I'm not someone who would normally jump to Thatcher's defence - particularly in relation to coal mining - but I think it's fair to say that most coal mines in the Huddersfield area closed during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Your letting facts get in the way again.

 

[Postman Pat]

How many will they bring on Saturday?

Ex-Coalminers? Not many by the looks of things.

Homophobic Northerners, a few.

 

[Mackenzie]

How many will they bring on Saturday?

69?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Aren't they? Well not anymore I suppose, not since thatcher shut all their coal mines. Now they're just thick unemployed ex coal miners.

Oi...

Also Huddersfield never had coal mines, it was and still is a textile and chemical engineering town as was most of the towns in west yorkshire. But hey, brighton fans are all gay so stereotyping is alive and well and living on nsc

The textile industry also suffered under Thatcher's "economic modernisation" too.

that was more to do with cheap imports from India and the far east under sucessive governments since the war. Thatcher actually provided backing to keep the ICI factory going at the time before it was taken over in the 80's

Not sure you'll get one as Danny (the guy who does them) just mentioned on Twitter that he doesn't think he'll make the game.
