    Would assume it will be at The Oval

    How much would it cost to purchase the club? (Any debts to take on factored in as well)

    About 50 years reading that! Being stuck with SISU as owners for the rest of my lifetime isn't a depressing thought at all.

    Bin Strikes

    That's not what he's said. They want the same wages that the council are paying to new recruits to do exactly the same job with exactly the same terms and conditions.

    Bin Strikes

    Unless I'm missing something the confusion is because some people are comparing the council to private employers where there are different terms and conditions. The strikers aren't asking for pay to be matched to that offered by private employers, they're asking it to be matched to what the...

    Bin Strikes

    Think this is being overcomplicated. If they are having to pay new recruits a higher rate because nobody will take the job then the existing employees should be given, at minimum, the same. Not sure many people would be happy if they'd spent a decade in the job to find out newly qualified...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There absolutely has to be a conversation about what living with covid means long term but given the comments from SAGE etc that conversation clearly hasn't taken place and Johnson is just trying to distract from the mess he's in. IMO we need to look at sick pay and the attitude we have in...

    How much would it cost to purchase the club? (Any debts to take on factored in as well)

    Just a gut feeling but for a while I've thought an offer of £15m would get you a serious conversation with Sepalla. But what does that actually buy you? You'd have to be sure you could either fund a new ground (and probably be prepared to write the cost of that off) or that the club is viable...

    Bin Strikes

    On the local Facebook group, which is obsessed with bin collections at the best of time, the number of people defending the councils stance is dropping by the day and everyone else is just saying to pay up and get it sorted. There was supposed to be a collection a couple of weeks ago and they...

    CBS Arena

    The problem when you don't go basic maintenance is it mounts up and a huge amount of work needs doing. If, since day one, the stadium had been maintained properly it wouldn't look anywhere near as na as it does now.

    Bin Strikes

    Seems the company they've contracted to do the work while the strike is on are completely incapable. No sign of any collections today and doesn't seem like anywhere around here has been collected.

    Premier League thread

    That's the one, looked a foul to me but even if it wasn't them surely you stop for the head injury unless the rule has changed. Think the Spurs fans might have been celebrating too soon!

    Premier League thread

    Have they changed the rules about head injuries? I thought the game was supposed to be stopped immediately but the BT commentators are saying it was fine to play on as there was no opportunity to kick the ball out.

    Club Safety Officer sacked

    Seems that the person I was referring to who replaced Cook didn't last long and left in January, no idea who replaced him. Hopefully whoever it is can turn things around because as we see from thread after thread being posted on here about how the event day is badly mismanaged they've...

    Must have been that night on the piss in Samoan Joes that did it.

    Club Safety Officer sacked

    According to the media reports she was suspended while the trial was in progress and now a verdict has been delivered the clubs disciplinary process will kick in and she will be sacked.

    CBS pitch

    Obviously don't watch them week in week out but I'm sure other clubs that share don't have this problem, or at least not to the extent we do.

    ‘The best team we’ve played this season’

    Assuming we don't go up, which to be honest I've not at any point this season thought was likely, then the summer will be key. Not expecting our owners to have a sudden change and start splashing the cash but holding onto our better players and strengthening in a couple of key positions would be...

    Club Safety Officer sacked

    Obviously not great but seems the club have handed it in the appropriate way. That was Paul Cook I think but he's now left. Someone did tell me who his replacement was but he's now left but I was told it was someone with no experience in football.

    Kurt Zouma

    As with a lot of things it will come down to money. If pressure is put on sponsors and they start pulling out because of it then West Ham will get rid. As we saw from his selection last night if they aren't forced to do anything they won't.
