    The Trust Survey

    We've been here before with surveys and canvassing members opinions only for the responses to be ignored when they weren't what was wanted. Can only hope this time is different so I've filled it in again and we'll wait and see what happens. The "It is in the best interests of the club that CCFC...

    Fans back in stadia by Xmas?

    Interesting point about the numbers now compared to when the plug was pulled on test events.

    Fans back in stadia by Xmas?

    How on earth are they going to maintain the level of social distancing we've seen in other countries when they've started letting fans back in and have 50% capacity? Was listening to the owner of an NHL hockey team and he said they've modelling needing to leave a minimum of 2 seats in every...

    Things that annoy you

    I get this all the time. One of our major clients is a company that gets a lot of large government contracts. Inevitably they are all poorly delivered and hugely over budget but that doesn't seem to stop them getting future contracts. The "middle management" issue has got way worse in the...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Not sure there's any big conspiracy to suppress good news. Think its more likely that those responsible for getting articles up on various news websites quickly don't have the knowledge to fully understand a press release that isn't in an easy to understand format.

    Wasps rescued again

    Do you really see clubs like Tranmere as competitors to the likes of Liverpool? Wouldn't they more accurately be a supplier, they produce players, a product purchased by the PL clubs and essential to their ongoing operation. To use the Amazon analogy how would their sales be if their suppliers...

    Like how they split out education into multiple categories. Probably keen to avoid any questions about why they're still open. Total them up and that's 26.6%

    Wasps rescued again

    Nobody is suggesting the Premier League be handed millions.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Its shambolic. They're turning up to court with zero evidence or even a plausible reason to believe there's an issue. No wonder the courts are immediately dismissing the cases.

    PS5

    Nothing at all suspicious seeing people on social media tracking their PS5 deliveries only to see the status change to missing a few minutes after being passed to delivery drivers. Seems particular common at Yodel.

    Wasps rescued again

    The one upside of this is its in the form of loans. Although would anybody be surprised if they were quietly written off a few years down the loan. Some of the sports on there, such as ice hockey, struggle to break even at the best of times let alone repay loans. This annoys me, "the most...

    Wasps rescued again

    Everything you've said there applies just as much to Premiership Rugby as it does the EFL. Wasps have tens of millions in debt yet are still paying out for top level players. What happened to the CVC money? Millions in additional funding it was claimed was ringfenced so as not to just be paid...

    Wasps rescued again

    Can we then presume the government will use the same logic elsewhere and tell Amazon to dish out money to small independent retailers who are struggling? Or would that suggestion be laughed at and labelled ridiculous?

    Wasps rescued again

    Its a disgrace but doesn't even come as a surprise anymore. Wasps will get two handouts as well as netball is on the list. How can you on the one hand give out millions to a supposed top level elite sport that talks about rivalling the Premier League, including the self proclaimed richest club...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Who remembers the good old days when we were all taking the piss out of Trumps Space Force? Johnson is set to announce spending £4billion a year on Space Command.

    That's from SAGE isn't it? For every one day of loser restrictions an extra 5 days of tighter restrictions.

    Fans back in stadia by Xmas?

    Think we've got an answer why fans back in stadiums is suddenly on the agenda for the government. No money for football or cricket but hundreds of millions in handouts for rugby union, rugby league, horse racing, netball etc

    Totally agree. Most will take the 'easy' option of giving you a few pills and hoping that sorts things. Its a short term v long term issue. The best option is intensive one on one treatment which in the short term is expensive. The people in charge of the budgets are only concerned with...
