Stan Bowles

Just been for a quick look on the Loftforwords website. A poster has commented that Stan's daughter
Tracy, via X, has said that her Dad is in a Manchester Hospital, and that the prognosis is not good.
No other comments as yet.

Re: West London Orbital Railway Line....

Bernard,

Just to add to my previous comments, my old Combined Volume is not in the greatest condition.

Re: Time for the hierarchy at QPR to stand up and back Cifuentes

The circumstances surrounding the signing of Taylor Richards from Brighton are absolutely disgraceful. Up to this point, no one from within the club has been named as being responsible for sanctioning such a deal, surely one of the worst (and there has been a few) in the clubs recent history.
