    Earlier we brought you the story of the CLA urging Bonfire Night organisers to ban sky lanterns from their displays, because of the risk to properties and livestock.

    Here are some of the comments we've received on our Facebook, external page: 

    • Lynne Walker, external: Those things are the worst idea anyone has ever come up with.
    • Duncan Moore, external: Don't forget that these often get mistaken for distress flares on the coast and take up valuable time for Coastguard and lifeboat crews.

    Norwich fans will be disappointed to see Gary Hooper leave the club, even if it is on a short term deal.

    He's probably the most natural goalscorer on the books and offers the team something different up front. Costing the club £5m back in 2013 - in my opinion has never really got going at Carrow Road.

    Could this move be made permanent in January? It remains to be seen - but Wednesday were close to signing him in August so have been long time admirers.
