In terms of bikes, Decathlon do good decent budget kit (imho). At £300, this one (500SE) wouldn't be a bad place to start: All Bikes - Triban 500 SE Road Bike Gets good reviews from most places. I've got the earlier version of this (Triban T3), and it's done me fine for a few thousand...

Thanks Nick, that's the way ahead for me then - cheers. :)

Quick question. What the hell is that ticketfast thingy? Is that the 'print at home' option? I've not bought online before (having either had a season ticket, or relied on organised mates, or simply walked up), but I have brought my cushion because I hear the seats on the bandwagon are a bit...

Oh Lord - a big reputation for what? That's what worries me. :)

By the time I've cycled twenty miles, I don't really fancy anything more challenging than a nice cuppa personally. The toughest one I've found within a sensible distance (by my low standards) is Green End Rd, out by Maxstoke. On Strava, it's here. Strava Segment | Maxstoke Hill There are...

Multiple personality disorder? ;)

For some reason, that reminded me of one of these that we used to have lying around in the house (no idea why). I bet Joy's got one on her desk. ;)

I've gotta get one of them! Imagine a few hundred of us wearing those at the Ricoh. "GUILTY!"

I don't think that's an unreasonable approach given past history! Don't get me wrong, I've got my doubts about the whole thing but JR2 looks like a pretty thin case to me, at least from the outside. It'll be interesting to read through another 3000 pages of legal argument, at least for me...

Yes SBT, they're an interested party in that they were part of the deal that's going to be analysed in JR2. As I understand it they could have joined themselves to the case anyway, had they wished. However, unless you know different, there's no scope for either unwinding the deal or claiming...

All fair enough, but if it's truly vexatious and without foundation then the court will bounce it out pretty quickly on that basis. Occam's razor (iirc) proposes that the simplest possible solution is the right one - but there's nothing simple about how any of this has been conducted. With all...

Sorry if you don't make it to Wembley mate, assuming that we do. As others have said, there will be no shortage of volunteers to take the lad, or help with getting tickets etc. should it come to it. You can focus on getting better for the League 2 play-offs next year, plus the 5th round tie...

We're not taking our landlords to court though - we're taking the council to court. Wasps are solely named as an 'interested party', in reality the only people at actual risk of having to pay damages are Coventry City Council (and most would see that as a fairly remote outcome). Wasps were...

In nine years' time west Coventry will have spread out to incorporate the NEC anyway, so it's a moot point CD. :)

What kind of post is this? How on earth is this supposed to spark a good flame-war? ;)

Blaming the fans for the club's predicament is clearly putting the cart before the horse. What's happened on and off the pitch for the last 15 (or more) years is why we're struggling - that anyone would pay hard=earned cash to watch us at the moment is a testament to how loyal a large section...

The New Phoenix on the A45 mate - run by Roy and Joy at time, a nicer couple you couldn't find. Forgave me all of the times I couldn't get the till to square and bought me the odd pint too. Loved the place.

Did you get much done on Mondays, Wingy? ;) I used to have a Fiat Miafiori too. Cracking car, if somewhat porous in the finest Italian tradition - I guess the holes made it lighter. Five speed!

I used to work in the Phoenix for a while (any photos HH?). In fact, looking back, I pretty much lived in there for a few years. In those days the buggers would be hammering the door ten minutes before opening time and ordering three pints right before closing. Ten minutes to drink up, ten...

Christ, I've agreed with Shmmee twice. But fair's fair, I agree. I know a couple of councillors, and they're certainly not bad people. However the organisation itself has made some pretty poor decisions, and I've got some questions about the motives (or possibly competence) of some of the key...
