:00:46. > :00:51.the cost of rail travel. I'm paying �155 a month to travel to Leicester.
:00:51. > :00:57.That will go up to 170. It is a small increase per month but it
:00:57. > :01:01.eats away. I'm going to Devon to see my mum. It's cheaper to get a
:01:01. > :01:04.train to Manchester and get down on the coach than it is to get the

:01:51. > :01:54.spent moving traffic away from the centre of Loughborough so that it's
:01:54. > :01:58.for pedestrians only. The local council says it will improve safety

:02:01. > :02:07.will destroy the garden she's created for her husband who has
:02:07. > :02:12.Parkinson's disease. I detest it, of course. I don't
:02:12. > :02:15.want it and I don't think anybody wants that.
:02:15. > :02:19.The thought of sitting in that house while the bulldozer does it

:02:49. > :02:53.something they want to hang on to. They had a beer brewed for the year.
:02:53. > :02:56.It is nice on just about every level.
:02:56. > :03:00.All the fans here are long-term fans. They haven't just turned up
:03:00. > :03:04.for the glory today. We are a small club and we don't
:03:04. > :03:07.have much to boast about but what we've got we are proud of.
:03:07. > :03:10.It is not hard to persuade the old players to come back and enjoy the
