I don't know if I've been living in a bubble but who is Mike Harding? I'm pretty sure he’s not someone to sway public opinion heavily or have such a high profile that media will be swarming around him. All sounds desperate wishful thinking on our opponent’s behalf.

President of the ramblers association, or so i'm told.

Quite a good comedian and also known as "The Rochdale Cowboy". Had a hit and appeared on Top of the Pops singing "Its hard being a cowboy in Rochdale".

Used to like him but that will change if he objects/protests over Newmarket.

Doubt they will have anything to do with Newmarket. Can't see Ramblers Association going in for covert demo organising in respect of old colliery sites. Their issues are access on rights of way over private land, not the development of mixed brown and green belt sites. Their profile is mass rambles across land where the landowner is trying to restrict rights of way.

Sounds like someone trying to whip up support that doesn't exist, in the sense that if you tell ramblers that other ramblers are demonstrating, some ramblers might turn up to see what the other ramblers are demonstrating about. Sorry, started rambling then.

I'd say that sounds about right, Slugger.

Mike Harding is a good comeadian alright if he thinks he is going to stop the Newmarket development

Re: The Public enquiry outcome : Sat Nov 19, 2011 11:18 pm

Would get too over confident if I was you, this PI is far from a forgone conclusion. As has been stated its very much in the balance yet, we need to get there on the 6th and make our presence felt.

It was humour, makes a tasty change from acidic bickering.
