    Match Thread Gillingham v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 24th Sep

    There's nothing like having a settled side!

    RIP Labour

    But what you're suggesting is you have a democratic election for leader, then you don't like the result so you ignore it and do it again. You get the same result, so you ignore it and go again. How many times do you keep doing that and how much damage is it doing to the party? If those Labour...

    Time for Les!!!

    No its not that is it. There's two questions it raises for me. If Wasps, and I don't buy this its not Wasps its their owner and Chief Exec, own land right next to the Higgs why could that not be used for their training centre, essentially expand the Higgs. That would meet their promise of a new...

    Having a shocker at Old Trafford. The third goal from a corner would have us raging if we let it in.

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    How do these places work, are they a viable alternative to the type of academy we have (had?). Who funds it, do the players have to pay to attend?

    RIP Labour

    Where does that end? He'll stand again and win again. Unless they drastically change the rules, like scrapping one member one vote, which would alienate a massive percentage of the party members. If they don't agree with the direction of the party under a democratically elected leader with the...

    RIP Labour

    251,417 and 59.5% of the vote last time for Corbyn, 313,309 and 61.8% of the vote this time. But then you have 206,000 who didn't vote. Around 130,000 who joined after the retrospectively imposed deadline, the vast majority of which are thought to be Corbyn supporters. 60,000 did not get...

    Somerset and the Sunderland outrage

    I guess its the difference between a fix and just trying to create a situation where there will be a result one way or the other. Team A will let Team B score easily in the hope they declare and set a run chase. There's a set number of overs so it becomes like a one day match. Team A needs to...

    Somerset and the Sunderland outrage

    As long as its a legal delivery you're fine. Fixing a result would be fine but that's not really what they're doing. They're manufacturing a situation where either side can win rather than in just fading into a draw. Not that uncommon in cricket. Not underarm bowling but you often get a part...

    Debt list

    They were sold an investment by Ranson. They have never had any interest in owning a football club. Whatever he told them he convinced them he had a plan that would work and they agreed to fund it.

    Tyson Fury

    If he's got mental health issues is it the best idea to have box again at any point in the future? There's been studies linking boxing to an increased risk of developing depression and other mental issues. Still a lot of unknowns but is it wise to take the risk?

    Selling the training ground

    You were saying they could expand Ryton, they aren't going to be able to expand it by selling it!

    Petition SISU to sell the club

    Don't need one when the CT are paying all their staff to stay on twitter all day ;)

    They should do the big T one.

    Telegraph have been banned from Ryton

    Odd things to say if he hasn't got anything to back it up. Certainly interesting reading.

    Selling the training ground

    Think there's a very good reason we haven't heard that. There isn't one. We could possibly be OK in L1 but if we ever manage to get promoted we're screwed in terms of competitiveness. Unless someone is prepared to put in a lot of money they'll never get back I struggle to see how this gets...

    the phone in 23/9

    Isn't the rule that you have to give right of reply which they are doing if they are asking SISU to come on and they are refusing. Stuart, Clive and Geoff, as BBC presenters, have to remain impartial but there's nothing to stop them having a couple of people from the CT on to give SISU a good...

    New investors

    While my preference is always for business not to be done through the press this is a rare occasion where it would make sense. Any potential new owner, with even a vague hint of credibility, would be welcomed with open arms. Surely knowing there was someone to take over and getting rid of SISU...
