I object to the description of Yate as a town "you've probably never heard of."  How can anyone mention Emley without alluding to the men's FA Cup run by that town's football club 21 seasons ago? But nonetheless probably correct for most people.
Since that run Emley FC had to move to Wakefield, got re-named as Wakefield and Emley provoking a new club to form in Emley, provoking Wakefield and Emley to change their name simply to Wakefield, who then proposed to move in with the new Emley club that had been provoked by the re-naming and other changes, which didn't happen and Wakefield went out of business. Emley's next match is against Grimsby Borough.
Wakefield is the only city in Yorkshire without a professional football team. It's a Rugby League town. |

not sure we'll agree on that. There are some brillant lib dem councillors just like there are some brillant councillors in the tories, labour and the greens. They all have their fair share of workshy dossers. It certainly has never been the case in my experience that one party has a significantly harder working group of councillors better on message. If Lib Dem councillor does not work hard with the voters he or she does not get re-elected. I am not saying they are any more effective at council business of course. All political parties only really work in marginal seats (at either local or national level), but all seats they hold are marginal for the Lib Dems. ha I wish that were true. I grew up with 3 Lib Dem cllrs all my life. Some of them do work hard. The others got elected because they are lib dems in the safest lib dem ward in the south east |

I've heard of Yate. It's that ugly station on the way to Bristol, isn't it? I'm hoping that isn't what the sign says when you enter the place is it?  |

Not like a group of stubborn Yorkshiremen to fall out with each other in lumps .... |

Wakefield is the only city in Yorkshire without a professional football team. It's a Rugby League town. I know. It has the same sort of relationship to football/rugby league as St Helens does.
I went to university in Hull when it was still very much a Rugby League city, now changed to a dual loyalty - although the current City chairman is seemingly trying to undo all the good work done in the last twenty years or so. |

Wakefield is the only city in Yorkshire without a professional football team. I hadn't realised that Ripon City managed to pay their players a full-time wage in the 13th tier of English football!  Unless you mean it's the women's team that's professional? |

Any true Yorkshire man knows that Emley is more noted for it's TV Tower than it's football club. Many a time I have traveled up the M1 only to be reassured once I see Emley Moor Mast I am back in the Fatherland. On the night of 19 March 1969 it disappeared from the skyline when the structure collapse. |

Dr Who, Gandhi, J K Rowling and a quote from Half Man Half Biscuit. Another fine set of previews. I object to the description of Yate as a town "you've probably never heard of." How can anyone mention Emley without alluding to the men's FA Cup run by that town's football club 21 seasons ago? I usually think of Yate as the place we could have visited if we hadn’t been robbed by an inept referee both in the original game and the replay of a Trophy tie against Hayes. |

Well, that brings both of my points together quite nicely then! I used to live near Yate, although not in the ward that's being contested tonight. For most of my life it's been a town the other side of Bristol, not one that you pass through on the way to it (which would be Yat ton). |

I note with interest that the new tower was erected in 1969 by Polish workmen "found in Leeds" and was bought off the Swedish army.

LDEM: 49.3% (+8.4) CON: 39.4% (+16.8) LAB: 11.2% (-1.6) Went today to help out, pretty pleased with that result! The Tories threw a lot at it, during my last round I bumped into a group of them, they rather smugly asked ‘are you having to do it by yourself?’. Didn’t fancy starting a row but did want to throw back something along the lines of our way of campaigning being many times as effective so it balances out More seriously though, it’s a very good result for the blue team, if they’re able to campaign like that across the council it could be a tough fight for us to make any real gains in South Gloucestershire next May |
