    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    Could only see one of the Mad Hatters at the game. Other one must be busy finalising the takeover.

    If Duck really just couldn't be bothered and wanted to come off then he has to go even if he wants to stay the rest of the season.

    Did anything happen to Willis or did he start with a knock? We certainly aren't having much luck on the injury front.

    Seem to be coming more in to it now. Why don't we use our away kit when we're playing a team in blue?

    I like the don't rock the boat comment as if some random chap not believing him on facebook is going to cause the whole imaginary deal to collapse.

    Thomas unlikely to return?

    Would be amazed if he comes here. If he did I suspect there would be some agreement that he has to play.

    Ashes 17/18 Thread

    Well at least it won't be 5-0. IMO this is where having such long tours is a problem. 3-0 down with 1 to go all England will be thinking about is it all being over but they're away until the start of April. 10 one days, 5 T20's and another 3 tests against New Zealand.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Why are you putting additional conditions on it? That's not how it should work, an owners fancies a certain ground arrangement so they up and move across the country. Stop making excuses for them. The primary consideration should be the history of the club and its supoorters not what type of...

    Might as well abandon it now and let everyone head off and get ready for the next test. Chucking it down, even if they get back on at some point there's no chance of a result.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Are you deliberately being obtuse? As I said before I wasn't just referring to those examples. There are plenty of clubs, both football and rugby, in London who have moved to new stadiums in recent years. Therefore the assertion that it was impossible for Wasps to do so doesn't stand up. Not...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I'm not saying that specific site, I'm saying it is possible. Other teams mange it. They even manage it incredibly close to Wasps traditional home. Anyway Wasps moved temporarily to High Wycombe in 2002 so could easily have got involved with any plans from that point on as other Premiership...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Without examining all new stadiums I couldn't say but AFC seems to follow the model of the Ricoh in that a small amount of capital is required (in the Ricoh's case £10m) and then the rest can be access via grants and the development of adjacent land for non stadium purposes. In the case of the...

    But the point is Barnet have built and moved to a new stadium. Something we are being told was an impossibility for Wasps.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Either way it shows that the claim it was not possible for Wasps to move back to London is completely false. I think Wimbledon are putting in £7m towards the project and in return get the lease for the stadium. So a similar amount Wasps have got the lease on the Ricoh for. At the end of the...

    No its on the site of the old dog racing stadium which was owned by Galliard Homes. No, the land was (and possibly still is) owned by the council. Wealdstone were planning a new ground there but their investment partner went out of business so the plug got pulled on the project. The council...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    How does everyone else afford it? They were offered use of the Brentford Community Stadium which is just over a mile from their original ground but turned it down. London Irish will be moving there instead. How have clubs like Barnet and AFC Wimbledon managed it, not exactly clubs renowned for...
