Who do you think is sponging off the state? There definitely isn't help for people in genuine need, although I guess genuine need is subjective. When I thought I might end up unemployed during covid I looked at what I was entitled to and it was fuck all. Similarly when its been suggested that...

Have they created their own problem by saying they will open the roads as soon as possible rather than saying they will be closed for a set amount of time? Although that wouldn't resolve situations like Sunderland where the opening gets delayed as people are incapable of leaving the ground...

For me at least if you want a sensible discussion you have to be open to change but that's the way things are these days. People have entrenched views one way or the other so you end up with two extremes just shouting at each other and anyone with a more nuanced view just thinking fuck this its...

The existing bridge doesn't seem to be particuarly heavily used so I doubt anyone sees much need for an increased capacity there. Judds Lane is a problem. The fact you have stairs leading to the crossing is an issue that could relatively easily be fixed. Just have a walkway on a gradual...

You've answered your own questions there. People aren't happy to pay more taxes when they aren't seeing any improvement in services and are seeing blank cheques being passed to mates of whoever the government of the time is. Taxes have been increasing but I don't think anyone would argue...

I'm pretty sure there was a meeting where someone was banging on about the colour of the curtains at the new ground

this is sadly the way people think now. look at any school during the school run. even parents don't give a shit about the safety of kids, all they're concerned about is themselves.

This system is at use at pretty much every arena in the country and multiple other venues such as all the AMG Academy venues and other football clubs have made the move. Its not an issue for anyone else so not really expecting issues for us when the move inevitably comes.

He should have opened with Putin is operating in good faith and then we wouldn't have needed to bother reading the rest

Certainly does but we're seeing issues now caused by the initial design of the stadium not being suitable for capacity crowds. Is there any other stadium in the country that has a balcony they can't use all the seats in? Generally all things are solvable but its a cash of affordability. You...

Its a thought, although where would the footbridge go to, into the car park? Think there's a problem that Winding House Lane / Hen Lane can't cope with the volume of people and you can only really solve that by widening the pavements but is that even possible. Couple of things I would look to...

will be slightly annoying if he's somehow managed to get a season ending injury on holiday

Given we've just played a trialist in a 1/4 final is there any rule to prevent a team loading up on players for a semi-final or final? As its just a local tournament there's going to be stacks of players who aren't cup tied. What stops, for example, Racing Club Warwick getting 3 or 4 ringers in?

Its widely acknowledged they are. Plenty of American players who have played there talk about their shock about how open steroid use was in locker rooms there.

Will certainly be interesting if its done under international regulations and drug testing takes place 😂

I will happily admit the country is in such a shit state it will take many years to turn things around completely. But equally when pretty much everything had gone to shit there should have been some easy wins ready to go. We're now nearly a year in and I suspect if you polled the 'man on the...

Not sure the fact that there's lots more further consolation planned does much to convince me this wasn't hurriedly thrown together because the economy is in a worse state than they expected and they have self inflicted fiscal rules to stick to. Rather convenient that there's billions in...

Slight problem of Russia being banned from international competition by the IIHF. Not sure many NHL players will be signing up to play if its going to put their chance at a spot on the Olympic team in jeopardy. If it happens, and I would doubt it, will end up being like the rebel England tours...

thats fine but if you're doing that as a matter of principal you need to accept that you will be spending far more than the amount being paid to the small number of people exploiting the system to 'fix' the problem. I think people are under the impression that you just rock up to the doctors...
