    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    You didn’t dream it. Phase 1 is the new roundabout for which prep work has already begun, land is being cleared and utilities re-routes. Phase 2 is a relief road which goes past the new stadium site and comes out at Westwood Heath Road. The controversial part is phase 3, the existence of which...

    Televising Games in the championship

    Wasn’t last season the first of a 5 year deal? There was talk when things ground to a halt that the EFL approached Sky to change the deal to allow all games on ifollow but nothing more was said so presumably Sky said no. Not A surprise given how much they’ve paid for rights.

    Things that annoy you

    They use all sorts of odd measures to try and make the figures look good and various methods of not counting people who aren’t working. What you really need is a full time equivalent stat.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The press reporting on this is way over the top. We had over a thousand new cases on Sunday, barely a mention, NZ has 4 cases in the same family after over 100 days without any community transmission and it’s all over the press. Once again the difference in response is stark. Lockdown in place...

    Lockdown Days Out

    Cliff Lakes in Tamworth might be an easier option than a beach. West Mids Safari Park and the Black Country Museum are a couple of the big ones locally that haven’t been mentioned.

    Cov Vs Swindon

    Channels run on a shoestring. They quite often don’t get round to updating the listings by the time things are on. Last night I watched tbc v tbc!

    Fixtures

    The Rangers and Celtic games I assume already have a feed produced for their own stations so Prem Sports can buy the rights for next to nothing. This one seems a bit more random.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Thought it was game over when Stokes went but now it looks like a close finish. Was a risky strategy to just go for it and start hitting out, could easily have led to a couple of quick wickets, but it’s got us back in the game.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Great test but I think that brush of Stokes glove might be the end of any hope of a win.

    Has your opinion of Birmingham changed?

    Birmingham Council are to blame. They loaned the club £20m towards the huge amount of work they had done a few years ago and wanted the name changed to promote the city. After fans went nuts over it one of the councillors said he couldn’t understand why people were upset!

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Seems theatres and venues have been told no audiences allowed until 2021 at the earliest and the DCMS won’t even be carrying out further assessments on the viability of audiences returning until the end of the year.

    Season ticket refunds

    Would be interesting to know how many EFL clubs have given automatic refunds.

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    Are you thinking of Stuart Cain? Joined Wasps as Commercial Director in Sep 2017, made Chief Exec in one of their other rounds of changes at the top in Aug 2019 and left in May.

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    Changes at the top again. What’s this now, the third or fourth time they’ve made changes at the management / executive level to try and get them out of the shit?

    Lets get this right

    Not much above what they already pay for the rights I wouldn’t have thought. Despite the distinct lack of anything else to show they’re not even bothering to put half the games on TV, they’ll be available on the BT Sport app!

    You forgot to mention they’ve also just been handed £5m of taxpayers money.

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    A lot of companies are acting like the rules suddenly don’t apply due to coronavirus. It’s blatant these positions will be required when lockdown ends. You can be certain the hope is they don’t find another job, which let’s face It is a reasonable assumption at the moment, and will then come...

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    Much as I hate Wasps sad to see yet more redundancies there. Seems to be a round of ‘restructuring’ every few months. Recognise the name, got a feeling she’s is, or rather was, their marketing manager. Surely one of the last positions you’d make redundant. Would be interesting to dig into the...
