I used to work at Alderley Edge - far too posh for me there.

West Ham, Wolves and Leicester don't seem to havebany trouble so not sure it's needed. It's more about the money more than anything.

What we need is an Amazon Video deal: money or nothing.

Burnley-over-Blackburn sounds good, ( though I'm not sure it makes us sound any posher).

West Towneley Sporting Village

1) You can live in Manchester or Cheshire
2) Video of the players driving down the drive to Gawthorpe in their flash cars, then drone shots of the training ground.
