    Ricoh issues

    I would hope the council aren’t giving out 250 year leases on buildings and retaining responsibility for maintenance. That would be madness.

    All purpose cricket thread

    When we missed the follow on thought we'd blown it. Great performance today, apart from the one review we should have taken did pretty much everything right. Cracking catch to finish off as well. Hope Stokes is OK. This is a hell of schedule to try and get him to play all the tests this...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The vaccine stuff is of course good news but even fast tracking it we're a long time from the point we can start giving them to people. Think the other news today, of existing medicines working to treat covid-19, is the more promising news. If we can find a drug we know is safe to take that...

    Ricoh issues

    Back in the good old days of being called a council lover, or even worse being accused of being a council employee!

    Ricoh issues

    ACL prior to Wasps did the absolute minimum they could in terms of maintenance and it seems nothing has changing since Wasps have been here. Used to annoy me how shabby it looked for a new stadium. Even simple things like they changed some of the signage by the turnstiles and instead of taking...

    New Kit

    Didn't the chap from Hummel say our kit designs were agreed months ago and were even more adventurous than this season. Sure I remember something where he was saying they liked working with us as we were basically up for anything where other clubs play it safe. Given how well they sold this...

    Things that annoy you

    Fingers crossed you don't. The market being the way it is at the moment might work in your favour. Did you decide to move away from Finham catchment in the end? Getting the mortgage approved was a nightmare on my move. Mortgage is about a third less than my rent was. Passed everything fine...

    Ever Been Sacked ?

    Not been sacked, got made redundant once but it had been on the cards for a while so I was prepared for it. Had income protection insurance and eventually, after starting legal action, a decent redundancy payment - I'd been there 10 years. Desperately hoping to get back to work in my current...

    A Bit to soon

    I imagine Robins is just taking the opportunity of having a game given that the Championship clubs continued playing while we haven't had a game in months. Ideally we won't get absolutely annihilated but even if we do not sure it really matters.

    Cancel culture

    Or maybe not. Can't imagine why Arron Banks would be taking legal action to block its publication. I mean he's always denied any links to Russia so surely he has nothing to worry about.

    George Floyd

    Think you need to separate the use of the technique from this particular incident. If the guy is guilty of an offence then of course he should be dealt with but that doesn't mean you can't question how it was handled. The fact that the police will have access to the body cam footage and have...

    Shamima Begum Not Allowed Back.

    Nobody wants her back here but those in charge can't just decide to ignore the law when it doesn't suit, where does that path end? The law doesn't allow for making someone stateless so this was always going to rest of proving she has Bangladeshi citizenship and that was always going to be a...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Not sure if this will work off my phone.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Interesting response from Statford Council's Active Communities Team. Seems they're not happy with Wasps community involvement statement. They query the loss of facilities and what will be replacing them and if existing users have been consulted with regard to suitable provision being made for...

    Robins on 5 Live

    Could be interesting. Not the sort of player you come up against every week in the Championship. At 38 and playing at the highest level he's ever played at I can't see him starting regularly.

    George Floyd

    If you don't identify as anything does that mean you can never be arrested?

    Realistic Expectations next season

    21st and being safe before the final day would be good enough for me. The unanswered question is how we kick on from here without someone sinking in millions every season. Think the stadium issue is often used as a red herring here, even in the unlikely event SISU built a stadium and gifted it...

    Fans allowed in? - Updated!

    You'll struggle to get any reliable deaths data for India from before covid-19 let alone now. They routinely fail to register over a quarter of deaths at all and only about a fifth of registered deaths have a cause listed and those that aren't listed are often inaccurate.

    George Floyd

    I'm interested to know what you would view as sufficient proof any incident has a racial aspect? Are you expecting the officer in question to pop on his Klan uniform before kneeling on someones neck?
