There isn't always agreement between Councils though, is there - the King's Hill development was pushed through against the wishes of Kenilworth and other councils. If you don't think council messing is a possibility, then what the hell was going on when Coventry City Council got wind of a...

I doubt the Trust will hold off on a response for too long, NW, as least this one has the value of making the media aware that they aren't the sole source for supporters' opinions. If for no other reason, I think that's a good reason to have got this out quickly.

I'm struggling to see where it's possible to pick holes in that statement, as written. It's impossible to go into all of the specifics that we might consider to be the hallmarks of a bad deal at the Ricoh, and if you tried, then it would be far too complex to be used as a press release. (And...

Yep, that’s a fair point. I think the other thing that’s happening is the state of Israel is keen to suppress criticism of its actions towards Palestinians. That sometimes means framing reasonable debate as anti-Semitic, when it quite clearly isn’t. I think it’s the left that fall foul of...

I’m not entirely sure about that. Antisemitism really isn’t a left-wing thing in my experience. I’d argue that this is the side that stands fully against all racism, overt, covert, and institutional. Labour not doing enough to kick out the odd nutter is certainly a point of concern, but let’s...

Happy days, basically. Quality player, who clearly wants to play for us. Played his heart out when he was on loan, I can only see him getting better.

Yep, seconded. You don’t get asked to buy anything else once you’ve got it. We’ve had it (Animal Crossing) on the switch since March and the kids have probably just started to lose a bit of interest after playing every day. I still play it though... it’s very peaceful. :)

That’s Rick O’ Leese you’re thinking of, Irish U21 striker, plays for Bohemians. Brilliant stats on FM, I’d heard we were interested too. :)

In simple terms, I always thought it was greed that brought Wasps to Coventry, not survival. They couldn’t resist picking up a 110 million stadium and associated leases for an absolute pittance, and then leveraging it to make themselves the ‘richest club in England’ (if not Europe). They did...

I’ve been following this thread for a while now, and hoping against hope that there was some other reason why FM had disappeared. Whether I agreed with everything he said or not, whether we wound each other up sometimes or not, it all feels completely irrelevant now. It seems we’ve lost one of...

On the contrary, I think the response should be same - they should be held and arrested. If we feel brave enough as a group to challenge people with knives (allegedly) and pin them in a corner until the police arrive, then why aren't we brave enough as a group to do the same for this kind of...

It's funny, because when I watch that video, then from point the police arrive all I can see is everyone else behaving exactly like hooligans - drunken, cowardly ones at that. If you're trying to defend this sort of shit behaviour (or indeed any sort of shit behaviour) by needlessly comparing...

To go full circle, Jim was a regular in the Chestnut Tree on Craven St. I often bumped into him at the bar, and he always had time for a chat about City. A true gentleman who passed on a little while ago, and though I don’t go in there often it’s not quite the same without him. What a voice!

I know the square root of bugger all about art, but his stuff looks brilliant to me. A load of those bits of Tile Hill still look exactly like this and haven’t changed since I used go to school round the corner at Templars, a very long time ago... :)

That’s The New Star. It’s long since been knocked down, but if you look closely through all of the weeds you can still see the old tiled floor of what I assume was the bogs. Every time I go past I think of those ancient Roman mosaic floors they unearth on things like Timewatch... maybe in a...

I’ve been in there for a pint. Wasn’t too scary, and I’m not exactly a hard nut. I had a quick chat with the barmaid, nodded hello to the locals, drank my beer, went home. Nobody bothered me - I don’t think you’ll get hassled just for being a stranger. Reminded me a bit of the Brewer and...

Completely missed this. The Stranglers are brilliant, though I’d (politely) put ‘Get a Grip on Yourself’ as the one that demonstrates how good he was. Kind of like Bach on speed, with some heavy bass for back up. Off to listen to it now...

Definitely. It’s a compelling piece of television... takes a little while to pull you in, but then it’s hard to stop watching.

I think SISU have burnt their bridges with most fans, but if Wasps were to fold up, and the club get the stadium at the sort of price that Wasps paid for it, and we’re back in the Championship, then SISU might find it’s not a bad time to sell... Lots of ifs there, I guess. :)

It might be a bit more scary if you were on the front line and being asked to risk your safety because of a lack of proper PPE and testing. Or having to work hugely long and stressful shifts, without adequate support or training, because of chronic long term underfunding. I can’t see why...
