    This WMCA / Reeves Stuff / Plot to oust Lucas

    I'd forgotten that bit. Shame the presenter didn't mention her insistence that ACL was 'washing its face'. Seem to recall when she was found out on that she blamed the information provided by the councils representatives at ACL, one of whom would have been Reeves. Anyone else would have faced...

    Top 6 Budget?

    Aren't you talking about two different things? Waggott and Brookfield have both, on the record, stated that we have a top 6 budget. The SCMP calculation is only coming in to it on the assumption that is the figure the FL uses in its benchmarking report. Of course if you have a maximum budget...

    Reda in with the Wednesday fans

    If you look on the club website or social media Reda is regularly doing the community engagement stuff. If the club had said he should be there and he wasn't then fair enough. For those complaining have you checked the attendance record of other injured players over the course of the season...

    This WMCA / Reeves Stuff / Plot to oust Lucas

    Doubt very much WMCA are paying that back, Lucas was on the radio a while ago spinning it as being to the cities advantage to have him doing both jobs.

    This WMCA / Reeves Stuff / Plot to oust Lucas

    The bit in the article about the local labour party members not getting to choose candidates as pro-Lucas candidates are being brought in from other areas is quite worrying. That certainly shouldn't be allowed.

    Season ticket next season? Yes or No?

    Should hopefully be living back in Cov by the start of next season so will be getting my first season ticket since I moved away (92/93 season was the first one I didn't get one for). They must be going on sale this week, they said at the SCG the early bird would run to the end of the season...

    Mowbray!!

    Can't see him resigning. Why would he be making signings like Jones if he wasn't planning to be here?

    Ricoh events and Wasps ticket outlet

    If you only use games after they moved to the Ricoh last season the average was 19,911 so the drop is even worse. Interestingly when I had a look into other teams that had moved it seems Wasps are the only team who's attendance dropped in the second season. Not a good sign. There also hasn't...

    This WMCA / Reeves Stuff / Plot to oust Lucas

    Interesting. Lucas does increasingly seem to run things along the lines of a dictatorship. When you have other councillors finding out things like the appointment of a stand in chief exec from the media that can't be a good thing. The lack of transparency is noticeable as well. They routinely...

    Why Boxing should be banned !

    That's because of the number of people who run marathons. Boxing mortality rate is 45.5 per 100K, marathon is 0.8.

    Mowbray!!

    6th or 8th isn't that important is it? Not like we're finishing 7th!

    Louis Theroux

    What a prick he was. So sad when Louis asked the women why she stayed with him. On a brighter note according to twitter Joe is still sober 6 months after filming and is doing fine.

    Mowbray!!

    Waggot said top 6, which I assume to be 6th. Brookfield said top quartile which would also be top 6. I would guess if it was higher than 6th they wouldn't be slow to make that known!

    Mowbray!!

    SISU, and all other club owners, would know as the FL compiles a benchmarking report which all clubs get. However its not made public. Waggot said last season we were in the top six for budget and Brookfield has said the same this season. Of course as we don't get to see the report we don't...

    Reda in with the Wednesday fans

    The club don't require injured players to attend games unless they have them lined up to do something with the JSBs or corporate so don't really see what the problem is. Are you annoyed because he wasn't at the game or because he was at a Sheff Wed game? Do you get annoyed when the likes of...

    Louis Theroux

    What an incredibly sad program. It must be hard to make programs like that and just remain an observer. There's a Stacey Dooley one on BBC3 at the moment about refugees which is hard going as well. Absolutely right. For rehab to work you have to want to do it, the window where a drink or drug...

    Ricoh events and Wasps ticket outlet

    Hedge funds are well known for giving money away as gifts. Doesn't matter if its a gift or not the suggestion is still to push back to unsustainable expenditure. Its that kind of chasing the dragon that go us in this mess.

    A few months ago you were complaining SISU wouldn't follow Richardsons example and 'have a punt'!

    Louis Theroux

    I want to see his scientology movie but its only been shown at film festivals so far as they are struggling to get distribution. Bit odd given his popularity and it comes under BBC Films. Conspiracy theory time! The man certainly has some guts. He was being interviewed on something the other...
