Tickets bought. It is a decent line-up, but there seems to be a tendency to book some acts who have played the city recently. This isn’t the first year this has happened.

Bournemouth the original protagonists of FFP infringement. I’d be happy if they weren’t promoted back to the prem.

Numerics have a part to play, too. There are less women playing football so it’s statistically easier for them to become successful amongst their peers. I know this as I have been the Mens’ All-England knitting champion for the past two decades. Barely any competition.

It’s not just the City of Derby, though. Being a county team anchors greater support locally, too. The same applies to Leicester - people from Loughborough still consider themselves ‘Leicester‘ by virtue of living in the county of Leicester. By comparison, Coventry’s support may not be that...

You’re not really from Earlsdon, are you? 🤣

Shepherds Bush is alright - great for live music and some decent boozers.

I known it’s London real estate, I spend a stack of time down there so know the area well, but your comment is a red herring as it’s all relative. They might own it, but they need a new stadium, and guess what? Even if their current stadium occupies valuable land, any thought of moving or...

QPR fans singing “Shit ground, no fans” was particularly entertaining seeing as the attendance yesterday was 2500 greater than the capacity of their poxy old shoebox of a stadium.

With Oxford United’s plans for a new stadium, the Kassam could be looking for a new occupant. Surely that would suit Wasps’ demographic and with only 3 stands is more than big enough for them. They could probably retain their Henley In Arden training centre as well?

This nobber idiot gloating on another post about Villa being the biggest club in the midlands when the rugby team he supports aren’t even the biggest in Coventry. 🤣

When I was a nipper we used to go on holiday to Pwllheli in North Wales so I associated Wales with the seaside. When we moved to Helsby just outside Chester, my dad used to pacify me when I was being a little bastard by asking if I fancied a trip to Wales. We’d get in the car (a Cortina mk 3)...

Excluding the hospitality tier above, the main stand has the lowest capacity of any section of the CBS arena and holds around 5000-5500 spectators, so based on your comment, there may have been 4000 there (or maybe 1000 paying people) in that part of the ground.

They were all too busy queuing in the fanzone for a complementary Wasps rusty tea towel holder to take a picture during the game.

“Average gates of around 5,500 at Adams Park”. Back to square one, then? 🤣

A rugby trial with Wasps…

God bless you and your family. Thoughts and prayers.

I just took a look at the drunkenwasps forum. I was being unfair in my opinion that it was a minority on there that are eejits. I take it back - it’s pretty much all of ‘em - they are a snobbish collective who need to be gone. Pronto.

That’s a bit unfair, though. You’re essentially endorsing a similar move to when Wasps moved to Coventry. Although not commandeerIng an already occupied stadium, it would likely impact on existing rugby teams in Brum with historic pasts. For me, I want Wasps out but the best solution has to be...

All things considered, their fans have remained loyal - they’ve not had a sniff of success in years yet still pull in better crowds than the likes of Chelsea or Man City would if their form was similarly indifferent year after year. That said, Everton have flirted with relegation before, I...
