Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. And I'm Natalie Graham. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Tonight's top stories. Passengers could have died — our exclusive | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
interview with the whistle—blower highlighting safety failures that | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
led to the collapse of a Sussex tunnel. We're live in Brighton with | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
the details. Criticism of the Conservative minister who told a | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
victim of abuse in a Kent care home to "adjust her medication". He has | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
not shown any sign of remorse for what he said to me or the impact it | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
had on me as a person. Also in tonight's programme. Deal or no | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
deal? The Chancellor rejects any idea of a pact with UKIP at the next | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
election — while UKIPs leader claims a couple of dozen Tory MPs are | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
interested. Up from the depths, but the mystery deepens — the unexpected | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
secrets of the world's last Dornier 17. And slip sliding away — how the | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
art scene in Thanet really is changing the entire look of the | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
place. Good evening. Rail passengers could | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
have died when a Victorian railway tunnel collapsed in Sussex. That's | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
the view of a whistle—blower who's given an exclusive interview to BBC | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
South East Today — highlighting years of Network Rail safety | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
failures. The Balcombe Tunnel near Crawley, which is part of the main | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
London to Brighton commuter line, collapsed two years ago, when three | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
steel girders came loose. Mark Norman has the details. | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
When part of the Balcombe Tunnel roof collapsed two years ago, | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
engineers shut it down. They discovered huge steel girders | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
hanging inches above passing trains. And Network Rail engineer who wants | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
to remain anonymous has told us that if one girder had had to train | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
passengers could have died. You are looking at a fatality. That steel | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
bar would have in spinning around. Two trains would have been spinning | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
around. It would have gone through windows, ripped the train. They | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
would have been fatalities. So what happened? We have recreated the | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
situation in 2011. This false roof is managed to water that constantly | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
dripped into the tunnel. It is supposed to have been checked and | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
maintained regularly but it was not. Three of the steel girders that | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
support the roof had partially collapsed. They were left hanging | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
just 11 inches above the top of the train. When safety staff went into | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
the tunnel they found more than a dozen bulbs were missing. These are | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
pictures taken by those safety engineers of the girders and the | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
lease vaults. Worryingly, the report tells us that as far back as 2008, | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
engineers were telling the company that things were going wrong. But | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
for three years what is described as inadequate reporting meant the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
problems were not fixed and bolts were replaced. The company | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
acknowledged that things were not working properly at the time and | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
that staff were not being given right support. Communication was not | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
appropriate and our processes were not in place in a manner that | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
allowed our staff to report failures of that nature in the right place at | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
the right time to make sure they were recovered and repaired. Perhaps | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
most damning of all is the fact that we are told the engineer responsible | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
for 120 tunnels including Balcombe was not suitably qualified and was | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
not given the rights of thought. The tunnel should we expected more often | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
and with competent, knowledgeable people, not someone who has just | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
come out of university of college withers agree on one hand and talked | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
in another. But the company and insisted that things are better and | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
that the Balcombe Tunnel is safe. Arson just today were shocked the | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
findings. It is abysmal. Health and safety, something as dangerous as | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
that, should never happen. It is scary, to be honest. I do not travel | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
on rail very often but when you hear stories like that it put you off. It | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
is safety first test be repaired as soon as possible. The rail regulator | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
has told us they will be closely monitoring the company to ensure | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
they are delivering a safe and efficient railway. Mark is outside | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Brighton station tonight. Mark, Network Rail say they have improved | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
their systems since 2011? They will tell you they are spending | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
more money than before and have an imprint ship scheme and communicate | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
better with their staff. This document has been published by the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
office for rail regulation of the up the situation today and in the late | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
highlight potential problems planned maintenance on the tracks | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
here in Sussex. 74 million people in Germany this made line and they need | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
to know that Network Rail against do a good job and that we have a safe | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
railway system. The Communities Secretary, Eric | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Pickles, has been criticised for telling a woman who suffered abuse | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
at a Gravesend care home to "adjust her medication", when she accused | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
him of failing to help her. Teresa Cooper is one of several women who | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
say they were kept sedated as teenagers at Kendall House and then | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
went on to have children with birth defects. She says she's spent the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
last 20 years trying to expose what happened. Tonight she's described | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the MP's response as disgusting. Simon Jones reports. | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
Revisiting the home she was sent to as a teenager in the 1980s remains | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
difficult, even though it is now closed down. It is hard. That is my | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
nightmare. The BBC investigation into pass on the ninth and to reach | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the keeper was given drugs more than 1200 times in 13 months. She | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
received substantial damages from the Church of England, which ran the | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
home, although the church did not accept responsibility. When she saw | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
her local MP at a public eventually approached him, and unhappy with his | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
first months, began recording. He has not shown any sign of remorse | :06:29. | :07:01. | |
for what he said to me or the impact it has on me as a person, given what | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
I have already been through. And then he was using my mental health | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
against me? That is just absurd. Mental health campaigners say such | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
comments are stigmatising. Just last week, as diet apologised and with | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
fewer Halloween costume. For someone so senior to come out with such | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
language, history meant the offensive, it was made as a put | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
down, it is deeply disappointing. Eric Pickles told us it was never | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
his intention to insult Teresa Cooper, he was simply giving her a | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
franc piece of advice in private. But he has written to her saying he | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
wants to make it clear that he is willing to help her. He insisted he | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
had taken E repeatedly in the past but other ministers had rejected | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
calls for an enquiry. In a moment. How a hospital governor | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
is calling for the contract with a private company to transport | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
patients in the south east should be torn up. | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
The Chancellor, George Osborne, has rejected the idea of fielding joint | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Conservative/ UKIP candidates at the next General Election. It follows | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
warnings from some within the party that growing UKIP support could | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
split the right—wing vote and help labour win. But the UKIP leader and | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
South East MEP Nigel Farage claims "a couple of dozen" Tory MPs would | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
be interested in an electoral pact even if the majority would refuse to | :08:29. | :08:40. | |
do a deal. They do not want to talk to us, they despise us, we | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
understand that. We're pretty good I did a challenge on policy issues. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
That on the ground, we are seeing this in some labour areas and some | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
Tory areas, there are sitting labour MPs —— sitting Tory MPs with UKIP | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
sympathies. The growing threat UKIP pose the Tories here in the South | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
East became clear in the County Council elections in May, when the | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
party won a string of seats. In East Sussex, there are now seven UKIP | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
councillors. And there are 17 in Kent, including several in Thanet, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Sheppey and Swale. Piers Hopkirk joins us live from Sittingbourne — | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
and Piers, Sittingbourne and Sheppey is just the kind of seat that the | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Conservatives could struggle to hold at the next election. Now rightly | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
point out that this has been fertile ground for me. In Swale they've won | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
three seats bringing the total on Kent County Council to 17. The | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
standing MP has pity help the majority that some of his colleagues | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
with smaller majorities might be getting a little bit twitchy about | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
the impact of UKIP and the danger of splitting the right—wing vote. Nigel | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Fry Chas ruled out a formal pact but he has that there could be | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
discussions or agreements likely —— Nigel Farage arch. That would mean | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
you could not put up seats where it meant the standing MP was obviously | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
Eurosceptic or it might mean that the P and Conservatives could run on | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
a joint ticket. It would be nice to see a different party get into | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
power. It is the same old rubbish and you get fed up with that. It | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
would nice to see her new party get involved. But don't think they're | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
going to get anywhere on their own because everyone votes for the same | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
parties all the time. If UKIP team up with someone, songs give their | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
policies, it might be a good thing. For UKIP might be the best option | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
they have got and for the Tories it might get those back for them. We | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
interviewed the Prime Minister on Friday, and he admitted his party | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
has a lot of work to do to hold onto votes in the South East. | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
Absolutely. He has made no secret of the fact that he needs to lure back | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
the traditional conservative voters who might be tempted to vote for | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
UKIP. But the Chancellor was perhaps more robust today in denying any | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
talk of a packed with me. He said, the only candidates that will stand | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
for the Conservative Party in the election Conservative candidates. | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
A convicted killer who claims he was wrongly jailed for 25 years because | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
of a Government cover—up has received a setback in the legal | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
battle to prove his innocence. Cleeland, from Folkestone, was sent | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
to prison in 1972 for murdering gangland leader Terry Clarke. The | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
Criminal Cases Review Commission has decided NOT to consider his | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
application for the case to be referred to the Court of Appeal. His | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
lawyers are seeking a judicial review of the decision. Bus and rail | :11:48. | :12:01. | |
passengers in Kent and Medway could be using a travel smart card for | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
their journeys in the future. It would be similar to London's Oyster | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
card scheme with the aim of making it easier to travel by public | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
transport. Lucinda Adam joins us from Chatham. How would this scheme | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
work, Lucinda? Ten years ago, Oyster card | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
revolutionised the way people paid for public transport in the capital. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
You pay for it online or at home or at the ticket office and then just | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
touching each time you make your journey. Kent councillors are | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
touching each time you make your meeting this week to discuss a | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
potential scheme in Maidstone. If it is successful it could be rolled out | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
countywide including here in the Medway. | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
A Sussex care home where 19 people died had no consistent manager, an | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
inquest has heard. Giving evidence, the regional manager blamed failures | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
in the care of residents at Orchid View in Copthorne on staffing | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
issues. Sarah O'Mara also denied claims that she pushed all | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
responsibility for the problems there onto other members of her | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
team. Rebecca Williams reports. Margaret Tucker was one of 19 people | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
who died in unexplained circumstances at Orchid View care | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
home. It was run by Southern Cross and close down into thousand and 11. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
The area manager deny claims that she did not make enough visits to | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
the home. The aim best heard how there was a lack of staff at Orchid | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
View with a carer sometimes looking after 17 residents. Staff said they | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
believed there was a policy of having no agency workers but that | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
was claimed that the regional director tonight, though she posted | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
on an online CV that she had maintained to zero agency staff | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
across all sites. The coroner said to Sarah O'Mara, I have not heard | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
you take responsibility at all. She replied, I was their manager. I | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
supported whenever I was needed and went to the homes when needed. When | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
asked who was responsible she said, the people who knew was failing. | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
Also giving evidence today was that Boots pharmacist who said she was | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
physically sick after carrying out checks at Orchid View. She said one | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
resident had not had medication in four days. The inquest continues. | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
This is our top story tonight. A whistle—blower from Network Rail has | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
told us passengers could have died when a Victorian railway tunnel | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
collapsed on the main London to Brighton line. In an exclusive | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
interview, the engineer highlighted safety failures that led to steel | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
girders coming loose in the Balcombe Tunnel, near Crawley. Also in | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
tonight's programme. The sculpture that's bringing the house down in | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Kent — the artist who's bringing his work to the street. It does look | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
like the building has slipped down. It is a focal point and something | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
for people to talk about. It is a briskly week with risk of heavy rain | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
later in the week. Join me later for the forecast. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Ever since the private company NSL took on responsibility for | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
transporting patients to and from Kent hospitals, we've reported | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
growing numbers of complaints from people who say they have been left | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
stranded. Tonight, one Kent hospital governor is calling for the contract | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
to be put back out to tender — claiming the company is not capable | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
of delivering the service it promised when it took over in July. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Colin Campbell has tonight's Story Update. | :15:45. | :15:56. | |
Cancer patients Malcolm Allcorn was supposed to attend a vital checkup | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead last Thursday. NSL | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
were supposed to get in there East Grinstead last Thursday. NSL | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
failed to turn up. The company event in the percentage rule they will | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
send a taxi to his home. They did not turn up and I missed my | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
appointment. With all the hospitals being strict on people not turning | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
up, it is not fair on people that are trying to get there. NSL was | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
awarded the contract for transporting Kent patients and | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
started operating on July the 1st. Days later we reported that a | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
disabled patient was left waiting 24 hours to be taken home. Today the | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
company have revealed that they have received hundred 42 complaints. In | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
July the company blamed teething problems but this east Kent hospital | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
Governor believes NSL is not up to the job. You have got a contract, | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
you are now in breach of contract. NHS bosses say they are not | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
proposing to cancel the contract, although patients are still being | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
failed, but the company insists that it serviced is improving. The German | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
Second World War bomber that we were privileged to see be raised live on | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
this programme from the Goodwin Sands off Ramsgate in June is | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
beginning to reveal the secrets of its final mission. The dramatic lift | :17:24. | :17:36. | |
took place in a bid to rescue and preserve the last Dornier 17 | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
anywhere in the world. It crash landed off the Kent coast during the | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
Battle of Britain in 1940. It will now spend two years in a cleansing | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
shower spray at RAF Cosford in Shropshire, before it can be fully | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
conserved. Newly discovered bullet holes have only added to the mystery | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
of its final flight, as Robin Gibson explains. | :17:55. | :18:06. | |
It is like an ancient employment daddy, exhumed from a grave, and | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
pond in the crust of seven decades at the bottom of the sea. That is | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
generally being washed away, revealing the aircraft and its story | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
to a different generation. The short, violent life of the bomber | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
should have ended here after it crashed near the Goodwin Sands in | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
1940, just another enemy bomber which did not return home join the | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Battle of Britain. But that was until divers discovered it was | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
intact, a nine right honourable gentleman: The last Dornier 7. The | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
RAF Museum mounted rescue operation. Now it is a prisoner of war, time | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
travel, stubbornly not revealing its story until now. The aircraft is | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
cleaning itself, really. This morning we found this on the | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
propeller. You can see where the sea life has washed off and it reveals | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
what we believe to be a bullet hole. Underneath, you can see the daylight | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
shining through the deposit where it may well have been hit. That tells | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
us the aircraft was shot at, and shot up from behind. That could | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
upset the theory that it was down by an RAF defiant thrown by —— Flame by | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
pilot Desmond Hughes. Its gun turret faces to the rear, making it | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
virtually impossible to fire forward. From the record, think it | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
is ten to three of four aeroplanes. Until we find among the positively | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
identifies it we are keeping options I have done. Here I am right inside | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
the ghost of the plane, surrounded by bits of the Goodwin Sands. Each | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
day more comes off and each day a little bit more of the story is | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
revealed. They still have not found an identifying number or data plate | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
which would confirm fondly which plane this is. Some key parts, | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
machine gun seats, are missing. There is evidence over the years | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
that divers visit of direct removing souvenirs. There is clear eyed —— | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
evidence that items have been cut from the rack. Some of the data | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
plate have levered off with a screwdriver or something. You can | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
see here, that one clearly has been taken. You can see the corner of the | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
plate there. That has been hacked sort and cut here. There would have | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
been something significant, data plate or something of that order, | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
that the diver has decided would be a nice trophy. It is part detective | :21:00. | :21:09. | |
story, part jigsaw puzzle. The true riddle of the Sands of Kent, and war | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
story waiting for it concluding chapter. | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
And on Inside Out tonight, Robin Gibson meets the specialists gently | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
uncovering the bomber from a cloak of barnacles. That's at 7.30 | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
tonight. We did briefly mention this on the | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
programme on Friday — but it looks so extraordinary that we wanted to | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
take a much closer look. It's the amazing sculpture in Thanet where | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
the front of an entire house appears to be sliding off. Its been created | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
by the artist Alex Chinneck, whose amazing installation will be making | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
people stop and stare in Cliftonville for the next year or | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
so. Sara Smith reports. At first glance, it looks like any other | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
house. But this is a building which is getting plenty of double takes. | :21:58. | :22:12. | |
The whole facade appears to have slipped by several feet, exposing | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
the top floor and slithering onto the ground in front of it. We | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
satiate brick as this unit of stability and we trusted and rely on | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
it. I essentially wanted to turn that stability on its head and rate | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
something that was seemingly fluid and event inflexible material and | :22:33. | :22:44. | |
apparent flexibility. The house had been derelict for a ride in 11 years | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
and was compulsorily purchased by the council two years ago. When Alex | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
came looking for a location for his work, they were delighted to lend it | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
to him. I hope people will rediscover Cliftonville for | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
themselves. This challenges are well documented but its charms are | :23:05. | :23:05. | |
overlooked. We are surrounded fantastic examples of Georgian and | :23:05. | :23:16. | |
Victorian architecture. Alex has a track record of large—scale public | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
works. He likes to appeal not always comfortable going into a | :23:17. | :23:26. | |
calorie. It is really clever, the way it has been done. It looks like | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
the building has slipped down. It is a really clever idea. It is art that | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
actually looks like piece of art and not a piece of rubbish! Very well | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
done. Slipped house will be here for a year and then work. Making this a | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
real hope of Margate. Earlier this year, Gillingham were | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
crowned League Two champions and set a series of new club records, | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
yet, another disappointing result on Saturday would have matched the | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
club's worst ever start to the season, Luckily, their convincing | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
3—0 win at Crewe ended the Gills' poor run and saw them move seven | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
places up the League One table. With news on that, and the rest of the | :24:07. | :24:24. | |
weekend's action, here's Neil Bell. Cody McDonald gave them a precious | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
lead with his third goal of the season. The second goal was to | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
result of a lot of hard work on the training ground. The inch perfect | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
free kick from name—12—mac was impressive. Gillingham were forced | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
to work hard for their first clean sheet of the season, but with their | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
confidence bolstered, skippered name—13—mac was on hand to score a | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
third and complete a memorable afternoon not just for the players | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
but for the fans. It has been a test, after the year that we had | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
last year. We have trained every day this week. The players first and | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
foremost of the number one and they deserve all the credit. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
encouraging start continued with a narrow victory, courtesy of an early | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
goal from Joe Walsh. They are unbeaten for five games. Brighton's | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
impressive six match unbeaten run came to an end at Ipswich. Two goals | :25:21. | :25:32. | |
from 914 MAC. —— from David McConnell trick. Claims for | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Brighton penalty were frustratingly ignored. For me, it was a penalty. | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
But the person who has two whistle, he did not do it, and we can do | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
nothing. Charlton will be keen to forget their pork reformers have | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
early. —— that will performance at Burnley. The rain, I am afraid, is | :26:00. | :26:10. | |
going to be arriving on Wednesday. At least for tomorrow, another | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
bright and breezy richer. Temperature is always pretty mild | :26:13. | :26:26. | |
this week. Temperature was holding up the time of year. A bit cooler | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
along easterly winds. Tonight, the risk of | :26:30. | :26:38. | |
the art isolated shower. For the most part it will be staying dry. As | :26:38. | :26:50. | |
we start the day tomorrow it will be try and write. But low pressure | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
slowly tracking up from the South West. For tomorrow we stay dry. A | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
bit more cloud covered by the afternoon. Again, temperatures not | :27:04. | :27:13. | |
too bad for the time of year. Tomorrow, all of us will be seeing | :27:13. | :27:22. | |
the rain. It will be a wet start to the day on Wednesday. The rain | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
cleared eventually and behind it it is not feeling too bad. As we go | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
into Thursday, there is going to be more heavy rain and strong winds. | :27:33. | :27:40. | |
The good news is it clears out of the way and we have high | :27:40. | :27:42. |
