    University of Warwick - Ccfc mentioned

    There's the light rail system which will serve the uni, there's also a planned rail station for the new housing development which will be a few mins walk away and there's already plenty of buses that serve the uni. With the new junction off the relief road think its about a good a site as you'll...

    University of Warwick - Ccfc mentioned

    That was the one they were going to build on the landfill site wasn't it? Fratton is their best option but they've shot themselves in the foot forcing the local council to allow a change of use so they could sell the land next to the ground to be a massive Tesco. Don't think they even got the...

    Part of the Unis plans is two massive car parks, one right next to the area being talked about for the stadium which I would guess is where the junction with the new relief road will come out.

    End of Woke News?

    With the budget they've got and the people involved its amazing to me how they are making so many basic mistakes. Constant technical issues and being tricked with false names. Maybe its a plan to bump up the viewing figures, make it such a car crash that people watch.

    When I lived in Portsmouth they had plans to build a stadium in the sea!

    Irrespective of the chances of a stadium being built the Eco Park sounds great, will have to take a closer look at what is proposed. Wonder if the Eco stadium idea is being floated in the hope of attracting grants to cover at least part of the cost. If the plan is to get someone else to pay for...

    CBS Arena

    That's where the flying cars are going isn't it? There's also supposed to be a hotel built there, remember the council bending over backwards because it needed to be built in time for City of Culture. Of course that has started and no sign of the hotel.

    Social care report

    Without a doubt, and this report makes clear investment is needed. You can't make huge cuts to councils, who are responsible for social care, without it impacting the services provided. And the areas that have been impacted the most by budget cuts are those with the highest levels of deprivation...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Think there's an issue with context here. You hear case numbers, hospital admissions and deaths and no matter how low it goes it still sounds pretty bad as we have nothing to compare it to. How many people know the equivalent figures for other viruses that we live with? But before we can think...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I'm not taking much comfort from the inpatient numbers to be honest, there's been a 23% rise in 2 weeks. Desperately hoping that the increased cases and hospitalisations aren't going to lead to increased deaths but all metrics (cases, admissions, inpatients, ventilators) are increasing and we...

    If we've done a deal with Australia what is the advantage to them to allow us into the CPTPP to compete with them?

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Even Liz leaving isn't enough of a hint for them to stop making the show. Think I'll persevere to the end of the season as there's only two episodes left and they're supposed to wrap up Liz's story but doubt I'll bother next season...

    End of Woke News?

    Be interesting to see how it holds up. Andrew Neils show is clearly their flagship but has lost 73% of its audience in the first 72 hours of broadcasting. Their breakfast show only did 79K on day one but has already dropped 42%. BBC is over 2m so they won't be overtaking them anytime soon.

    Wasn't expecting a feature of day three to be defending paedophiles. https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/16/lady-c-defends-jeffrey-epstein-and-prince-andrew-in-bizarre-interview-14779493/

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Presume the other person on the conversation is Cummings. Obviously we're only seeing what he wants us to see but this is at all representative it doesn't give the impression of the PM being in control of things, more just going along with what he's told. Should this type of thing be discussed...

    CBS Arena

    Doesn't officially change until 1st July although I believe the Ricoh deal actually expired a while ago so presumably nothing to stop them starting with the removal. Assume things like the website will be updated right away, other things may take a while but surely CBS will want everything in...

    Osaka.

    Given that Ronalado removed the Euro 2020 sponsor Coca-Cola from the press conference and Pogba has done the same with another sponsor, Heineken, should they be thrown out of the tournament? If the claim with Osaka it was the case that the sponsors were more important than a players mental...
