    Sean lock appearing at the Rialto

    He was on the last few series of Shooting Stars if you watched that. Pretty funny bloke, saw him in London a few years back and would definitely recommend.

    16 year old murdered in Wood End

    Are these all people involved with drugs doing each other in or random innocent people?

    Surprising new development

    No I'm talking about when there was a plan for a new trust in 2012 as the existing trust was ineffective and dormant. That became the relaunch of the existing trust with everyone having to sign up again and pay their membership. The change in constitution came later, possibly to tie in with them...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    AEG, they got as far as meeting with the council. Reckon by their track record they would probably have done a better job of running it than the council, Higgs or Wasps. Stadiums | AEG Worldwide Arenas | AEG Worldwide Sports | AEG Worldwide Touring | AEG Worldwide

    Surprising new development

    So you don't have an answer to the question. The old trust had to all intents and purposes ceased to exist - dormant for years, hence the need for a new trust. The current trust has recently received criticism regarding its inaction on current issues and as a defence CJ stated the Trust saved...

    Surprising new development

    Why? The old trust was dormant, had been for around two years. It's the equivalent of Fisher coming on CWR and telling us we should all be thanking SISU for winning the FA Cup.

    We're really scraping the barrel if the SCG is being included as a positive :emoji_smiley:

    Surprising new development

    The only time I can recall a trust raising money for the academy was before the currently trust. It was back when we had the old version with the likes of Natalie Cox and Kev Monks. The one that got killed off for being ineffective and replaced with the current one. Although in the end didn't...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    That's the problem. Same as if you made a rule saying clubs can't get involved in legal action. How would that work in practice? We might not agree with it but SISU have the right legally to pursue action. And who decides what action is OK or would all legal action be ruled out? If we sold a...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    That's the big problem. SISU haven't broken any laws. Not sure you can fail someone's fit and proper test on the basis they won't chuck millions in that the club doesn't have to try and get promoted. You'd need to put specific rules in place around ownership and have the golden share return to...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I didn't really follow past that point as I was just listening in on a conversation between lawyers and it started going over my head. The general gist seemed to be that after they have thoroughly exhausted the judicial review process they can start a private case against whoever they choose...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I remember one of the lawyers at work, when we were last in court, having a theory that SISU know they won't win these cases but its all about getting information & documents for something down the line.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Would be the first positive thing SISU have done for the city if they can get Wasps to disappear.

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I think you're essentially agreeing with Nick just coming at it from a different angle. The point Nick is making is not about what did or didn't happen but what ACL, the Council and the Trust thought could happen. Hence the huge panic they all went in to when it was revealed things like the...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    The thought has occurred to me that in a worse case scenario of us having nowhere to play and losing our place in the league SISU don't have to liquidate the club. They could keep it in existence as a company that is essentially dormant while they see out the legal process. The club, as far as...

    The protest

    There's a huge difference. SISU couldn't care less about negative publicity, upsetting the fans or the club in general. That's not the same with Wasps. They seem very sensitive to negative publicity, don't want their fans upset and, even if its not their top priority, want Wasps to be at least...

    The protest

    And who made the protest outside the council house. I can find no mention of that anywhere online, did it even happen?

    VAR tonight

    Google parallax angles. Comes up in ice hockey, they have cameras on the goal line and above but you can have a puck that clearly looks in on TV but from directly above or directly in line hasn't crossed the goal line. In practice you're more likely to get it right with a camera than the human...

    Emiliano Sala (Cardiff Player) on board missing plane

    If they aren't paying maybe they did have insurance, or at least not to cover something like this. Not a nice thing to have to dispute but he was a Cardiff player so can't see how they can get out of paying.
