    RIP Labour

    People are struggling. This government have overseen a huge transfer of wealth. Those at the top are getting richer faster while everyone else is left to fight over scraps. Wages are stagnant, food bank usage is at record levels, the slowest economic recovery since records began. Its not...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    You could have stopped there. It is the easiest thing, especially as they have already told the trust. That's the way forward for me. Get CSF to put it in writing and call Anderson's bluff.

    Why can't we

    Where would they build? Even if the club bought back the Connexion they'd only get one more pitch in. They can't build out from the existing site so it would need another site in Ryton. Is there anything big enough that's not already taken or green belt? We should explore all options of course...

    Why can't we

    The problem is that the requirements for an academy, even if you accept there is a degree of flexibility, mean we have a lot less room to manoeuvre than Wasps who can do pretty much what they like. What I don't understand with Broad Street is why they don't just make that their permanent home...

    RIP Labour

    Absolutely this. I don't think Corbyn will be PM as it would need a virtually unprecedented swing, which given the way the media treats him is virtually impossible. What is possible is a change in politics. Corbyn takes Labour back to the left, we now have May and a cabinet which is further to...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    It wouldn't be spin unless it was vague. Say we can offer x, y & z to the club moving forward from when the current deal ends. Make it very simple and very clear.

    Have I missed an academy update?

    On the bright side as CSF managed to supply all the details requested by Anderson to the Trust there is no reason they can't be put in a letter and sent to him. Make it an open letter in the Telegraph. Its time to call his bluff.

    Anyone else waiting for season ticket

    Does anyone know when they're sending season tickets out. Would have thought someone would mention it by now :D

    Wolves bought for 45 million

    you get money from the PL apart from parachute payment, we get something like £400K every year. £12m does seem high without any parachute payments though.

    Wolves bought for 45 million

    If you strip out gate receipts our income is £3.5m compared to their £20.7m, a pretty big difference by anyone's standards.

    Matchday Car Parking Prices

    How much, if anything, do we get out of this? If the club gets a decent cut I might use the official car parks, if not I'll just use one of the places behind Tesco.

    The Balance / When Will You Be Concerned....

    A lot of players on that list didn't feature too much last year. Their places can probably be filled with the younger players coming through. We're probably only 2 or 3 signings away from being in a similar position to last year. Ideally I'd like those in before the first game but won't panic if...

    The Balance / When Will You Be Concerned....

    We sold Maddison to cover losses last year as the reduction in ticket prices didn't increase attendance sufficiently. With reverting back to our normal pricing structure it looks like they are targeting achieving the same budget without the need to sell in January.

    Have I missed an academy update?

    Personally is my concern is for the future of the academy. To me it seems the best way to move that forward is to establish what facilities are available. If CSF & Wasps are able to supply those details to the Trust I don't really see why they can't supply them to the club as well. Instead of...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    It would be more like you asking a car rental place what they could rent to you and them refusing to tell you. This is what concerns me. The goalposts are already moving. They don't seem to me to be mistakes in tweeting or something getting lost in translation, the statements were pretty...
