The BBC now have a bigger problem if they back down. The tail is wagging the dog. He’s a football pundit. The BBC is not a commercial enterprise so viewing figures that in all other TV drives advertising revenue are irrelevant. Give him a slot on question time and get Alex Scott and / or a...

Lineker and his boats. Probably needs moving. Nick to MIGRATE the thread ?

Nothing wrong with being an economic migrant. My Dad (mixed race Anglo Indian from India) was. What is wrong is jumping the queue. Millions of law abiding folks want to come to the U.K. and diligently apply each year. We can’t accept all, so a system is in place which filters out those with à...

Lineker: it’s ok to use your platform to air your views, claim you were racially abused because you had slightly darker skin whilst growing up in Leicester (?!?), calling USA a racist country (he’s fronting the BBC, a U.K. public institution, not a private network and the USA are our allies) and...

Wilson 6 Two shots got passed him, one would have been a world class save if he has stopped it, the disallowed one was maybe reacted to a little late. What was notable was his giving the defence a rollicking when necessary. This is something that he has begun to do more and more now he feels...

I’ve had the same thoughts as you but he is weirdly effective. He might look and run like he’s been designed on a ZX Spectrum but he does somehow manage. Many times he looks like he’s lost control of the ball and at the last second he manages to retain it. He collects the ball, appears to not...

I’ve looked a couple of times. Not a strong shout.

I think we’ll go on to win this.

Who are we to say MR has got it wrong, but I think he’s got that wrong.

What is that substitution all about?

If we get F&B kickback for drinks sold inside the CBS, is a fan village impacting on a little bit of CCFC revenue? Anyone any idea how the deal works?

He’s only a poor little brummie… (something about a brick and not singing any more) I was young and it was about the Villa. Can’t remember exactly.

I guess another angle to my boring yarn is the view / desire that Frasers have of a packed stadium. They will probably have some interest in having a larger footfall being herded through whatever they build at the side or over the car parks (parking spaces below, stores above) (wouldn’t put it...

I guess we could get closer if we looked at what Bradford City have done lately. £150 (I think - rushing to 190 next year?) season ticket for level 4 football. They get an average of 16000 plus now and they’ve got every factor against them: -“Glamorous” Neighbour in Prem. -Bradford Bulls...

Comparing attendances from now to yesteryear should always be looked at objectively. Up until relatively recently, the number of people actually in a ground was under declared more often than not. Cash through turnstiles often went to Chairman who would pocket some, top up wages so players...

Some excellent points made over the last few posts. I do recall Doug King’s surprise that there were 30000 students at Warwick University. Is that a 10000 per year turnover? What about Cov Uni? The Uni tie-in had potential. Selling Ryton and having our base there with a mini-stadium (for u21...

I think there’s an element of ground location that restricts casual fans (who might then catch the bug). At HR folks could just make a last minute decision to go to town and walk up and pay on the gate, catch a match, walk back into town and get home or go on the lash / for a curry / both. No...

I mean, that team by any measure is poor af. Stokes was “ok”, we got a decent fee for Stevenson who then I think hasn’t done much - the rest? It’s no wonder we went down. Robins has done wonders for us. He himself came back to the club after a year being jobless after being sacked by...

£1.4 wasn’t it? We needed cash there and then for the pitch?

Right, Who’s going to win? Ben 17 clean sheets. Gyok 17 goals. 11 games to go. I’m going Gyok 22 goals v Wilson 21 clean sheets.
