Should be a nice little payday for us

Many Bristol City fans think they'll lose him to the Prem in the summer (assuming they don't go up themselves). They seem to have him tabbed at a value of 8-11 million (quite an oddly specific range).

Luton bottom of the league as it stands

Oi! My sister went to Lady Verney in the 70s.

To be fair Morrisons turnover around £15bn , quite small beer compared to Tesco £66bn in the UK alone.

The idea that Morrison will sell a site in a prosperous town in the SE seems a bit fanciful unless there is reason to believe it is not doing well there.

The challenge for most if not all councils is they struggle to get their head round the changing nature of town centres.

With the continued growth & convenience of "etail", coupled with multi-outlet shopping centres; the demand for bricks & mortar outlets in town continues to diminsh outside of personal services, speciality & food retailing. Town centres need to morph into centres for leisure, places to meet your friends & family for a drink or meal, see a film or theatre show, go to a gig etc.

So there is a lot of logic in building a town centre multi-purpose stadium that can be used for more then football. How about, like at Spurs, have a pitch that can be retracted or properly covered so it can become a concert venue, or as a stage for other sporting or cultural events. Perhaps then include alongside a decent club shop a public access gym, coffee shop(s), conference facilities and so on to make the stadium a hub for the WWFC Experience. The proximity of public/council car parks, rail & bus links removes the need for parking provision - the club offices could still be at Adams Park, which could then become the match day base for the Womens firsts.

The issue with the local muslim population is down to a tiny minority of rabble rousers, so combat them with positive engagement through the Foundation, Trust & Club and offering the community the opportunity to engage around what interests or bothers them.

I know most of this will never happen, but I dont see why not.

After the Bristol Rovers home game - Match 31:

Many congratulations to @wwfcblue who maintains a small lead at the top of the table.

The top six all keep their positions, although @Commoner in 3rd, @PJS in 5th and @NewburyWanderer in 6th all made scoring predictions. Congratulations to @NewburyWanderer who now has all 'best ten' predictions under 100.

Congratulations to @BSE, @DJWYC14 and @silverfox who all made giant leaps up the Leaderboard - 5 or more places - in a week when lots of people registered scoring predictions.

Congratulations to @perfidious_albion, @silverfox again and @Erroll_Sims for recording personal high spots in the table for the season so far.

Congratulations again to @Erroll_Sims, this time for a new personal best prediction in the season so far.

The best individual forecast in the season so far is now shared three ways - @perfidious_albion and @thecatwwfc for their predictions in the Northampton home game together with @tewkesburychairboy for his score in the Bristol Rovers game.

The table is tighter than League One - maybe 8 points separately the top six. a gap of around 3 points to 7th and then 6 points covers all those in the upper part of the table.

9,700,000 / 498 = 2,000,000??
