Anyway, same rules as last year. 3 companies and then points for stuff. Go check if you can't remember (i can't remember).


THE RULES

1 point if they go into Administration and recover, 2 points if they cease trading and go proper tits-up. If they go into administration multiple times over the 12 months then that's 1 point per each time! MEGA BUCKS!

They were saved last year as far as I know. BUT I have a feeling they will be dead by the end of the year.

Oh bugger. I'll have Greece then.

Any particular reason for Hornby? A fond part of my childhood (original and current). I'd be sad to see them go.
