    Lionesses

    good attendance obviously but I completely agree with Emma Hayes. its meaningless selling 50K+ £6-12 tickets at a ground most people can't usually visit as its sold out for every mens game when they can't sell out games in their usual 4,500 capacity ground at £8 a ticket.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I find this interesting. New PM and cabinet yet they don't seem the have the backing of their own party. There was not a lot of support for JRM's fracking announcement yesterday and now the back benchers are complaining about the mini budget. How long until the next leadership contest?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What's the story there? Assuming there's some local issue that has caused this.

    Wasps have already tried this with QPR haven't they and it ended in disaster.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    To be fair the Telegraph thinking a potential buyer is credible doesn't mean much. They don't have a great track record with potential new owners for us.

    Mini Budget

    Wrong question, how does this help the super rich and tory party donors.

    Early kick offs - the future?

    Read that that there was due to be discussion at the EFLs last AGM to permanently scrap the 3pm blackout rule to allow all matches to be shown on ifollow. Can't find any reports on what conclusion, if any, they came to but it will happen at some point.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Am I reading that right? Wasps have been desperately searching for a way to pay the bonds for months. Someone offered a solution so they turned it down. They have now somehow persuaded HMRC to pursue action in order to force the hand of the investors they turned down? That makes no sense.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Is that the PTI thing? If so that's just extending an existing deal, don't think it will bring much, if any, extra revenue. They were pushing for a new TV deal that included a dedicated rugby channel but couldn't get any interest and I think as a last resort they had to go back to BT and extend...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    If I was a member of staff I wouldn't find that particularly reassuring given that we've seen months of statements about this all being sorted imminently.

    Early kick offs - the future?

    don't see how the authorities can stop it, not like every other game is 3pm Saturday anymore. saw a chap from Lords on Sky Sports Cricket saying they were trying to keep the floodlights off as much as possible. He did say how much they cost to run at the moment and it was a big number.

    The bit people miss is that they're looking at arenas in North America used for NBA and NHL. The arenas are largely owned and operated by groups such as AEG who have enough artists on their books to ensure they are in use pretty much every night of the week and who also invest in the surrounding...

    Things that annoy you

    was just going to post this. had to go and get my flu jab first thing and the doctors is next door to a school. Absolute chaos. Its like the rules of the road don't apply. People randomly stopping, doing three point turns, all sorts of shit going on. Its a miracle there's not more accidents...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Do we have any idea how much they owe HMRC? Presumably Richardson is skint, or at least unprepared to put anymore in, otherwise surely he'd cover that and avoid this situation. Looking at RFP and how the phrasing of their statements has changed to restructuring it looks like Richardson is...

    Wouldn't it cost an insane amount? £20m plus to SISU for us, £35m to pay off the bondholders plus whatever the Wasps owner wants. Would anyone really put £55m minimum to get the lot? If you want to own a football club there's a lot easier ways to do it.
