Because it's their right to do so. Folk oppose stuff all the time.

Equally just because you are a Muslim you are not a bomb chucking, child abusing monster. 

Absolutely.

The debate just all just gets lost in extremes and polarisation.

There's where usually it's down to politicians to keep things level headed.

Not ours though. Hence you end up with marches to trafalgar square.

Would you want a super mosque plonking on your street?

Place of worship, supermarket, new houses, people will oppose anything.

I paid £80 for blink 182 alone at the arena last year 

Incredible value 

I also paid £80 for the weekend Leeds ticket in around 2001. So he's done well there

They have shut a couple of stages at Leeds because of weather. Ilkley Junior is there, but he has a train ticket and match ticket for Charlton which we got in advance (train) and free (match) so he might change, but doubt is he is capable of thinking that through himself.

It'll all be gone by later today.

Stop being queers.

Trying to burn rubbish to save landfill space. Sounds a bit woke to me.

Out of interest was there ever any opposition to the Normid being built at Burnden, I can't remember if there was

Not sure but the pro’s soon outweighed the cons when the local smack heads were selling steaks and packs of bacon on the paddock on matchday 

[gonzo]

The whole Normid thing kind of goes undervalued as to how absolutely fucking bat shit crazy the deal was.

Who the hell dreamt it up and how the hell did ever come to pass?! 

Imagine a club now, as prestigious as us, selling half their end to build a supermarket on it.

Its fuckin nuts
