    Travellers everywhere!

    This problem occurs all over the country. Why can a law not be made so that as soon as they park up somewhere they shouldn't be all their vehicles can be seized. Councils have to provide sites for them yet they choose not to use them. Should also look into how they are taxed. We all have to...

    Mowbray Press Conference

    The annoyance I have with press conferences is when we get into the same thing every week and being told things we clearly know aren't correct. All the we'll sort it next week and everything is great, we're all working hard stuff is hard to take when we're in this sort of form. Not suggesting...

    Coventry Bears playing at the Ricoh

    I have no problem with them promoting the city but this just makes us look stupid. I would question why the bias towards rugby. It seems to me that the major beneficiary of a big rugby promotion in the city would be Wasps. Would be interested to know how much public money is going towards this...

    Coventry Bears playing at the Ricoh

    As I said I wasn't around much when this was happening but from what I have been told a plan was being looked into which was largely based around replacing or extending and referring the main stand and west stand. What was being looked at couldn't be done on the existing footprint so the council...

    Coventry Bears playing at the Ricoh

    Thats a very naive view Tony. You've said yourself in this thread there is a lot of interest in rugby, its hardly a marginalised sport that people have no awareness of. It also isn't a sport, compared to something like ice hockey, that is expensive to get involved in and needs specialist...

    Are the council not involved in this project then?

    You couldn't make it up. Next Milton Keynes will become the city of football.

    Jodi Jones - 4 Year Contract?

    Do you really expect him to say 'we all know he'll bugger off as soon as someone else is interested'?

    Manchester City, an English club?

    The name rings a bell but I can't place him. We've had so many people promising all sorts of things its hard to keep track!

    West Ham rent...discuss...

    There's a lot of parallels with our original deal at the Ricoh - enough that if I was a Hammers fan I'd be worried. They even said at the start of the season they needed to stay up for the move to work. The key for them will be naming rights, if that goes for enough then its basically rent...

    West Ham rent...discuss...

    West Ham get a hell of a lot of things included in their rent as well. Most of the staffing costs for running and maintaining the stadium are included for example.

    Millwall next week

    Have thought the same. I wouldn't have given it a second thought before all this nonsense from the police. Our away end can take 6,000, there shouldn't be a problem with allowing pretty much as many away supporters as want tickets. And aren't WMP basically saying they aren't competent enough to...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    You would get revenues not too different to a season of CCFC but you have to deduct costs whereas we pay matchday costs on top. And of course that assumes you can get market rate, its an extremely competitive market and promoters will play venues off against each other. So if for example...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    As an extremely rough guide work on about £2 - £3 per head assuming filled to capacity. Obviously it varies a pretty large amount due to name value, location, facilities. Of course out of that hire fee you will be expected to provide various services, stewarding for example. Some acts want a...

    Film Thread 2016

    When they announced that I thought it was a terrible idea but the trailer looks really good. Few decent looking comic book adaptions coming up, Suicide Squad, XMen Apocalypse, Doctor Strange and Captain America Civil War. Then there's the Independence Day sequel which could be terrible and...

    Deering now a Director

    Yes, given that they have on more than one occasion stated that the failure to do detailed enough due diligence when purchasing the club in the first place I suspect they would have made sure they did it properly this time.
