We are, after all, at the centennial of the Olmstead park plan.
I relish taking up the role. Following in the footsteps of David and his impressive achievements will be a challenging task.
Down in New Zealand now, there will be a lot of celebrating,
He is still on loan for another week and we will look to get something sorted out around then.
I think it promises to be a good Yorkshire derby. But we are definitely confident of winning.
He is one of a number of general inquiries I have made to clubs. It's nothing more than that.
He has been a loyal servant of this football club over a long period of time and played a key role in one of our most successful eras. On behalf of our staff, players, members and supporters I would like to thank him for all he has given this club. He is a life member and as such knows full well he is always welcome around the club.

I wanted the game to be able to take the audience a bit further than what the film could. And the final climax of the game gave us an opportunity to do something that the film could not do, which was to have an alternate ending - obviously everybody pretty much knows how King Kong ends.

If I'm lucky enough to be involved in the Academy Awards in the future, I'll just let people make up their decision without being involved in any politics. Because it shouldn't involve that.
