But the Amex was designed from the outset to be expanded.
I'm not sure Brentford will have that option, being as (unlike ours) the location where they're building is in a fairly hemmed-in urban area.

And SNIFF around his missus no doubt
Not sure it'd bother TB that much now...........isn't his business more like a private client wealth management or broker setup, not online gaming........?

How long before Smith is sacked and JT steps into his shoes -- Christmas in time for the January window?

He played for the Orient side of the 1990s, the one that we never seemed to be able to beat.

Not sure I understand this post, at all. Can you elaborate?
Are you suggesting that TB's business interests include any UK betting companies? (they don't), or that TB is not British? (he is).
I thought that Tony's frequent journeys "Down Under" were in order to establish his residency outside this country. I would presume therefore that he is treated as an Australian resident for tax purposes (or was).
Following from that he would adopt Australian citizenship.

Did he play in the 4-4 game?

Smith was a popular option amongst the Villa fans I know, so although they were fascinated by the idea of Henry, they're pretty happy. Its a good appointment. Every chance he'll get the best out of Scott Hogan too.

He/Him
Scott Hogan is a busted flush, he's had it at Villa. I think Hollywood Hogan would be more useful up front than him for them.

I would assume it was more to do with his Melbourne born wife.

Well she might have been born there, but it's where the family is domiciled surely? Are his children UK or Australian citizens?
Just checking on the Wiki page for Dean Smith; it says:
"Hereford were relegated from the English Football League after finishing in last place in 1996–97; they had been level on points with Brighton & Hove and with a superior goal difference, however goals scored was the decider and Brighton scored three more than Hereford over the course of the campaign. Smith scored 26 goals in 146 appearances in all competitions during his time at Edgar Street. "
Can't understand the remark about GD/GS, surely GD has always been the deciding factor since the change many years ago from GA.

It was different that season. If goal difference had been in force in 96/97, we'd have been relegated.
As far as I know his wife's family still live in Melbourne.
Bloom doesn't just have Star Lizard as his sole source of income. He is a property developer (see Ikea and 600 homes at Lancing) and has a portfolio which is in the UK, Australia and elsewhere.

For that season (and that season alone I believe), it was GS not GD. A chilling fact, given that if it had been GD that season, then we'd have had to have gone there and WON. Something this team hadn't managed since a 3-2 at Hartlepool the previous November (P23 W1 D4 L18).
Terrifying.
That 4-4 with Orient was also key. Had that been a routine 0-0 or 1-1, then a draw at Hereford wouldn't have been enough either (not to mention the 5-0 at Fans United). Orient also did us a massive favour by turning over Hereford at their place in the penultimate game, while we were beating Doncaster.

I can't remember, and can't find it anywhere. However, he did play 51 times for them that season, so I would think so.

Domicile is key for Inheritance tax. There is no IHT in Australia, although I would think that Tony may have a struggle convincing people that he's anything other than UK domicile.... I doubt that this has anything to do with his visits to Australia though....surely more to do with his wife being from Australia.
Not that season. We finished with -17 compared to their -15, but we scored more goals.
Mind you, that wiki page doesn't seem to mention our 2 point deduction for "crowd trouble" (a demonstration against the board in a game against Lincoln as I recall)
