    Transfer Rumour Scott Twine

    We were all so certain we had another star in development there is literally one post on this forum that mentions him from before Villa wanted him.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Seems a good place to start. Wonder if there's also an element of us hearing about these things more often due to the world of social media. In the past if some random player collapsed in a league overseas you were probably fairly unlikely to hear about it. When Stuart Broad tore a muscle...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    The way to crack it is to have a safe way to make your asylum claim that doesn't involve risking your life and / or paying thousands to criminals.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Do we? Am I the only one that hasn't heard anything about this? Edit: should read the later posts first, seems I'm not the only one who has no idea about this!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hope he's not saying voters are stupid as that's why Labour lost the last election ;)

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Just had a look on the ticketing site and lets just say you've got a lot of choice in where you want to sit 😆 Some genius has decided to have the stadium seats on their ticket portal in blue and they indicate which seats are unsold with blue dots you can't see. Know they prefer giving tickets...

    Maatsen recall?

    Every year we go through this with our loan players supposedly being recalled by their parent club.

    Hope you didn't pay, nobody else seems to.

    Crowd trouble

    This is the problem, we don't seem to have basic event management in place at the stadium for some reason. Try going to another event and sitting in the wrong seat or standing in the stairwells / walkways - you'd quickly be moved. We don't get the basics right and it all stems from there.

    Crowd trouble

    Would the obvious solution not be for them to buy tickets in blocks 14 & 15? Looking now for the West Brom and Stoke games and there's more tickets available in those blocks than pretty much anywhere else in the East Stand.

    Crowd trouble

    Very very few other clubs put fences up in the car park, have ridiculously over the top searches & ticket checks or direct fans to meet up seemingly happy for trouble to take place as long as its off the footprint of the arena. I'd be more than happy to see matchday at the CBS operate in a...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    According to the government there were 29,456 asylum applications in 2020. Can't give you any breakdown on unsuccessful applicants but Migration Observatory have some info on successful applications. In 2020 5,400 family reunion visas were issued, a 27% drop from the previous year. There was...

    SISU Back your man...

    You're in a dreamland if you think Robins is just going to be handed a pile of cash to spend in January. The question for me is will the owners be able to come up with the money if Robins makes a specific request as he's identified an issue that needs addressing. The problem with 'backing your...

    This forum - perspective

    Its interesting how quickly expectations changes. After pre-season it was talk of almost certain relegation and some of the players, such as Moore & Gyokeres, were getting a lot of stick for not being up to Championship level. Less than 20 games later and the season would be a disaster if we...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Can you explain how you can legally claim asylum in the UK without entering the country? The 'why do they all want to come to the UK' question doesn't stand up to scrutiny when you look at the number trying to claim asylum here compared to other countries. In a lot of reports we're so far down...

    Their Red Card

    Can't see it being overturned. If it was the other way round we'd have been moaning on the night but once you saw the replay you can't really object. Doesn't it have to be an obvious error to win an appeal? Would only really work if they were claiming it wasn't a foul at all. If they're...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    If you look into the flying airport thing its not actually what they're making out. I know that will come as a shock given its being pushed by Wasps and the Telegraph. Its a temporally proof of concept / exhibition. And it was supposed to be there for a few weeks in November 2021 so unless its...
