    The future of the club

    As the saying goes 'even a stopped clock is right twice a day'. Its the old issues of running a football club vs running a business. As football fans we want money spent and call upon the owners to write blank cheques with, at best, a very slim chance of a return. But from a business...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    My Dad is in the at risk category and has followed all the government advise which essentially means he hasn't left the house since this whole thing started. He got taken into hospital Christmas Day and now has covid. As the doctor put it to me there is not a single patient in hospital who is...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Keep seeing this mentioned on here but can't find any source for it when I google. Where has it come from? That would equate to what, 130 deaths in total if the whole population of the UK got covid yet there's already been 317 deaths reported this year.

    The future of the club

    Not sure its that simple. Staying a mid table championship club is OK in theory but with one of the smaller budgets in the league it seems inevitable to me that at some point relegation is inevitable. Of course the big question then would be are we capable of getting back at the first attempt...

    There's a terrible US versions of Spaced and The IT Crowd but they look like masterpieces compared to the US version of Peep Show. Apparently a US version of The Young Ones exists, or at least a pilot, but it was so bad it never made it to air and never got leaked. There's a remake of This...

    Somehow I can't see people in the UK giving up alcohol due to the negative impact it has on your immune system.

    Match Thread Derby (H) FA CUP

    Certainly wouldn't risk anyone carrying a knock and would defiantly be considering giving somelike Jones more minutes in a non-U23s game. The lack of fixtures the last few weeks complicates things, will probably mean we see more first teamers than we might if this was coming off the back of a...

    Did SISU drop their European Court Case ref Coventry Council?

    Depending how Wasps intend to refinance we might get an answer at that point. If they intend to do something similar to the bond issue they would surely have to flag up an ongoing issue like this.

    Can only gusss but given the point has always been not to overwhelm the NHS then the threshold will be when we can go about daily life without a risk of the NHS not being able to cope with the number of hospitalisations that generates. While I dislike the 'its just like the flu' I suspect that...

    Ghislaine Maxwell

    Can only speak for myself but if someone accused me of being a pedofie I'd want it to be in court ASAP to prove beyond any doubt it wasn't true. I wouldn't be spending a fortune trying to find any legal technicality to get the case thrown out.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    If 30% of paid ticket holders for Wasps games are no-showing that surely has to be a worry. Even if it is replicated across the league it is just further proof that people aren't really that bothered about rugby. Looking at our attendances and lack of available seats in many blocks I'd be...

    EFL suspend match day Covid testing.

    Clubs are still testing as they deem it a responsible thing to do in terms of player welfare. The EFL have only said it is no longer mandatory. If a club on the day of the game says they don't have enough players to fulfil the fixture due to covid the EFL can't really force them to play.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There's no perfect solution that will 100% guarantee nobody getting covid. Its about finding a balance where mitigations have minimal impact on peoples everyday lives, especially if this is going to be around long term. Why are vulnerable people advised to avoid the unvaccinated if it makes no...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The thing that is often missed is that there will be a group of people locked away in their homes while everybody else carries on as normal so at some point a choice has to be made if the group that suffers should be the vulnerable or those who take the choice not to be vaccinated. The advise...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    That's what I find frustrating with Wasps supporters. This has all been obvious from day one and pointed out on here over and over again, and those that keep an eye on their forum have said they have mocked SBT for saying those things. Over 4 years on Vaughan comes out with the same thing we've...
