    Exactly. Go back and look at the numbers last summer, there's days with zero deaths reported but then cases started rising exponentially and look how we ended up. Of course there is going to be concern when cases start rising exponentially again. We've got 3 weeks until 21 June, which seems to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The apprenticeships scheme is an absolute scam IMO. Subsidises firms to employ staff on less than minimum wage on the promise of non-existent jobs when the apprenticeship ends. My company now has about 50% of its client facing staff from this scheme, they've replaced full time, salaried...

    Why are people talking about the move to Birmingham leading to lost revenue like its some massive surprise that has only been revealed now the accounts have been published? Wasn't it obvious to everyone the move would have an impact on revenue?

    To be fair not sure I'd be lending the club money! The question is would anyone lend them money at a lower rate?

    They've not handled this well at all. When someone says there's an issue with their mental health threatening to kick them out unless they do the thing they've said is causing the problem isn't a great way to proceed.

    Was just looking for the actual report but haven't found it yet, assume it is publicly available somewhere. Hard to tell from reading news reports as this makes it sound like 113 out of the 526 vaccinated died, as bad as my maths is that definitely isn't 0.22%

    All the test events have required a negative test for entry and some level of mask wearing & distancing, although as we've seen from televised games there's a decent percentage of people who seem incapable of wearing a mask properly if at all. In the next round of testing some events drop the...

    Nuneaton take over

    Given this will most likely be a fix of first teams and U23s who are the youngsters to watch out for this season who could make the breakthrough?

    Doubt we'll never know. China aren't exactly open about things at the best of times so if they have made a massive fuck up they aren't going to own up to it. The secrecy was the reason the US had an epidemiologist embedded in the disease control agency over there, so she could raise the alarm if...

    The dominant strain there is the UK variant. Our plans for opening were based on that being the dominant strain here, rememberer we didn't have to worry about the Indian variant as the government had that all under control. We now have high rates of the Indian variant, they don't. But they are...

    Everything is trending in the wrong direction and we've seen time and time again how quickly this can get out of hand. Staggering to me that people are still saying ignore the experts and just go for it and hope for the best.

    Surely that's correct, just look at the numbers? A few weeks ago we were told not to worry about this variant as we'd have no problem just tracking and tracing every case and keeping it under control, no need to close the borders. Now its rising and rising fast and is by far the dominant strain...

    Pre season 21/22

    Think its already been said it can't happen this season due to work on the pitch but that we will be able to play friendless there in future seasons. Although unless we are playing someone massive what's the point? Better off playing somewhere like Nuneaton and it being full.

    Building work underway at new Club Shop and Ticket Office

    Looking at that the entrance will be right next to the away fans entrance which is normally blocked off so you can't even walk round there to your car. Be interesting to see how they're going to allow access but keep the fans separate.
