I‘ve learnt that work is bad for my health, wish I was joking but I’m not. Have lost a stone and a half since being furloughed and for the first time in a long time my blood pressure has dropped to a normal level. Got called in on Monday to do one day, because a site visit was needed and I’m...

Don’t think anyone will believe it until they’re sat in their seat watching the first game! Say this every time but I think everyone saying it won’t happen and picking holes in any comments, especially when it includes the local media and council, just plays into SISU’s hands. They can play the...

The Uni told the local councillors who demanded a meeting as soon as the news broke that they are waiting on the final confirmed location for the A46 relief road to determine the exact stadium location. They also said a public consultation is expected in the autumn so presumably they expect to...

See the Uni have announced they will be an athlete village for the Commonwealth Games https://bit.ly/2DAViGZ

Not acording to the uni. They told the local councillors this was a new project that had been moving quickly since it was initiated.

The CT seemed to have missed out a couple of points the councillors reported back from their meeting with the Uni. UoW say they have put a team together internally to oversee the project and they also said they would be holding a public consultation later this year.

Might also want to google where this particular councillor lives.

You didn’t dream it. Phase 1 is the new roundabout for which prep work has already begun, land is being cleared and utilities re-routes. Phase 2 is a relief road which goes past the new stadium site and comes out at Westwood Heath Road. The controversial part is phase 3, the existence of which...

Wasn’t last season the first of a 5 year deal? There was talk when things ground to a halt that the EFL approached Sky to change the deal to allow all games on ifollow but nothing more was said so presumably Sky said no. Not A surprise given how much they’ve paid for rights.

They use all sorts of odd measures to try and make the figures look good and various methods of not counting people who aren’t working. What you really need is a full time equivalent stat.

The press reporting on this is way over the top. We had over a thousand new cases on Sunday, barely a mention, NZ has 4 cases in the same family after over 100 days without any community transmission and it’s all over the press. Once again the difference in response is stark. Lockdown in place...

Cliff Lakes in Tamworth might be an easier option than a beach. West Mids Safari Park and the Black Country Museum are a couple of the big ones locally that haven’t been mentioned.

Channels run on a shoestring. They quite often don’t get round to updating the listings by the time things are on. Last night I watched tbc v tbc!

The Rangers and Celtic games I assume already have a feed produced for their own stations so Prem Sports can buy the rights for next to nothing. This one seems a bit more random.

Thought it was game over when Stokes went but now it looks like a close finish. Was a risky strategy to just go for it and start hitting out, could easily have led to a couple of quick wickets, but it’s got us back in the game.

Great test but I think that brush of Stokes glove might be the end of any hope of a win.

Birmingham Council are to blame. They loaned the club £20m towards the huge amount of work they had done a few years ago and wanted the name changed to promote the city. After fans went nuts over it one of the councillors said he couldn’t understand why people were upset!

Seems theatres and venues have been told no audiences allowed until 2021 at the earliest and the DCMS won’t even be carrying out further assessments on the viability of audiences returning until the end of the year.

Would be interesting to know how many EFL clubs have given automatic refunds.

Are you thinking of Stuart Cain? Joined Wasps as Commercial Director in Sep 2017, made Chief Exec in one of their other rounds of changes at the top in Aug 2019 and left in May.
