    Blues...off the pitch

    We've got a not insignificant section of our support who love to constantly talk about impending trouble. How many times did we hear of impending 'carnage at New Street' when going to our games at St Andrews and how many times was there any actual trouble? Problem is there's the danger that it...

    M25 blocking

    I've had three quotes, all roughly the same. Because there's no cavity to fill its either internal insulation, which makes all the rooms smaller, or external. There's then the added bonus that part of the external walls are pebbledash which is seems to be a pain to insulate over and therefore...

    Also worth checking with your own doctor. I got jab one and two from my GP and had a call from them to book in jab three. My Dad had his first two at his GP, different surgery to me, and again got the call direct from them. My Mum had hers at Stoneleigh which is now closed, not sure if that's...

    M25 blocking

    Having just had some quotes done to insulate my not particularly big house I'm starting to think these protesters have a point that it needs government funding. Older house without cavity walls, apparently a common issue in this part of Cov, looking at £7K+ to insulate a 2 bed terrace :eek...

    Seem to remember there wasn't a lot of moderation on the clubs forum with predictable results. Don't remember the CT forum but do remember a lot of, non-offensive, comments mysteriously disappearing off stories about the club on their main site. Then when people started pointing out what was...

    How long before the rumours of Starmer being taken out of the firing line on budget day start?

    Wasn't there a forum on the clubs website back in the day? There was also Rory's email list before forums were a thing. Still get an occasional email from that when someone remembers it exists.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not great to see so many MPs using the murder of a colleague as an excuse not to be answerable to the electorate. Seen numerous examples of people being blocked by their MP for politely asking why they voted the way they did.

    Looks like something has been changed so hopefully they will hear soon. My parents were waiting and getting concerned they kept being told it wasn't available for them yet despite being past 6 months after their 2nd jabs. Both have now been booked in for this week but only got the call...

    All purpose cricket thread

    This morning Cricket SA announced that all players will take the knee, previously their players were doing a mix of taking the knee and raised fist, with one player noticeable doing neither. Now they've announced the team for todays game and Quinton de Kock is out, 'Quinton de Kock has made...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I would say the detail will be important but sadly the last few years have shown that few people are bothered about detail so it will come down to if they can convince people they can deliver on what they are saying.

    Crowd trouble

    We've got Birmingham, West Brom, Stoke and Millwall coming up soon. I don't share your confidence that there is little chance of a repeat. Agreed there's not usually trouble in the stadium but then for years the away supporters are miles away as numbers have been low. What is the threshold at...

    Crowd trouble

    Don't know if I should be surprised or not that there seems to be a decent chunk of people on here who aren't bothered if there's trouble in or around the ground. For those saying 'it wasn't as bad as the 80s' that's not really a great argument for me. In the 80s football was in its arse...

    Crowd trouble

    It would be part of the conditions for getting a safety certificate wouldn't it? In any case the issue isn't really the number of police on duty its the way the stewards and police are seemingly not capable of simple crowd control that is done as a matter of routine at other clubs. Add in that...

    We can hope but Friday and Saturday were both higher than Friday and Saturday last week so I think a bit early to say we're over the worst of this wave.

    End of Woke News?

    The Times are reporting that Andrew Neil is in talks to return to the BBC. If it happens will be interesting to see in what capacity.

    Crowd trouble

    This. I don't for a minute believe our fans are significantly worse than any others, yes we have some complete morons but so does pretty much every club. The consistent failure to be able to manage basic crowd control at the stadium is a joke. Its not just at our games, there's been issues at...

    Don't think he'll be getting a suspension for that one. Nearly took the net off with the pen.

    Is there any formal criteria that they use to work out where a 'new' team slots into the pyramid?

    Walker would be starting today if he'd smiled when he scored.
