    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Excellent post from Hayseed Dixie of all people. Still got a lot of contacts in that industry from my time working in it and its desperately sad seeing people losing their jobs and being told they aren't viable when they are ready and willing to work but being prevented from doing so by the same...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    The idea of a white knight was being floated in the other thread, is that realistic? There won't be many people in the area who have a strong enough connection with them to be willing to cover tens of millions every season in losses. There's always the prospect that as with the takeover of...

    When this idea of a circuit breaker lockdown was first raised not long after the schools went back I heard a scientist who is on SAGE talking on Radio 4. He said if we were going to do it we needed to do it immediately. Said if we waited to try and tie it in with he school holidays we'd be too...

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    Brilliant gesture from Ozil but the fact Arsenal were happy to get rid of a part time employee of 27 years to save a few quid while spending £45m on Partey, not to mention £1.3m on two players for their U23s, pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with the Prem.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Interesting given that we were told the reason the arena valuation shot up after Wasps takeover was down to the fact the valuation was based on projections of future business. Given that pretty much all their business has ground to a halt, and is likely to remain that way for the next few...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    What I don't really get with the covid deniers is how do they think someone has managed to get every government in the world, every public health service, and the vast majority of medical professionals and scientists to agree to this plan? That's even before you consider what the purpose of it...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Their thinking seems to be Wasps can get a huge government covid loan, which will be on preferable terms, to refinance. Surely that can't happen.

    Money. If you were asked in a job interview why you wanted to work somewhere would your answer be that you couldn't give a shit about the company and how it performs. That your aim is to do the minimum you can possibly get away with, for example not turning up to meetings, while collecting your pay?

    If you look at that chaps posting history on there he only ever comments on Wasps bonds, always thinks things are going fantastically and "I am a holder of these bonds". The refinancing has got to be a huge worry at this stage. That's only 19 months away and it looks like we've got a few more...

    Good luck. I had Virgin a few years ago and moved to a house where they couldn’t provide any service yet they still wouldn’t let me out of the contract.

    Whatever happened to “an official announcement regarding the identity of the new tenant is expected before the end of the week”? Bridge seems to have gone quiet on that.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    What a surprise that this has come out a few days after the Telegraphs ‘everything is great’ articles. Whatever happened to the promised announcement of a big new tenant? See they are charging £60 to watch the next game at the Ricoh in a bar which I think overlooks the pitch yet claim nobody...

    I can't see Robins making any move for him, we're past that window of opportunity. Not sure at this level we can afford a luxury player who can't be bothered to turn up for team meetings. That said Robins knows him better than we do and if he decides its worth a go I'd trust his judgement.

    There was a US epidemiologist embedded with the Chinese CDC as an 'early warning system' as there was a widespread belief that China wouldn't be open about any emerging issues and would instead downplay their seriousness or even attempt to cover them up all together. Trump pulled funding for...

    We've made several plans in recent years, the Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Strategy in 2011, the Health and Social Care Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response in 2012 and Pandemic Influenza Response Plan in 2014. Then there was Cygnus a 3 day exercise in October 2016 to test...

    Like the crap about trying to get the club back to the Ricoh when the leader of Coventry Conservatives is on the record saying the actions of the council have cross party support.
