This time, the local council want them to move to a "sports village" at Odsal Stadium, which they will share with local rugby league club Bradford Bulls.

Aston Villa 1 (Platt) Bradford City 0. Old Second Division. 1988.

Anyone tuning in to ITV1 late on Saturday afternoon will have been greeted by the sight of grown men sporting silly hats in a sea of similarly dressed people and empty red seats. This, apparently, was Wembley's pre-match atmosphere in all its glory ahead of England's friendly with Slovenia. The St George Cross hung from every ledge in the famous (new) stadium as the national side took to the field and will no doubt be out in force again on Wednesday night when Croatia visit the capital.

For most Sunderland fans, there is nothing finer than taking a player from Newcastle and making him one of your own. When the Mackems broke the transfer record in 1948 by paying £20,500 to bring Shackleton to Roker Park, they captured one of English football's most mercurial talents. Shackleton was a mould breaker, a player who refused to conform and loved to entertain the public.
