It started before Wasps turned up and has got worse since. CT basically went with the line that SISU were distressing the stadium so they could get it cheap/free. They took umbrage and started restricting access for CT reporters. How can they report things if the club are ostracising them...

Vast majority of the population of the city don't give a shit. Only interesting to Wasps fans (which won't be many), possibly CRFC fans and the vociferous anti-Wasps CCFC fans. Most CCFC fans, unless it relates to the stadium, wouldn't be that bothered either. This board doesn't reflect the...

I'm only a week or so away from outliving my dad.

Only issue I have with national anthems is they feed the nationalist mindset. Flags and anthems are there as a psychological tactic in warfare to make your troops fight harder. Fine for stuff like sport I guess but does instil a feeling of animosity between peoples. They're not good for the...

Marosi Hyam Fadz Osti Pask Kelly Hamer Giles Allen O'Hare Walker Wilson/Billson, Mason, Rose, Sheaf, Shipley, Godden, Baka Not overly happy with Pask still on the right but think he's the best option available as it stands. MR may well start Godden ahead of walker and Shipley ahead of Allen...

Really enjoyable and intriguing race. Agree about the midfield battle but in terms of winning it's been largely reliant on engine failure, crashes or pit lane errors to have a different winner other than three or four drivers for some time. Not enough on driver ability. Always seems to be one...

I can definitely see the thinking behind that and will be true for some people. But the point is people seem to have heard about stuff that supports their view or opinion but haven't heard stuff that doesn't. You see supporters of a particular party/person talking about certain aspects of a...

I'm talking about stuff regarding on the field - transfers, injuries etc. They give the paper much less info than they used to due probably due to stances taken on the stadium etc. I reckon they've deliberately given them bum steers in the past so they report something that doesn't happen and...

Also calling a reporter a 'slimeball' for reporting that he called war dead losers and suckers. Something that has been confirmed since by other sources. You'd think that'd get his base riled as they're largely pro-military but it won't happen. It's amazing how a bunch of people who consider...

Definitely want the easiest team. More chance of the prize money for getting through and also hopefully wouldn't be as tiring as playing a good team that we're chasing all game knackering ourselves out. Need as much energy for the league as possible. Can't use the argument of big team for big...

Quite a lot of the Cov players/staff don't live in the city either.

I'm not doing a comparison on what we would get for a game compared to Wasps or whatever, it was about whether the £6m figure was massively overstated and pointing out that it's more than just the fans turning up that affect the local economy. Like having a factory/office open in the area. It's...

I've no doubt the projections were based on best case scenarios, possibly even creative accounting of including everything in the local economy rather than an expected increase over the base. But the fact is these games recieve wider coverage than normal games do and will require more people to...

People watching/listening to games will be nervous and anxious due to the uncertainty of what will happen. This leads to a natural inclination to think negatively. If somethings going bad, you expect it to get worse. If it's going well you're waiting for the wheels to fall off. And as Cov fans...

On the whole I agree about Oggy making sense, but you can tell he isn't a fan of keepers with the ball at their feet. It's the thing about ex-pros offering their 'expert' advice. They offer insight into how things might be in training, dressing rooms etc but tactically it depends on how long...

Better make sure you ask for a structurally reinforced taxi when you order it then ;)

Hip injuries can be notoriously difficult to predict recovery. Sometimes people respond much quicker than anticipated, others take much longer. It can look good then flare up without warning. Lamela was supposed to be out for two weeks with a hip injury and he was out for a year and still having...

I really doubt Wilson would be making a decision based upon local rivalries. He'll be doing it based on length of contract, wages and likelihood of remaining a PL club to prevent the same upheaval he's going through now. Had B'mouth stayed up he'd have stayed there. One thing I would suggest...

But we initially signed them on reasonably long contracts. No you can argue we didn't try hard enough to get them to resign until it was too late (I was of the impression we first began trying to convince them to stay much earlier than that. The point stated was that we signed these players and...

Could be factoring in things like media covering it including TV, which means technicians, analysts, journalists etc having to come here. They will be eating, drinking and possibly staying in hotels etc. It's not just the crowds that generate income.
