    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Don't agree. Years ago a keeper wasn't expected to be first team material until late 20's and would play until at least mid 30's. If anything nowadays keepers are expected to be challenging for first team at a younger age apart from at the very top clubs where they send them out on loan until...

    Ticket prices

    But the counter argument is: First game of the season First game back in Coventry First game we've been able to watch since promotion First game we've been able to attend in over 12 months. All these should make it a popular fixture and so a high attendance even with it being on TV. So with it...

    F1 2021

    Would be a dangerous precedent to say given Max's aggressive driving style. Sure there would be plenty of times going forward teams could point to him going into a corner way too fast trying to take a position that just wasn't there to be taken. Some drivers already say the give him more space...

    Bezos space trip

    I'm all for space exploration and long term it's our only chance of survival (even though the differing conditions on other planets would inevitably see us evolve into a new species anyway). However, I don't want to see us exploiting other worlds until we've learned our lesson on this one and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's never going to be a proper opportunity though is it because we're years away from an election. Of course it'd be good to see a bit more bite from Starmer but even if we did it'd be forgotten by the time we're in front of the ballot box.

    Stratford v CCFC U23s

    I guess it gives you a chance to see if they stand out against what we have. No point bringing in an U23 development player who doesn't stand out from our own. Also see how they react to it if they get beaten. Obviously will be hard for say a goalscorer who doesn't get any service because it's...

    Bezos space trip

    Apart from the ludicrous cost someone paid (and didn't go) to be on this space flight that lasted 10 minutes) it appears Bezos took that whole thing of men in a mid-life crisis having a vehicle that acts as a penis extension far too literally. But I guess it's apt that it was all over a lot...

    Funny as that is, couldn't they have brought one of their own players back on? I mean, if the ref's letting an opposition player play for them he's not exactly being a stickler for the rules is he.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Quite possibly. Thing with cricket is it's never had as wide an appeal as football so needed a wider catchment area to generate enough of a fanbase to be viable. T20/100 are shorter games and more dynamic so keep your attention more, which would appeal more to the younger generation. Birmingham...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    It can be annoying and in economics I get annoyed they used the mean and ignore the median (and modal) which would give a better indication of the 'average' person as just a small number of very wealthy people massively skew the mean average up, and often wage/income growth is again massively...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Probably. Also shows he's either stupid or deliberately misleading quoting the median age rather than the mean.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Supposedly some market research said they'd get more fans in if they just went with Birmingham because they're an untapped market and the demographic make-up is now much more multi-cultural. With it not being in Warwickshire any more the youngsters don't feel any affinity to it but they do to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is true but it will take time, like it did here, to filter through, We had a big population explosion post-industrialisation as infant mortality fell and life expectancy increased but the old habits and beliefs kept going. Hopefully they would move to the lower birth rates quicker than us...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But still growing. Massively. 8.4% growth of a billion people is still an awful lot more people. It may seem that very long term signs are encouraging and maybe they'll come down even more in that time but it's still a massive crisis in the short to medium term
