    Nationalism

    Was talking about this thread with my Dad last night. Checked how much he paid for their house, nice big detached house in Styvechale with a huge garden, and if the value had risen in line with inflation today it would cost less than I paid for my 2 bed terrace but in reality is worth at least...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    It's the same everywhere. I'm private sector and have had one pay increase since 2008! Equates to a 22% pay cut over that time. Guess the argument is paying out for furlough is better for the economy than having millions unemployed. I've looked at my situation and if I don't go back to work...

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    The genie is out the bottle now, might be hard to go back. Even if they open grounds up completely there will still be people who are nervous about going and prefer to stay at home. Are they going to turn down their money? Once things are back to normal I've never been convinced streaming has...

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    Think people are overcomplicating this. You can buy a season ticket which will give you access to a stream of all home games while playing behind BCD, even games being shown live on Sky. If you don't have a season ticket you can buy the stream for a single match for £10. All home games will...

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    If the overseas ifollow is the same as previous seasons that's a pretty big difference compared to the cost in the UK which, if it runs all season, will end up being £460.

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    The season ticket thing they've annouced is home games only on ifollow. You'll need to pay another £10 for every away game. If ifollow is as before its home and away (although not all championship teams are signed up). Would make ifollow the cheaper option for those 'overseas'. I'm tempted to...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Germany have extended their furlough scheme for 24 months. German finance minister, Olaf Scholz said “The corona crisis won’t suddenly disappear in the next few weeks. Businesses and employees need a clear signal from the government: we’ve got your back for the long haul in this crisis, so that...

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    That's pretty much how I interpreted the mail article. Although from what the club said about season tickets you'll only get the home games included and will have to pay for away, fair enough really. All the home games would be £230. Tempted to buy a season ticket to get the special shirt...

    Things that annoy you

    Before lockdown used to drive down the A45 every day and that's terrible for litter. Do people just chuck things out of their cars rather than taking it home? Not the best first impression for people coming into the city.

    Three new friendlies

    Didn’t they not confirm the Wolves game until the last minute? Think only the TV games were confirmed in advance. Seems overly paranoid to be worried about people turning up to a pre season game. What are they going to do when the season starts?

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    It also says every game in every division. Sky wouldn’t have the capacity for that would they? Producing a HD TV feed to an acceptable broadcast standard is very different to what we get on ifollow. Are there even enough crews and OB units for this to be possible?

    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    That article doesn’t say Sky are streaming all games does it? It says they will allow clubs to stream games, including the games they show live on TV while playing BCD. It’s been known for ages that ifollow in the U.K. required Sky’s agreement as the rights holder. The packages quoted sound...

    Weight and working out

    Has been known to happen :D These days I'm generally aware enough to know its happening and stop myself. Plus I work somewhere where there's not really anything to hand, no shops or cafes or anything like that so its a bit of a mission to go out and binge.

    Borrowing Money

    There's not many people I'd lend money to past lending someone a few quid on a night out. Probably best to work on the principle that you aren't getting it back and then decide if you'd be happy to give that amount to the person.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Not the most exciting days cricket ever, could have done with the barmy army in there to liven things up. Fantastic knock by Crawley. Last England player who turned their maiden test century into a double ton?
