So the BT propaganda on twitter etc showing "town hall" meetings etc is a mirage?

No of course not but, as I said, those who are happy with the status quo are less likely to attend public meetings than those who seek change.

It is the same at General Elections but still many people turn out and vote despite not being politically connected otherwise.

Adi will be a happy Hibee tonight.
Just make sure your team don't join the Jambos and Gers in the 'Championship' [Formally known as Scottish Div 2] next year.

I'm not tbh.I have many jambo pals, and while banter is good, the lack of the derby (even if we do lose everysingleone) is a sore one, financially and emotionally.We'll not get relegated, so next year will be even grimmer than normal.

Amazing to think that our Capital City has 2 such rank rotten teams, it really is.

Is there a Capital City in Europe with teams so bad?

The population has a lot to do with it. In many areas, Edinburgh is distinctly the #2 to Glasgow - purely because of population.

Makes Manchester's feat, with about the same population as Edinburgh and half that of the likes Liverpool and Birmingham, all the more remarkable.

If you're gonna use Man Utd/City you have to use Greater Manchester considering one of them doesn't even play in Manchester!

True enough. Hadn't realised the difference was so significant - in spite of working in Warrington for a time, a distinctly Blue supporting area and not greatly endowed with decent - and available for a nomad - golf courses - well, I didn't find them!
