A nice reminder of the days when you could watch behind the goal in the first half and wander around the ground to watch the second half from behind the goal.

World events have brought the requirement for a country to produce it's own top quality steel into clear focus. As several posters have repeatedly said you need to be self sufficient in the event of armed or other conflict. Rather like the US we have hollowed out our manufacturing, preferring to sell bonds to other countries to fund our economy. Trump has called time because the Chinese in particular hold so much in US Treasury Bonds that they are a threat to the functioning of the US financial system. Starmer seems to have woken up at the very last minute, Scunthorpe is on a knife edge. The truth is that both Port Talbot and Scunthorpe should be operating blast furnaces using UK coal, it's a matter of national security the eco loons have got away with a myopic view rather than a balanced approach. Trump may sound like an idiot but he's woken a few politicians up who think that tomorrow will be like yesterday.
