Evening all
Was just reading an insightful report on the future of our cities & i was struck by how much Derby was in decline.
The report says that the performance of our largest cities will remain crucial, with 11 of Britain’s major cities (London, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield) providing more than one in three (37 per cent) of Britain’s private sector jobs.
The report also identifies six vulnerable cities which may not feel the full benefits of national economic recovery for some time: Sunderland, Liverpool, Birkenhead, Derby, Swansea and Newport. These places will be affected more by Government spending cuts, given they have low skill levels and levels of business activity, more people employed in the public sector, and more people claiming unemployment benefits. They will need additional financial support from central government, and a realistic local plan of action.
My question is: How will this terminal decline affect the football team in terms of gates, revenue etc in the next twenty years?

Looks like Joe Public has finally cottoned onto the fact that the Homeopathy crap they peddle doesn't work.
