People aren't supposed to be 'cramming' into pubs. Supposed to very much be limited capacity, distanced, separated from other groups etc. Although footy is outdoor it involves a lot of heavy breathing from the exercise increasing the distance the virus could travel and unless you make it...

TBH in the current climate I'm not betting on anything. But it would have to be a major change in current thinking on the case. Every court that has heard it before has dismissed it and been pretty scornful on SISU in the process. How do you argue state aid and undervaluing when the same...

Hence why I said originally we'd get a lower rent. In the follow up I explained it by saying we'd have the rent cost less the 'rebate' for pitch maintenance = lower rent. But the 'rebate' would be for the amount Wasps would pay to maintain the pitch to their required standard. As we'd need a...

No.

and they get covered. Not to the extent pubs reopening were but as they weren't allowed it's not like you can have someone there to provide ongoing updates and reports. They could do that when they knew pubs were reopening so the reporters were on the scene ready, esp for if it ended up with no...

As far as I was aware that just used to be the standard haircut unless you were having really short all over.

Because if they needed the money and the deal hung on getting the quality of the pitch we needed so we agreed to take on pitch maintenance that's a cost Wasps won't be paying for and a service we wouldn't be receiving from them. So it should be that we shouuld be reimbursed on the costs they...

But those gatherings weren't allowed - these are. Supposed to be distanced etc and in some cases it wasn't and as people asked how do you police it effectively? Now, if they'd been gathered on a bridge I'm sure you'd have considered it headline news.

If we don't sign anyone else and keep the formation they'd be the two I'd start in the ACM positions. Other three on the bench. Think jones might be able to transition to the central role more easily than Jobello who much more of a winger.

Always difficult to judge from one season to the next but I do hope we'd be competitive against most teams.

Would have to be a very good offer for him to go, not just in terms of wages but set up. Even then if we're holding our own next season I think he'd stay. He's got a lot of leeway with most of the fans here - somewhere else he'd have to build it from scratch.

22 these days is on the verge of pushing for first team or being released at the level we were at. Didn't sound like MR thought he had good technical ability and pretty much binned him of before the end of pre-season and decided he wasn't go enough. So what if he's 6'2''. Wouldn't have cost much...

Not saying he isn't but we've got to be planning for the next few years as he's not getting younger, tends to pick up 1 or 2 injuries a year and has stepped up a few divisions from when we brought him in. Would be foolish to not be starting to look at who could take over.

Yep. I think the succession plan for Kelly is well underway. Reckon he can get away with it next year if keep this formation as he's got someone next to him and lots of cover behind so any potential mobility issues are covered, but we get his experience. I think longer term they'd like to see...

Because a usual Saturday night doesn't have a lethal airborne pathogen circulating. Although I agree it's fake shock. How many people genuinely expected people to distance themselves? They wrote the stories ages ago - it was just a matter of finding the places where it happened. I'm sure most...

I've no doubt they put a lot of time and effort into scouting and we've done pretty well recently, but you do sometimes have to question it if they do. We do also seem to get quite a lot of players from the same sources in terms of agents, Viveash's Chelsea contacts etc. Now it could be that...

We have but I'd class most of them as more attacking midfielders. Sitting deeper we've got Kelly and Hamer, with Eccles as back up. But Walsh would want to play so which of those two would you leave out. Kelly adds a more physical presence and experience and Hamer has just joined for our...

Looked good when he was here but another who did his knee and hasn't hit the same heights since. Might be worth a punt if his wages weren't too high but if we're keeping both Baka and Biamou unlikely

So the question to ask is IF we took over pitch maintenance as part of a deal in exchange for lower rent would the number of extra fans we got in by being back in Coventry compared to Brum make it worthwhile financially?

Sure it wasn't gammon ;)
