I think it shows how detached the owners of these clubs have become, even from their own fans. I'd agree with LG on this, call their bluff. The PL can make it clear that they will be expelled if they choose to continue. The FA/UEFA can make it clear that it would be very difficult for any...

I'd completely reverse this. If Barnsley go up, it's a triumph of smart management and intelligent use of resources. What's embarrassing is that to do well in the Premier League it now seems that a team needs billionaire backers. If Barnsley should get promoted on their merits, by being one...

Exactly this. I think it's perfectly reasonable to call out unnecessarily risky behaviour whether that's at Primark, John Lewis, or The Oak. Trying to frame it as being a 'killjoy' is totally nonsensical. It's actually completely the opposite; behave reasonably now and things can be relaxed...

Could she also make sure the kids are fed properly, please, and to give them just the right amount of homework (not too much, not too little). Surely she could plan for this in the 32 weeks she gets off every year? 😄

There's many a time when it felt like the football was the only thing spoiling an otherwise perfectly enjoyable session. 🙂

Fair enough mate, and I didn't mean to pile into a row with you about it. But I saw the pictures last night and my heart sunk. It does feel to me like The Oak are being very lax in their approach, which I suspect is typical of the management of the place (imho). There's really no need for...

You can get on with life without needing to behave quite like this. Where's the social distancing, where are the masks, and why is there such a huge queue if the pub have managed it properly through bookings? It's completely unnecessary and calling it out as a bit stupid isn't being a killjoy...

Where's the social distancing, or the masks. Why are the pub allowing this to happen instead of having a booking system? It's this kind of stupidity that will cause another wave. If people have got the time and money to go out drinking on a Sunday night it's their choice, but this looks like...

A low-rent racist thug, always has been, always will be. Taking money out of the far right has always been an easy exercise; a bit of overt racism, a lot of fake outrage when you get shut-down or called out, and then a request for cash to support 'free speech'. Ker-ching! :)

Me either, OSB, though if I'm completely honest it sure cheers me up to think that they might! Ah, I don't really want them to go bust, I just want them back in London where they belong, imho, and the Coventry clubs to thrive in their absence. One can but dream...

Afternoon OSB, hope you're well. Always good to read your analyses. The auditors are saying that there's a risk regarding the 'going concern' without Richardson's ongoing support though, aren't they? Or have I misread? Appreciate CCFC still probably have something similar in their accounts...

No Wasps logos visible anywhere. That is all. :)

Doesn't read well to me. Losses up, bond covenant breached bringing increased risk, auditors question ability to continue as a going concern without Richardson pumping in more cash. Oh dear. I think investing in bitcoin would probably be a lower risk option! :)

Also, just to add, with other local Councils closing their centres - if you really wanted to get more money out of Dol-y-Moch, you'd market its services to them. It's got a great USP in business terms - experienced, teacher-led, outdoor education, designed specifically for schools. Why the...

Just to pop back in, the Council are pitching this as a consultation about restructuring and moving to a more 'commercial' mode. But it's a far more significant change than that, and closure either now, or at a later date is patently not off the table. If you set Dol-y-Moch up to fail by...

Just in case this one has passed you by, I thought it might be worth making people aware that the Council are working hard behind the scenes to close down Dol-y-Moch. For those who haven't been there, Dol-y-Moch is an outdoor education centre in North Wales that's been used by Coventry children...

I was distraught too. CCFC and CRFC winning somehow took some of the sting out of it though. :)

It's never going to trump my bright orange MK3 1.6L though, is it. Shiny Vinyl seats, fake leather steering wheel cover, optional removable gearstick. £150! :)

You could make the case that the Maxi was some way ahead of its time. Not many 5-door, 5-speed hatchbacks in those days. My personal experience with the older early Datsuns was pretty hateful, not much better than the brit equivalents and probably worse for rust. My old Hilux is probably...

Another one I'd never heard of in truth. For all that BL and Rover etc. got hammered, there was a lot of talent and innovation in those companies. My dad had a Chrysler 180, and also the slightly posher two litre. Really nice cars, rare even then in this country, I think. I haven't seen one...
