridge, geography was obviously NOT your strong point at school, was it ?

 

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.

 

Overall 7/10, could do better

You're right - I was crap at Geography. I got those teams off a Google link to Manchester area football clubs.

 

Guilty of laziness as charged m'lud

[Rattlehead]

You were charged with 'thickness' not 'laziness'. Accordingly, albeit perhaps unwittingly, you have merely reconfirmed your guilt of the original charge.
