    Dovi vs. Marquez in MotoGP

    I love the respect they have for each other after the race. I wanted Marquez to win but Dovi deserved it and the last lap was fantastic. It for me is easily the most exciting motorsport and certainly puts the F1 borefest to shame. Btw 352km/hr on a bike is insane!

    When You Retire ?

    I think it's hard to know when to finally retire and if you love your job it can leave a massive void in your life. I might semi-retire and still do the odd day but a lot depends on money and what plans our son has, if he goes to university I may have to continue to support him financially...

    Wasps action

    It's another thing they have changed. Their scarf used to be light blue, white and claret and the claret has now changed to a dark blue just like ours. They are just magpies stealing from others, first it was Blue Moon which was originally sung by Crewe and then of course the Poznan

    VAR tonight

    Weren't they trying something in the women's international tournament last summer that if the ball hits another part of the body and then hits the hand then it isn't a penalty? There surely have to be times when a player can't get out of the way when it shouldn't be a penalty.

    Wasps action

    I think Notts Forest were paying £50k per season plus match costs, but then Nottinghamshire Council see the benefits of having a football team in the City and all the potential money that will be spent from both home and away fans to local businesses, car parking etc

    Can someone tell me what the rent was for playing at the Ricoh when SISU took over in 2007? Did the council offer to reduce it prior to moving to Northampton? For too long the council saw CCFC as a cash cow which did not help our finances. My main issue with SISU/Ranson is that the rental...

    When You Retire ?

    I hope it all works out for you. We don't know what is going to happen with Brexit and hopefully those that want to move to other EU countries can, I am sure if people are financially secure then there is no reason to stop them moving over, I can't remember what it was like before we joined the...

    When You Retire ?

    We have friends who live in the French Alps and they were telling me that education is free in France until they are 26. They have a real shortage of qualified tradesmen, like plumbers, electricians & carpenters, which is annoying for our friends as 2 of their kids are nearly fully qualified but...

    sbs&l group accounts 2018

    Leicester will be paying Norwich for Maddison in instalments over a couple of years so any money owed to us by Norwich will also be paid in instalments and not in a lump sum. I would expect, although I am not an accountant, that each instalment that we receive through the financial year is added...

    When You Retire ?

    I want to retire in 3 years time when I'm 60 but will probably wait until my son finishes school a year or so later. I've got a reasonable pension pot but not enough to retire on now and quite a bit in savings so I suppose I will start using that before my pension. I want to buy a campervan and...

    sbs&l group accounts 2018

    Isn't the Maddison money likely to be paid in instalments and could therefore be in more than 1 set of accounts? That will probably be the same for the McNulty fee.
