    not exactly the sort of weather that will encourage people to spend a few hundred on membership for county games

    Refing

    this really winds me up, so easy to stop. yellow card first time you do it, second yellow and off if you do it again. wouldn't be long before it stopped.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Problem we have is there's no real option, you've got these idiots or the Conservative. Lib Dems & Greens locally seem to be virtually non-existent.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    had a quick look at the account but couldn't see who was behind it. interesting, given how long it takes the council to respond to anything, they seem to have managed to get someone out within hours to take down the estate agent style boards.

    Bin Strikes

    Conservatives in wanting to privatise something shocker. No collection again yesterday, was supposed to be the first recycling collection since before Christmas and this morning some genius has decided the best time to do the bins on the A45 is during rush hour, the results were predictable.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    who is behind that then, or is it nameless? the council does seem to stumble from one mess to the next.

    The 'quality' of Womens Football

    its a great achievement for sure, no doubt about that. but you also need context, according to the radio this morning tickets for a mens game there start from €100 where this was free for members and €9 for everyone else, the next step is to get these side crowds week in week out rather than a...

    brilliant by Wyatt and Ecclestone. you never know in a one off game but Australia are going to be very tough to beat in the final

    Blackburn not on ifollow

    this has to be an EFL thing. the company that runs ifollow also does that NHL, and many other leagues, and the only games that aren't available to stream in the UK are the ones on Premier Sports, not any game that's on in Germany or wherever. There's no way they're building a bespoke system...

    Blackburn not on ifollow

    Said it many times but when the illegal service is more reliable than the legal one you're going to end up losing revenue.

    The 'quality' of Womens Football

    There's some cracking womens international cricket but there's simply not the number of players for decent regional competition at the moment. The drop in standard from the Hundred, which is topped up with International players, and the domestic trophies is very noticeable. There's no quick fix...

    The 'quality' of Womens Football

    The Hundred was supposed to be a great turning point for womens cricket, fta tv and all that. A few days after the tournament finished England women were back playing at small, not sold out ground, and Warwickshire women were playing in front of the proverbial one man and a dog at a club ground...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Within Coventry near Birmingham is an odd way of putting it, hardly a beacon of positivity for the city if the selling point is its near Brum.

    Police Custody USA on Channel 4 tonight, it’s made by the same company, ITV Studios, so could be worth a watch.

    Will Smith

    the number of people on social media saying stuff like 'it was genuine, you can tell by his reaction', do they not know what the two people involved do for a living?

    The 'quality' of Womens Football

    Hopefully at some point the womens game develops different to the men and you see a different style of play & tactics which factor in the physical differences. If the womens game continues trying to be a direct copy of the mens game its going to incredibly tough for them to catch up drives me...

    I've been of the opinion you have to keep Root as there's no other option but think we've moved past that point and now there's a danger its going to impact his batting. As you say you can't have Anderson or Broad as they don't play every game, Stokes has just been out for months with mental...

    All purpose cricket thread

    think it was Vaughn that said you could only really make a case for one of Englands dismissals being a decent ball, the rest have just been wickets thrown away and in exactly the same manner they've been doing all winter. As you say we have a stack of coaches and analysts, why isn't the problem...

    The 'quality' of Womens Football

    this is something that really bugs me with womens sport. its great that the popularity is increasing but they're setting themselves up for a fall when they start making claims about attendances and viewing figures that don't stack up. couple of examples. there was an England Womens game on...
