There's a key bit in that article that I'd missed before. The £13m that they're now begging the Council/WMCA for, is in effect the bailout that the Council gave ACL in 2013 (that they voted for in secret, as you'll recall). So what Wasps are actually asking for is that the Council are put back...

The only thing to like about Kevin Maton is that his name scans perfectly into the, "...what a wanker", chant. Maybe we can get it going at the next home game... :)

That they'd even still be considering bailing out a failing sports franchise whilst actively reducing support to those who need it most, is ridiculous. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/council-defends-summer-holiday-food-24713496 Coventry City Council is not fit for...

And you don't get bidders by selling in secret, do you?

It most certainly wasn't public knowledge that the Ricoh was for sale. In fact the complete opposite. The council did the deal with Wasps in complete secrecy whilst actually saying in public that they wanted to "build trust with CCFC before discussing ownership". What you're saying here is...

Unless you are only living in your house every other Saturday, then it's nothing like it. The CBS and the pitch belong to Wasps, it's their responsibility. They chose to take the money for the Commonwealth games and the earlier gig, do you seriously believe that we had some sort of veto power...

Why would we have had a say on it, it's not our ground. Whether we could see it coming out not, there's not a great deal at could do about it. Wasps needed the money, our needs are entirely secondary to that. That's why we need them gone, and soon.

How do you know they've been used 'safely'. Just because no one died at the time doesn't mean their health hasn't been damaged or could have been. Strangely enough there haven't been many large scale studies on the effect of inhaling smoke from smoke bombs because generally speaking no one...

I don't think there's any doubt SISU would sell if the price is right, and I also don't doubt that Wasps are in a pretty tight spot that might end up with them having to sell the stadium lease. There's also not much dispute about the council and SISU not trusting each other. So I guess there's...

They can't be used safely, that's the point. The smoke is either unpleasant and dangerous to breathe, or the marine flares are an actual fire hazard (they're designed to burn at very high temperatures). The way to make it go away is the same as anything else unacceptable or dangerous, educate...

Since when has being able to let a pyro off been a required part of supporting a football team? Standing, I get, singing, even with rude words, fair enough, but what do flares add to the game that means they need to become a protected item? It's bollocks I'm afraid, if we can't generate an...

Please don't take away my fantasies, mate. At my age it's all I've got left. 😁

The last question is easy enough to answer; no one who supported or voted for brexit is going to concede (yet) that it was a terrible decision. On that basis, all that's left is to find someone to blame for the fall-out. Having spent decades whilst in the EU blaming them for things that they...

Brexit always meant extra passport checks at the border. The Government (and Dover), knew about what would happen back in 2020. It was a conscious choice to do nothing about it. The government rejected additional funding for more passport control booths at Dover. Brexiteers like Truss are...

Looks like you were in the posh seats there, SBWM. I bet they don't chuck pints around in the executive lounge. :)

I'm sorry, but it simply isn't true to say that we've grown faster than Europe since Brexit. There is literally no evidence to support that statement. There might be some positives around Brexit (though neither I nor the minister in charge of finding them seem to be able to identify any), but...

Two points really mate, the first is that if you do the sums, she's almost certainly lying about seeing her low-pay, part-time job at McDonalds being impacted by tax. She simply wouldn't have earned enough. Given she's the daughter of a GP and a professor who went on to do a masters degree and...

I expect he'll get called into Starmer's office in due course for being too assertive and upsetting the Daily Mail. Might even be accused of being a bit left of centre, God forbid.

"Deep State"? What a wanker. It's only Johnson's privileged upbringing and his old school contacts at the heart of the state apparatus that have kept in a job (and probably, out of jail) for all of these years. Is the lazy, fat, incompetent, flag shagging, role-playing twat, seriously going...

Fwiw, I got one of the these for the daughter for homework and stuff. 128 Gb SSD, Windows 11, Office etc.. £279 on an Amazon deal at the mo, and bowls along happily enough. I've had a few Acers over the years without any issues. Deal: Acer Swift 1 SF114-34 14 inch Laptop - (Intel Pentium...
