Got Eccles too. Frankly, we've got more pressing issues than CM so if it is an issue I can only see MR using a loan to cover. Unless he can offload Shipley and Allen to bring one more in.

Like I say, different target market. You need the top quality components to build something that can afford to be inflexible on price. We can't afford them. So we're more in the Ford/Peugeot market with a huge number of competitors looking at volume - getting as many customers and market share...

But you may not have the funds to compete at that level, but enough to make a massive difference to build a smaller club up, getting a massive ego boost from being seen as this white knight, enjoying watching that club win regularly as you've been able to buy them better players than the clubs...

But in the years to come these tiny clubs may have become one with generations of loyal fans which all started thanks to this period in history where someone bankrolled them better than their rivals. Just like the big clubs of today.

It is a bit weird that we're not more of a rugby city really. We've had some great players from the city and certainly when I was at school there was far more a focus on rugby in PE than football. Also being the largest city close to Rugby it should be of interest. In fact it's surprising Rugby...

Because those brands work on a very different model. They're low volume, exclusive brands and a product that has complete control over it's quality and customer satisfaction. If Rolls released regularly released shit cars or Rolex shit watches do you think they'd survive long charging massively...

Whenever a new thing turns up it generates some interest if out of nothing but curiousity and then tails off. Many places offer opening discounts before reverting to normal prices. If it's good it will keep clientele, if it's not it won't. Wasps performances on the whole haven't been that bad...

Is she related to Konnie?

Yeah. Even if they hadn't given away all those tickets wasps still wouldn't have much 'brand value' here. All they'd have had was consistently low attendances from the start which itself would have devalued them. People aren't going not because the club gave away so many freebies but because...

Zola was really good with his head as well.

I've always felt that discounts etc should relate to performance on the field, because if we play well and win people want to come back, if we lose they're less likely to. The worse the loss the less likely they are to return. So if you go to a match and the team lose you can use that ticket to...

It's also very close to the roundabout at J7 and it gets a lot of traffic. Think that might put them off allowing a load of potentially drunk football fans standing outside, but we'll see.

Surely it should be with Chippo's? Sillett of Fish Froggatt's Legs on the international menu. An all-you-can-eat buffet called the Marton Fulop A carvery - Liam Kelly's meat. The Dion Special - a foot-long hotdog and a coil of black pudding.

My first match I remember very little of the actual football. Kilcline scoring a penalty is about it. But I remember the car being parked close to the ground and walking up towards the stadium. I remember walking to the front of the terrace and putting our little crate down to stand on so I...

I think under Covid a lot of people will very much be hoping the atmosphere won't spread!

Why did it stop? Load of noncesense if you ask me.

The top footballers definitely are, and I've said for many years the model is totally unsustainable. I don't necessarily mind the players earning a lot, because unlike most industries it's those that make the product that do well whereas most industries those people are exploited so those behind...

If he did then he lied!

I agree entirely. It's got more attention by her standing by what she said than if she'd retracted it were it'd be forgotten and she'd probably end up looking a bit silly and like she didn't believe it. She stands by what she said and frankly it's not that hard to prove her right. My ire is...

This highlights how ludicrous some of our parliamentary laws are. You can be the Prime Minister and lie in the chamber, on the TV and to people in the street and it's fine. If you're an MP and tell the truth, you get kicked out. Yet in that same chamber you can use 'parliamentary privilege' to...
