Two out of three aint bad + who thought they would do one for England Scotlan & Wales ?
Nice one me
Better put this one on here. Reading favourites with \"us\" second .... but anyone fancy a punt on Goole ?
I reckon Reading will win in England but think the Queen will go one City per country so Goole might be city for Poland ... joke ....
St Asaph (not in betting) may win in Wales and I fancy Perth (also not in betting) in Scotland. Unsure on N Ireland but what a bet you could have with a treble on my selections
What odds can I get Goole WILL NOT win !

Doncaster population in 2001 census 67977
St Asaph population in 2001 census 3491
which one is more representative of a City?
Just to give a clue as to how big St Asaph is Stainforth`s population in 2001 was 6342!
It`s time the council stopped wasting money on trying to gain City status for Doncaster, It`s clear the powers that be would much prefer quaint little villages to gain the honour rather than an industrial Town that has the largest metropolitan area in the country!

Isn't Donny the biggest town in the country? Not sure if that's right.
Anyway, I'd rather be the number one biggest town than a small city.
-
St Anus (its the arsehole of nowhere) is bloody tiny. Looks about the size of Tickhill
-
Hardly representative; Essex, Dunnowhere and Australia.....
Given that Royal Reading is in Royal Berkshire and they're known as the Royals, I hope Sir John M is giving Queeny a load of stick.
St Anus is the birthplace of that great intellectual Ian Rush?
Says it all.
-
That explains a lot. I've heard Rushy talk.

Not read anything else about it, but there's a small piece by Paul Routledge in todays Mirror that says Clegg put the kybosh on it by recommending Chelmsford to the Queen instead of Donny. Not going out of his way to win friends and influence people in South Yorkshire is he?
-
I'm amazed that the Queen even knows who that muppet Clegg is..... :laugh:
He's got as much love for South Yorkshire as Miliband has for Doncaster.
That trip to the KC to watch his beloved Leeds, after crying off a speech earlier, was particularly low even by his pathetic standards.
