I wasn't sure about MA but now a Newcastle fan has come on and said twice 'you've been warned', I now feel incredibly uneasy 🙄 And they're now supported by a regime who are trying to sports-wash their way out of situations like the execution of Jamal Khashoggi. Yeah sure, SISU and MA are worse...

Hoping to take my step dad to this one. Can't wait. First game of the season for me.

England beat Iran 6-2 mate.

Great player, arguably the best ever. But anyone else sick and tired of his constant moaning about how much he's not bothered or hates snooker?? Don't play it then. He does my head in.

So as well as being general w@nkers for a multitude of reasons, we can add 'letting the stadium fall apart' to the list for those f&%king parasites?

I don't think that does explain no Sky matches to be honest. There's been a few iFollow games on midweek and the picture and light has been just fine.

Quelle surprise...!

Depends on the event I guess. If it's a multi-day event and your attendees aren't all local, you're going to need beds somewhere. There's definitely not enough rooms in the DTbH at the Arena to service the size of the events they have.

Your honour, I rest my case :-) Maybe a case of the protecting the city centre hotels but given the potential for the Arena, it would make sense to add another hotel on.

I don't the boundaries of the NEC but I know the Hilton Birmingham Met has about 740 bedrooms. You've also got the Genting Arena Hotel, Crowne Plaza, HGI Birm Airport and the HI Express NEC. Probably between 1,500-2000 bedrooms between them I'd guess? With twins, I'd imagine 3-3.5k beds...

Honestly, don't know to be honest. Vested interest in the existing hotel stock and not wanting to upset the apple cart?? A simple example to further explain my points though. I used to work for a hotel in West Susssex who had meeting space for events for up to 500 ppl but we could only...

From the Council?

They've not asked me to go to EFL HQ yet to be fair...

I don't mate, that's why I said 'no one knows and i'd ask the question'. ;-)

No one knows. I have a contact at the EFL so I've mailed him and asked if he knows how long it takes. Will post if I get a response.

The thing is, there's a large exhibition hall that can get 12,000 in. A stadium bowl that can accommodate 40k for concerts. There's a hotel onsite which has less than 200 bedrooms (I think - memory not what it used to be). The ratio of bedrooms to potential visitors to events is stupidly low...

Do you think he was genuine with his £25m?

Yeah, that's the thing. As @skybluetony176 says, if the 'takeover' would've happened much more earlier than 24hrs before the Arena purchase deadline, he would have more credence. He would've known the deadlines - why leave it to the last minute with a lesser chance of success??

Brighton and Ho... Ah forget it!

And as far as King goes, my initial enthusiasm has been tempered by the fact that he's apparently involved with another Cayman Islands based Hedge Fund. If that's the case, he's not different to SISU. I guess we've seen more of him in 48hrs that we have of Joy in 15 years. He's a Norwich City...
