The WMCA grant application technically is but given Reeves was Chief Exec for the WMCA its not a huge leap to think he still has contacts and potentially influence there. Wasn't there also a meeting of the council after the news of the grant broke where assisting Wasps was mentioned so just...

Balls going round corners this morning, will do well to avoid the follow on from here.

Another Brexit bonus

Hands up if you thought this kicked off at 3, good start to the season from me!

Have they forgotten its a test and not a T20? 35 off Broads over.

They're close to being sold out for every game don't you know. Must be true it was reported in the Telegraph.

us to win the league, Villa to get relegated and Wasps to go bust :D

We're hardly hosting the Commonwealth Games, we're hosting a few events that are such money spinners for the local area the originally selected venues pulled out. The judo and wrestling were originally scheduled for the NEC and the Rugby 7s at Villa Park. It takes seconds of looking at the link...

Actually despite the history I was quite shocked at the way the council reacted. They couldn't even manage a meaningless we'll do what we can, just complete dismissal while bending over backwards to help Wasps.

Was it Roy O'Donovan's Mrs that started kicking off with people on social media?

You would have to be blind to not see that Wasps get special treatment. We've had representatives of this board meet with the council and plead with them to assist the football club only to essentially be told to go away yet when Wasps are yet again asking for money they're falling over...

I'm sure there's plenty of people on here who have their own business. Can you maybe tell them how they get over £5m of public money, with the potential for a further £13m for work on their premises. Personally I'm not sure why the Commonwealth Games needs a Commonwealth Convention Centre, I...

Care to enlighten us with how many millions of public money have been handed to Edgbaston, the NEC, Birmingham Arena, Cannock Chase, Victoria Park etc because as far as I can tell they haven't had a penny. Maybe you can also tell us exactly why events couldn't be held at the CBS without...

The whole point of VAR was to stop the huge ridiculous errors. This seems to be going the opposite way. I guess if its instant and the same system is being applied to everyone then its ok but as you say why do they always make changes for major tournaments. Its asking for trouble.

It will stay with Kelly if he's still here but he may want to go elsewhere to play more. It seems to have changed at a lot of clubs in recent years. A club captain who doesn't necessarily play and then an on the field captain.

Don't think anything massively controversial has been revealed. I'm sure the club know its happening, would be naive to think they don't keep an eye on places like this. If there was an issue someone would have had a word by now.

We're bloody massive :D

I would say a lot of people go on the way to work but when I used to do that it was pretty much empty.

Anyone know of any good unofficial parking at Edgbaston? Going to the T20 and forgot to book and for some reason it looks like they've only got two of the smaller car parks operating which are sold out. Don't really want to just turn up and have to drive around hoping for the best.

The 10:30 start thing is odd. The official reason is to not clash with the Blast games in the evening but that's never been a consideration before, not even in the New Zealand series. Are they starting tests early when the Hundred is on and this is their get out when people start moaning...
