Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

For those unable to travel, Bridge Radio http://www.thebridgeradio.net will have live commentary from the Barwell game on Bank Holiday Monday 25th August - many thanks to Richard Nevin and Adam Parkes.

Here's the quick mention of Halesowen Town (and burgers) on Tuesday’s BBC Radio 5 Live Drive programme – try about 01:50 mins in (or 01:48 mins if you want the full economics lesson).

Finally, Radio WM's Daz Hale is looking to present his show live from the Grove from 12 noon - 2pm on Non-League Day, Sat. 6th Sept. More on this nearer the time I'm sure.

Having listened to the preceding bit too, I was reminded that the statutory limit on rail fare increases is RPI increase (in July) + 1% which means that the rail price increases next January will be limited to 3.5% ie 2.5% RPI increase + 1%

Surely it should use CPI rather than RPI as CPI excludes housing costs? The net effect using RPI being that if the price of mortgages increases this has the net effect of increasing the RPI and therefore has a direct effect on the cost of rail travel. Basing the rail price limit on CPI would remove this effect.

...I really must get out more

Well said Noggin... I was thinking exactly the same!

Excellent news all around!
