    Nationalism

    I've bought this up with him before. He says they had to take a decision if they wanted to maintain their current lifestyle and decided they did so it meant my Mum for a few months getting a part time job working a couple of days a week. Suspect if someone struggling today suggested that as...

    Weight and working out

    I've struggled a lot trying to get my weight down since it ballooned over 10 years ago thanks to some medical issues. When it said the side effect of medication was weight gain I thought it meant a few pounds, it didn't! Working with my doctor I've tried all sorts of diets and exercise and all...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Plans for new homes close to where any ground is likely to be approved by CCC despite Blundells objections. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/new-aspirational-homes-coventry-approved-18806927 Does there come a point where the locals grow tired of objecting to everything...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Across the whole of England positive tests have risen 27% in a week, despite the number of tests dropping. Hospital admission and patients on ventilators doesn't seem to be going up though which I guess is good news. No idea if that is the virus becoming 'weaker', its younger people getting...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Not a bad thing but why does everything need a campaign and a last minute u-turn. A lot of unnecessary stress for people who are struggling at the moment and thought the eviction process would start up next week. The advise for landlords seems to be the same as that for homeowners. Speak to...

    Another u-turn incoming. Having insisted the eviction ban wouldn't be extended past this weekend guess what. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53851945

    This season's Shirt Sponsor

    Be interested to know how much the university are paying compared to the amount they've received from betting companies in the last few years before applauding them. The cynic in me thinks they've changed sponsor and then decided to make out it was down to fan response for some cheap PR.

    Nationalism

    You kind of proving the point you've been arguing against there. I didn't buy my first car that cost more than a grand until the age of 36 as after rent I simply couldn't afford it. 10 years later I'm still in the same car as I can't afford to replace it. My Dad has never been without a newish...

    It's a bit of an odd complaint as he's saying he has a relative who had a gambling additiction and wants to be able to wear the shirt when he goes to their house. Why not wear a different shirt on those days?

    Nationalism

    My Dad decided recently I should know all about his finances in case he drops dead or loses his marbles - a cheerful day! He left school at 16 and went to work, staying in the same role his entire life. I went to uni to study Computer Science, for which I still owe thousands, and have held...

    George Floyd

    You make it sound like all asylum seekers are heading to the UK when the reality is its a very small percentage.

    George Floyd

    Had a quick look and from what I can make out in the UK asylum seekers get £37.75 a week, accommodation and access to the NHS. The accommodation seems to generally be of a pretty low standard. If they're successful and become a refugee I can't find anything to suggest they get more than anyone...

    Doubt it will be on junior sizes. Those kits couldn't have the sky bet logo on them in the past.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The genius that is Matt Hancock has declared there is no reason not to go back to offices as the track and trace stats show the level of transmission in offices, which have of course been largely closed with people working from home, is relatively low. Oddly it seems there are experts who don't...

    Championship Club Membership - 1st Sept

    You've got to admire him really. To be able to get simple facts wrong so consistency takes some doing. In just a couple of tweets he's managed to get the number of season ticket holders wrong and claimed match package holders donated money to the club when the club have said they can be retained...

    Think I'm going to boycott, not going to support a team that's got the branding of a betting company everywhere ;)

    This season's Shirt Sponsor

    I see the point you're making but surely its more related to betting companies being able to advertise and sponsor in general? As a club we aren't in a position to take the moral high ground, we need every penny we can get. We've played for years in the Sky Bet league with that branding highly...
