    A place in the sun

    We switched the whole company to WFH and its been fine. Had a meeting a couple of weeks ago and everyone had to say if they wanted to go back into the office or not (even those of us who are furloughed). Literally every person said the same thing, they preferred working from home and were...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Hang on a second. Is this just the daily figure out out by Public Health England that has been changed? People have been pointing to excess deaths and the ONS stats as more accurate since this began. Still it’s a nice distraction for the government rather than having to actually deal with the...

    New sponsor* !!!!!

    People who are moaning on social media that its not a big enough company. Do they realise this is just for the home shorts, its not the main shirt sponsor.

    Haskell / ACL / Trust / CCFC Administration

    Presume you're referring to JLR. Vodafone and Ericsson are the same, Wasps wanted their services but didn't want to pay and had things they couldn't get sponsors for. Aren't some of the others on that list Premiership Rugby partners rather than Wasps?

    Lockdown lessons

    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...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    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...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    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...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

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

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    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.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    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...

    Televising Games in the championship

    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.

    Things that annoy you

    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.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    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...

    Lockdown Days Out

    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.

    Cov Vs Swindon

    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!

    Fixtures

    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.

    All purpose cricket thread

    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.

    All purpose cricket thread

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