How is it the best deal for the public when it did not go through an open market process? Done behind closed doors. Was there an agent's board outside the Arena saying "for sale"?

George Reynolds what a rascal!! Somebody picked up the stadium for not a lot when football club got into trouble as a result of Reynolds shenanigans.

Still think bondholders weren't particularly bright in investing. Fell for some spiel and glossy brochures. Nothing to suggest rugby is such a huge untapped market as Wasps claimed. So many large cities without a serious rugby presence. Premiership full of small city teams. None can sellout...

sounds like fraud. Moving an asset at less than market value (which they've set themselves in accounts and bond doc)

Also with a CVA wouldn't the management that have created this situation remain in place? Wouldn't appeal to me as an investor

Isn't this the "mistake" that EU made with Russia? A belief (mainly because it worked for Germany post WW2) that prosperous trade would trump political ambitions, temper aggression and oppression. A belief that everybody really wants liberal democracy and healthy trade is a part of achieving...

So the nay sayers. Are the University being led up the garden path? Or is there a reason the University would "collude" with SISU to mislead people? SISU have form on misleading people about a new stadium. There were pretty pictures flashed around years ago about how the then new stadium was...

You'd think the rent contract would have a clause about a playable surface (exc extreme weather)

think Watson has got lightly with 6 games. On a brighter note we're into camp and first game only 5 weeks away

Long weekend at Hungarian GP. First time in years temps have been cool - normally like an oven. Managed to catch the Citygame and women's final in various team hospitality areas. Ferrari's failures not a surprise - out with various team people before quali and they were joking about how Ferrari...

BritTV?

No interest in Championship here. I use an app to watch UK games. But patchy on ifollow but sky no problems. Or sports bars will show sky games except last year one clashed with rugby from memory.

So many Verstappen comparisons that it does seem like a Red bull/Marko production line. Was arrogant, aggressive, petulant when things went wrong, difficult teammate. Had one of the great championship battles with Alonso & Ferrari. Grown older and (with less pressure from challenging) has been...

Creating a load of "average" teams that can't close the gap to one or two teams at the front. Can't be a coincidence that Red Bull's dominance co-incides with Mercedes fall when a lot of key personnel (designers, engineers etc) moved from Mercedes to Red Bull 2 years ago. Maybe the only way for...

That's the problem. All these rule changes still cannot drag back the gap the front runners have on the pack. Competitive racing in the midfield doesn't compensate for runaway winners. For years it was Mercedes now it's Red Bull. Ferrari don't count because it's not a good car if it can't...

compost piles can self-combust in hot weather. Centre of pile gets too hot and the dry outsides can start to smoulder. Piles of dry grass the same risk

Love those who think the "birds aren't real" one - don't realize it's actually a parody taking the piss out of them

Here we close the curtains on the windows directly facing the sun (south facing) and leave some windows/back door open. Here when it's 35+ outside but house stays pretty cool at around 20.

He's right. Then ECB exacerbate by expecting England players to push the Hundred as well. It's likely 50 over cricket will suffer as the domestic competition been relegated to the bottom of the pile. Last year a lot of kids and 2nd XI players were used as it was run alongside the Hundred. The...

Nope. Got a few large portable fans we use when it gets too bad but been here so many years just got used to the heat. Work around it where possible. House is a 3 storey job so not ideal for domestic a/c. This year is a bit of a one-off as not usually this many rain-free days which usually break...
