Re: Access for home fans

Getting in and out to and from the disabled fans’ stand at that corner is scary enough as it is. This is going to be dreadful for me - and my fellow fans in that stand.

Re: BFC Women Go Pro!

Newcastle get crowds of above 2k at their games. They sell separate season tickets for the women’s games and play at the rugby stadium next to SJP. The fans take flags and banners and really get behind the team. Amanda Staveley championed it when she was on the Board.

Felt really sorry for the woman on duty - clearly n...

Re: Medical Degrees

The success of any Apprenticeship programme depends to a large degree on the quality of supervision offered to the student. Do we have enough existing experienced doctors to be able to do that effectively? My experience of Nursing Apprenticeships is that hospitals aren’t very good at running them.

Hotel in Hull, staying for work. Coming back from drinks with friends, had to share the lift with a ‘lady of the night’ and her client, both of whom were off their faces. Then had to listen to them through the paper-thin walls for what seemed like hours. Must have cost him a few bob!
