    Holding Wasps to Account

    That's a little miseading is it not? The last deal with Compass was said to be worth £195 million by the end of its contract (how much of that goes to Wasps/ACL I'm not sure, but it will be many millions over 15 years). Wasps/ACL get paid millions by selling the catering rights in advance - so...

    Holding Wasps to Account

    There's a couple of things you can point to. Opting to go for the AHC when they had explored 17 other options seemed a little questionable. The second was stopping the Ricoh negotiations citing legal action against a 3rd party. If there was concern that they may be drawn into future legal...

    Holding Wasps to Account

    You know as well as I do that there is huge latent support for the club. It is still the city's most important cultural asset. We've seen (going back a long way I know) the impact the club can have - 250,000 on the streets after the cup final and all that. Nothing else in this city has the...

    Holding Wasps to Account

    Because they are still in the process of trying to win hearts and minds in a city where many people are cynical and sceptical of their presence, and also where a large number of people care about the football club. Looking at it from their side, and given the sour taste that was left by the AH...

    Holding Wasps to Account

    There is no obligation as such to do anything, but perhaps there is a moral obligation. They did after all pick up a huge lesiure complex for next to nothing, one that was built for the football club, and which with absolute certainty would not exist if it were not for CCFC. Of course, the...

    Idiots with the whistles

    Aye. Either that or I need to get my ears dewaxed! My eyesight is going as it is, if my hearing follows then I'm truly fucked.

    Idiots with the whistles

    I am in 16 too and nobody around me heard it. I can only assume that as we were in the part of the ground where they were being blown, we had become somewhat immune to it and it just didn't register.

    Stuart Beavon

    Two encouraging performances from him. Would be really glad to be proved wrong because I had written him off earlier in the season. Has proved he can be quite effective and a nuisance. Would be good to see him bag a couple to boost his confidence. Was is Thomas who scored the offside goal...

    Idiots with the whistles

    That's fair enough. Like I have said, while I did not personally recall hearing one at that point, and being in line with the incident it looked like a genuine mix-up with 2 players who both thought the other was going for the ball. Clearly though there was a whistle, as a lot seemed to have...

    Idiots with the whistles

    I don't think anyone is pretending anything. I genuinely didn't hear it, and it was not mentioned by anyone around me, or by the people I was with. Clearly though, people did hear it, and they are not making it up. What I am not sure about either way is whether it led to the goal. My...

    Idiots with the whistles

    That's correct in terms of the timing - but my reading at the time was that the two players paused because they thought the other was going for the ball. I don't know, and we may never know for sure, but given that whistles were being blown all second half with seemingly no impact on the...

    Idiots with the whistles

    While I agree that the moment in question was before the footage kicked in, I don't see why you've got all abusive, he wasn't being confrontational. I know we're talking about when the ball was played out wide, but I don't know if it had an impact, I certainly didn't notice it at the time (but...

    Another protest?

    It was an odd substitution. He's the sort of player you bring on when chasing a game and trying to unlock a defence, rather than when defending a one goal lead. If they were looking for someone to be an outlet and catch them on the break, there were better options. Nothing against Ruben -...

    Idiots with the whistles

    Have to say, very surprised to come on here and see people blaming the goal on a whistle blast. I was sat not far from where whistles were being blown, and I did not notice it in relation to the goal, neither did those I was with or those sat around me. Not saying it didn't happen, but it was...

    Make Sure you have your tea before Bolton match

    When I arrived earlier noted that we are no longer using wasps ticket office. Shutters all down. We are now operating from one til in the atrium. Might be interesting today with a larger than normal walk-up expected.

    Guess the crowd for Bolton.....

    11,500. Think this will be our biggest gate for a while. Decent walk-up expected today.

    Protest Tomorrow?

    I think you are doing us a disservice. I think there have been some excellent protests over the years. The Arsenal display got a lot of attention, and some of the marches have been very well attended and well publicised - much more so than similar marches at other clubs. I agree, the...
