    All purpose cricket thread

    There was a game where they gave loads of tickets to one of those student piss up companies and were surprised when a load of pissed up students arrived, weren't particularly interested in the cricket and caused trouble. Went down particularly well as it was when there was still capacity...

    Cain using all the skills he learned at Wasps and lying through his teeth when asked about trouble at white ball games. I'm not convinced Blast games are up on attendance either having watched them on the streams. if the blast was as popular as he's making out why are quarter final tickets a...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    If there was a genuine infrastructure need would there be so much secrecy? We all know they have friends in the local media, even if they couldn't release it official we'd have an article from Bridge saying 'sources tell me'.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    You've got to assume if he took £10m out of the bond he wanted his money back, his plan wouldn't have been to put it back in. Suspect its similar to the situation we have with SISU where he only puts money in as a last resort as not doing it would run the risk of wiping out his entire...

    America

    America really is a mess. Know a few people out there, some that live in pretty redneck areas, but at the moment they are all genuinely scared and wondering if there is a way for them to get out of the country. Where they go from here who knows. The Supreme Court seems to have abandoned...

    The WMCA grant application technically is but given Reeves was Chief Exec for the WMCA its not a huge leap to think he still has contacts and potentially influence there. Wasn't there also a meeting of the council after the news of the grant broke where assisting Wasps was mentioned so just...

    Balls going round corners this morning, will do well to avoid the follow on from here.

    Have they forgotten its a test and not a T20? 35 off Broads over.

    They're close to being sold out for every game don't you know. Must be true it was reported in the Telegraph.

    Anyone doing an accumulator for this season?

    us to win the league, Villa to get relegated and Wasps to go bust :D

    Wasps downward spiral...

    We're hardly hosting the Commonwealth Games, we're hosting a few events that are such money spinners for the local area the originally selected venues pulled out. The judo and wrestling were originally scheduled for the NEC and the Rugby 7s at Villa Park. It takes seconds of looking at the link...

    Actually despite the history I was quite shocked at the way the council reacted. They couldn't even manage a meaningless we'll do what we can, just complete dismissal while bending over backwards to help Wasps.

    Any think it's very unprofessional? Leak in the camp

    Was it Roy O'Donovan's Mrs that started kicking off with people on social media?

    You would have to be blind to not see that Wasps get special treatment. We've had representatives of this board meet with the council and plead with them to assist the football club only to essentially be told to go away yet when Wasps are yet again asking for money they're falling over...

    I'm sure there's plenty of people on here who have their own business. Can you maybe tell them how they get over £5m of public money, with the potential for a further £13m for work on their premises. Personally I'm not sure why the Commonwealth Games needs a Commonwealth Convention Centre, I...

    Care to enlighten us with how many millions of public money have been handed to Edgbaston, the NEC, Birmingham Arena, Cannock Chase, Victoria Park etc because as far as I can tell they haven't had a penny. Maybe you can also tell us exactly why events couldn't be held at the CBS without...

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    The whole point of VAR was to stop the huge ridiculous errors. This seems to be going the opposite way. I guess if its instant and the same system is being applied to everyone then its ok but as you say why do they always make changes for major tournaments. Its asking for trouble.
