Did you support that or stand against it? Does it only matter when it happens to a team you happen to support?

Good point. Other than screwing over the local football and rugby club, promoting the franchising of sport, having absolutely no history or links to the City, getting the Ricoh at a knock-down price by taking advantage of a council clearly obsessed with beating SISU regardless of the cost, and...

It's a Wasps story because for some reason the SBT have leveraged a rumour about Wasps buying the Higgs Centre into a dig at SISU. I've no issue with anyone saying that CCFC should firm up plans for both the academy and a new ground, who doesn't want that - but with apologies this looks to me...

Or possibly a better example, under the logic of what is being proposed here - would it have been OK to bomb Dublin in the 1970s?

Your so called 'reasonable opposition' is neatly lining up behind Cameron to pitch us into another war, just like they lined up with him on benefit cuts, and just like they lined up behind Blair on Iraq. As a lifelong Labour man, I'm pretty tired of having to take a Tory line to be considered...

It's a ridiculous and offensive label, this 'terrorist sympathiser' thing - and it shows what a weak, pathetic man Cameron is for having to resort to it. If you really want to take on ISIS, then the genuinely brave thing to do is to stand up against those funding and supporting them to suit...

This team doesn't need to rely on anyone else to get promoted, from what I've seen we just need to keep our nerve (and our better players!) and we'll be in the mix at the end of the season - imho.

Christ, it's hard to know where to start with all this. For what it's worth I think SISU substantially overplayed their hand in the initial negotiations to purchase a share in ACL, and if they did go to YB behind the back of the other parties then I can understand why the deal unravelled. In...

I think that second sentence needs either a comma or hyphen, it can be read more than one way. :)

Sorry to piss on your chips too, but what access to revenue are Wasps going to give us exactly? This will be a hugely limiting factor under FFP, and more so in the Championship if we should ever get there. Almost twenty years ago we gambled the club's future on building a huge, flash stadium...

I understand that's what you'd like to believe, but posting a pithy comment doesn't make it so. For me, at the Ricoh now, we are little more than nothing - a half-empty ground with a London rugby team's logos all over it. I'd settle for something less grand that felt like it belonged to us.

Can I just challenge this Otis, politely. We got into this awful place by building a stadium that was far, far bigger than our needs - surely we don't want to risk our future on another gamble. At the moment we're in League 1, and I see no guarantee that in two years we'll be in the...

I'm just going to throw out a few random thoughts here, after churning through all of this. 1) Regardless of how good a deal we get with Wasps, it won't give us sufficient access to any other revenue streams at the stadium. Being tenants at Wasps is almost by definition self-limiting - FFP in...

Good photo mate, but blimey, you're a lot taller than I realised. :)

You could well be right mate, I've not been past there in ages in truth.

Old Courtaulds site, Old Church Road? I'm not sure if there's something on it now, but I think it's big enough. I have serious doubts about the veracity of the idea though, as others have said, why would the FL need to get involved if it's within the city?

Exactly. Zombies - slow, clumsy, not that bright. The centre-halves of the horror genre (vampires being the prima-donna "don't mess with my hair, no, no, please not the face" strikers.). So, with this in mind shall we set up camp: a) In the middle of a huge giant field, with great visibility...

I'll second Justified, love it. Anything based on Elmore Leonard's writing is usually pretty solid, imho. The Shield, the first series, was breathtaking at the time - first example I can remember of a genuinely bad cop being the 'hero'. Lost track of it though, so don't know how well it...

So, start at 9:00am... then run 5km. At my usual pace, I should just about be done before dark, though the days are getting shorter. I'll give it a go. :)

Another one here for Scholars. I used to end up there regularly after drinking all day for home games. Despite being slightly the worse for wear the guys on the door were always great with me, including the boss. Every now and then I'd get in free too. I use the Nursery and the Hearsall...
