    explosion near dortmund bus

    Game postponed but its looking like the cause was a fan's flare or similar rather than anything more sinister.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    That was hugely disappointing. To let them just roll up unchallenged was poor by anyones standards. The other issue with the Wasps coverage is how lightly they get away with things. Fisher comes out with something and experts are dragged out, FOIs sent in etc. Wasps say anything and it goes...

    Sky Blue Trust and Fan Ownership

    One thing that stuck in my mind from the ownership meeting was how it was stressed the trust needed to maintain a good relationship with the current owners and be totally separated from any protests. Yet today, when they post about ownership, they also do a mail out about the JHW protest planned...

    Top 8 budget

    Realistically what do you do to fill those seats? Look at this weekend, just won the cup, legends day, glorious sunshine and a tenner to get in and barely any increase in attendance.

    Top 8 budget

    Lets say Fisher does that. Consider that its highly unlikely we'll get 10K in L2 given our best season in L1 we just about managed 12K. So when we're well short on the budget what then? Add in the ever increasing matchday costs and you're north of £.5m to play at the Ricoh.

    Clubs to Vote in May wether Checkatrade Trophy Should Be Scrapped

    Get rid of the U21s is the best option there. If they scrap it now we can remain current holders forever!

    Top 8 budget

    Given that we're told virtually nobody is getting a season ticket why would we be budgeting on having some of the biggest crowds in the division? 5K average attendance would put is 8th in the L2 attendance table. If our season ticket renewals are at the levels being suggested that sort of...

    Not my opinion, that's what happened.

    ricoh arena sponsorship

    There was a discussion about rugby on the radio the other day. Didn't pay it a huge amount of attention but a couple of points being made got my attention. Apparently all is not well in the Premiership with a dispute looming between the players and the league over changes to the length of the...

    ricoh arena sponsorship

    Ricoh were going to let the sponsorship expire and not renew. ACL didn't, and still don't have a new sponsor in place so would have had to double up on work, i.e.: pay once to have all the Ricoh signage removed and then pay again to have the new sponsors put up. When ACL saw how much that was...

    Lot of bonds being offloaded since the start of the year.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Hoffman and Elliot were involved in whatever plan the Trust have.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    But we'd be expected to welcome owners who happily move teams around the country and base their finances on high debt and companies registered in the Caymens :banghead:

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I didn't believe it at first but now I think there might be something in it! Could believe that Hoffman and Elliot still had interest but the idea they managed to formulate a bid on Friday in a Costa and have it accepted the next day is stretching it. The 'proof' doesn't give proof of anything...

    Trust Survey 2017

    Never voted but renewing. Majority around me (block 20) say they are renewing. I'm not renewing because its an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon. More that if I don't renew and go down the 'pick which matches to attend' route I'd probably end up never going. Lets face it even with a...
