Yeah to be fair to Peaches&Cream, it is good to have a reasonable view from the Wasps side of the fence on here. *That is by absolutely no means me agreeing that they should be here, or that i wouldn't want them gone at the first opportunity. It would be ridiculous to claim that CCFC are not...

I had always thought along the lines of "sod Wasps, sod the Ricoh, let's stay at Birmingham" But to be honest, if Wasps' future is as bleak as made out to be, then a couple of million extra revenue a year from us won't save them, so we might as well get back there (if we can)

Building a new ground, and agreeing a rental deal at the Ricoh, don't have to be mutually exclusive. Chances of either or both happening are of course an entirely different debate.

I suppose there's potential that the council have twisted Wasps arm a little. With Wasps future appearing to look bleak, and some potential possibility of CCFC building a new ground. If anyone was to see a benefit to us being back at the Ricoh, it's probably the council from a PR point of view.

Ran a 10km track session yesterday on a grey, damp and windy morning at Pingles... now that the rush of facilities being open has subsided, most track competition now over for the year, and the weather deteriorating, i had the track to myself. 40:59.... not race pace by any stretch, but was...

50pts should be enough this year. In fact I think in one of the seasons out of the past couple, a point per game (46) was enough (I may be incorrect but I can't be arsed to check)

@Grendel out of interest, at the start of the season, how many points would you have expected us to have after the opening 4 games? For me, i'd have said Bristol and Bournemouth: losses Barnsley: win QPR: who knows So for me, 4 is pretty much "par" so far.

The Canal Basin office is/was indeed up for lease. My understanding is all telegraph staff are currently working from home/remotely for an indefinite period due to the Covid. I did ask about the implications for losing the Canal Basin office etc, but i honestly can't remember what i was told...

Club session tonight. 8 x half mile road reps. Managed to knock them consistently out at approx 5:40/mile pace, give or take a couple of seconds either way... Encouraging, as this time last year I'd be struggling to hold that pace on fresh legs, and did it today with relative ease on quite...

Whilst i don't necessarily agree with the stance that some of our fans take that "we are the most hard-done-by fans ever to grace football"... it has been a pretty bleak decade and a half. I was the guy involved in the "handbags" on top of "Jimmy's Hill" at Sixfields after the Brentford(?)...

To be honest, November looks equally nasty.

It does look bleak for Wycombe.... But given that we are not even 1/15th into the season we should probably hold our tongues before writing others off. We could just as likely end up adrift in the bottom three, as be in a playoff battle (admittedly both would be unlikely).

Although they look to be in a strong position to qualify for Europe (assuming that is happening next/this season). No idea how much of a lifeline this may (or may not) be...

Raced at Pingles again last sunday in the 3000 metres on the track. A disappointing 10:55, over 20secs slower than a fortnight ago. Although after my previous good run, i was treating this as a "free swing" and took a big gamble with the tactics. Went off hard... harder than i felt able to...

David O Day is a top-tier clown so i wouldn't worry too much about his opinions... Barnsley has always been one of my favourite away days. Pretty easy access by car or train, ground close to the town centre, plenty of pubs. Huge away end generally with unrestricted seating. To be honest most...

I mean that we got away with some (at times) risky passing around the back line. A handful of times the ball was very nearly pinched right on our 18 yard box. This may have been punished by a more clinical team than QPR. I accept this is our style now and if/when it costs us a couple of goals we...

Yeah... i think calls that we are going to destroy Barnsley because we're on 3pts and they are on zero, are a little premature!

I really don't want to be negative about friday as it was excellent overall. But we really got away with it in the first half, with some risky passing round the back. That's the way we play, and that's absolutely fine, but a top team could have been 2 or 3 up by half time. Then they wouldn't...

QPR pressed us brilliantly in the 1st half. Perhaps they just couldn't keep up that intensity after half-time. I think teams will really do their homework on us this year.

Without wanting to get too negative after winning so well yesterday, but i think we really need the win against Barnsley... the little run after that is tough. A win at Barnsley would boost confidence yet more, and if we can then pick up perhaps a win or couple of draws from the rest of...
