    Supermarket shortages

    Nothing near me either. Must depend on where you live. Tried three local shops today for bread and milk and nowhere to be seen. Not much else in there either and they weren't sure when they'd be restocked or what they'd be getting. What's it been now, two weeks of panic buying? No sign of it...

    Been quite surprised at how quick the impact has been on some things environmentally.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Don't buy the 'we had no way of predicting this' argument either. Plenty of people have been warning of something like this for years. Fair enough for it to be a shock to your average person on the street but why are those in charge so unprepared? One example from 2015:

    I miss the days when you could be a fat lad and still fit into a replica shirt.

    I know it’s a stupid question but

    Can't see any reason why they wouldn't. Suspect they'll want to get the season up and running as quickly as possible when they get the go ahead so just from an organisational point of view think it would be more likely to be a behind closed doors game.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Not shouting about being the richest club in Europe now are they. Presumably if this has made such an impact they must be handing back all the TV and sponsorship money. They can't need the players to take a 25% reduction based on lost gate receipts given most of the tickets are free and there's...

    Where the hell are they putting it all. There's only so much I can fit in my fridge freezer and cupboards!

    Some football to keep us entertained. At 3pm this afternoon (Saturday 21st) the club will be showing the Walsall away game from Jan 04 with accompanying social media coverage. You can watch here: Think this is a great idea from the club.

    Britannia is owned by Alex Langsam, one of the richest men in the country said to be worth about £250m by the Times Rich List. Surprise surprise he's a non taxpayer who since 1999 has been registered as living in Austria for tax-purposes. And to top it all off he made a decent chunk of his...

    Imagine living in a foreign country working a shitty job on minimum wage. Worried about you family back home in Italy or Spain when someone gives you this. They're live in staff as well so lose their accommodation and, according to the news reports earlier, some can't even travel back to their...

    Can see teams who are mid-table and not in danger of going up or down not taking it very seriously. Will be like a pre-season for them.

    Home Working Thread

    WFH doesn't really change how I do my job given that I'm the only one based up here anyway, the rest of the company is down south. Just means not sitting in a couple of hours (on a good day) of traffic and not having to pay for the dogs daycare. Only real difference is I've been told not to do...

    Peterborough Chairman Video

    This should be the case anyway. Players should be with the big clubs who have a chance at breaking through. Not hundreds signed so they can make money off them and they cast them aside. IMO the loan system would be much better if the parent club still paid wages and there was no fees, players...

    Home Working Thread

    I popped to Ikea at lunchtime to get a desk for home thinking there would be nobody in there. Loads of people wandering aimlessly around and buying random crap, people really aren't listening to the advice. Was plenty of meatballs though so grabbed a couple of bags of those for the freezer.

    Pretty much every club is doing it. Did notice in the video Dave Busst posted that he said they deliver to people in need every week and are still doing that while things are in short supply.
