    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    Doubt they can afford to change the seats, will probably move the dark blue Ricoh seats around to spell CBS. Would you even be able to fit Coventry Building Society in? Plus CBS logo is blue so not like they'll be pushing for a colour change.

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    You can say you're off to the Ricoh and people will know what you're on about. Not sure saying you're off to the Building Society will work the same way!

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    Not very impressed with how this has been announced on the CBS website.

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    Surprised its the building society to be honest. Can't imagine they're putting up the big bucks and if they are won't their members have something to say being as they are a mutual and supposed to operate in its members best interest?

    Peterborough

    Reminds me of the quote for the president of Bayern Munich a few years ago.

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    If after years of being unable to find a sponsor they've suddenly got one a few weeks after its announced we're back there next season we certainly should be getting a cut.

    Ricoh Today

    They're just having a look round aren't they? From what I've seen on the players social media there was a lot of fringe players who surely would't be needed if it was anything for the media like something related to sponsorship or the kit.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's the frustrating thing. We're back to the unanswered why do people vote Conservative again. Plenty of reasons not to vote Labour are given but any points about policy or anything against the Conservatives and its dismissed as something people aren't interested in. Not sure I buy that...

    Things that annoy you

    My renewal this year was £1,143.37 and if you claim on top of the £125 excess they've added a clause where you have to pay 20% of the cost due to age. Not sure I'd take out insurance again if I ever got another dog. Only made one major claim when he had an op that cost over £10K and I ended up...

    2 Year extension with BoyleSport

    We could probably just link back to the thread from last year, my thoughts haven't really changed. It would be great to be in a position financially where we could take a moral stance and turn away this type of sponsor but unless there's someone waiting in the wings to takeover at a similar rate...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What point is she trying to make there? Looking at the previous election is looks like Brexit party votes were roughly 70% Labour voters, 30% Conservative. If they go back to the two main parties 80/20 or 70/30 in the Conservatives favour that's a huge Labour to Conservative swing over two...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think the opportunity for that type if split has passed. it needed the centrists on both the Conservative and Labour sides to join when the Change MPs left. With the situation with Corbyn along with the Johnson purge it was the perfect opportunity but the execution was shambolic and gave zero...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My Mum, who is a Daily Mail reading Thatcher loving lifelong Conservative voter, thinks Burnham is fantastic. Not entirely sure why to be honest. Also thinks Sultana, who she didn't vote for, is the best MP she's ever had. Funny business politics.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Slater, who has been over there commentating, is kicking off that the Australian government won't make an exception and organise his return. Not got a lot of sympathy to be honest. Happy to travel there and take the money but now wants someone else to sort things for him. Its not like there's...

    Tv show finales that had a decent ending

    There was a documentary on a while ago where those involved in Blackadder said the ending was an accident. Basically they shot it in colour and full speed but it looked terrible. There was no budget or time to reshoot so they had to find a way to make the footage they had shot work.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I completely understand the desire to open things up faster but we need to hold our nerve. Every time we've ignored the experts and come out of lockdown earlier than recommended its been a mistake. Lets not blow it now for the sake of a couple of weeks. With others opening up before us that...

    Man U fans inside Old Trafford

    Surprised at the number of our supporters who think Man Utd fans have nothing to complain about and should just shut up and take what they get from the owners. Is their situation really that different to ours, albeit on a much grander scale? Man Utd were debt free when they took over. The club...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Can't go on much longer surely? There's Australian players, commentators and even an umpire stranded as they aren't allowed to return. Some have left India for other countries. With the secure bubble now breached continuing must be a huge risk. The only option I can see is everyone moving to...
