That'll explain why Merseyside moved from Speke to Woodvale then..
No. That was because the portacabins were falling apart as the Airport kept moving them around, as they couldn't decide where we could build a proper base. Plus ATC would keep us waiting for a Squeezyjet 5 minutes away when we could be clear in less than a minute, and moving to Woodvale saved us about £50000 a year in rent and landing fees.
