    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Are they made of glass? There was an issue with vaccine vials as we'd closed the UK based factory that manufactured the glass and therefore had to import which meant being in competition with other countries. Could be something similar.

    You couldn’t make it up!!

    Obviously short term there's issues, and annoyingly they were issues that were warned of and those warnings ignored, but hopefully in the long term it will lead to better pay and conditions. Not holding my breath though. In my industry for years there's been skills shortages and every company...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Watching the news this morning see we've reverted back to claiming infection doesn't occur in schools. Must be a coincidence that every time schools or universities go back there's a big surge in cases. Also being reported that Scotland are looking at bringing in vaccine passports. Not entirely...

    Doesn't that date back to the Burnley chairman in the 60s thinking that if a game was on TV nobody would show up to watch Burnley? These things can be changed if there's the will, an exemption was made last season so it clearly can be done. Just seems to be turning down revenue from people who...

    This was a few years ago, think Wembley use Parallel Ads now to change the pitch side advertising depending on where they're sending the feed to. Edit: looked it up to check I wasn't going mad! Put it in a quote to stop it taking up the entire page.

    Believe Wembley is setup so cameras can be on either side. Sure I've been to games where there's been the English camera crews on one side and the overseas broadcaster on the other, complete with different advertising for each broadcaster.

    Sky Blues Trust AGM

    AGM minutes are on the website, must have been a short meeting. http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=730:sky-blue-trust-agm-2021&catid=124&Itemid=86 They've also done a mail out asking for volunteers:

    Wasps ticket prices

    Doesn't that mean that once teams are out of the running to win it the games become dead rubbers? Not sure watching two teams who have nothing to play for going through the motions in a glorified friendly is an incentive to part with £50.

    Safe Standing

    As with other things its only seemed to be an issue when it was football fans. Don't recall the government ever suggesting the likes of Glastonbury or Reading Fest should be all seater for safety reasons. Hope this gets implemented at most grounds. If only because it will mean that people who...

    Transfer Rumour Brandon Mason gone!

    Best thing all round. Bit of a weird one. Had a good season, new contract and then pretty much never played again!

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Nor can I but worth pointing out that prior to covid the health secretary was speaking to legal advisors about making other vaccinations compulsory due to rates dropping so maybe its not that far fetched to think compulsory vaccinations could be introduced at some stage. Imagine there would be...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    If you assume everyone who hasn't had a first dose is actually anti-vax, which is a huge stretch, that puts the number at under 6.4m. By comparison there's 3.8m people who are CEV. The current advise from the government is for them to avoid places where there might be people who aren't...

    Things that annoy you

    Kids at every game with 'can I have your shirt' signs. How has this become a thing?

    Elliot Watt

    Glad I'm not the only one! Just googled him and pretty sad to see how his career ended up, years of passing from club to club and not getting games.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Its staggering incompetence. If you emailed it went unread, if you phoned it went through to a washing machine repair centre in Cov. But lets blame the person who arranged his own, privately funded, charter to get out.

    Isn't it 2 years to qualify so even if you bumped up wages now to attract people into the profession you've still got a problem.

    So far so good but as we say every game we need to start putting chances away. Can't rely on an injury time winner every week!

    Only 10 minutes in but this is shaping up to be more of the same. Wish we had the money for a clinical finisher.
