Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

..but i'm rather sad that it's not only an All England final, it's not an all NW Final which would really have sent out a message of where the power..

No need to feel too sad, the only connection the clubs have got to the NW these days is that is where the stadiums happen to be, the owners/managers and 98% of the players aren't from this country so certainly not a region of it.
