I'm about halfway through rewatching King of the Hill after I picked them up when they were a fiver a series on iTunes. Even better than I remember them, well worth a watch.
There is no way we'd get treatment like that. At absolute best we'd be in the same division as Sphinx and Cov Utd. Look at how fragmented our fanbase is, can you really see everyone getting behind a new club?
Yes it is because I think its a good idea to look at what might happen rather than blindly going 'it can't get any worse' which we've said many times before and it always has.
I think if they purchased us it would be because they saw a financial benefit for themselves. If down the line a move...
Pretty much sums it up. The club now have more than enough evidence to make a decent case that they are being forced out. There's zero chance they will risk kicking us out of the league and spending years in court.
They're still going as well. Have their 30th anniversary tour coming up which includes a Birmingham date:

They were basically one guy, Roddy Frame, and a revolving door of others. He's still around, tours and records under his own name
They're still going.
Also still going and Ricky Ross, the lead singer, does a country show on BBC Radio Scotland.
I think a lot of people were put out by the way they behaved when they first got here. They made a lot of noise about having been in our position and being understanding landlord but didn't act like it.
Kicking us out of the dressing room the day after they had said at a trust meeting they...
They will be using those training facilities themselves. If we had the same owners we'd be the second thought in everything.
What happens if we have the same owners and they sell to an owner who wants to move Wasps back to London? They aren't likely to gift us the stadium to stay in Cov so...
They went bust in the recession. Lack of sponsorship essentially, by the end the coach was funding the team himself.
There has been attempts to expand the professional league in this country but all the expansion teams they have tried to start up have gone bust before playing a game.
Would...
The way they council fall over themselves to help them they'll probably rename the city.
So what other local teams are they planning to screw over? What sports are there where we don't have an existing team?
Pretty much sums them up when he talks about Wasps as a brand rather than a rugby club.
Seems people's minds are already made up. Find it very odd that Aaron Phillips, who was at best OK, got a bigger response when he came on than our own new signing.
I think that still holds true in a way. Thanks in large part to the BBC and C4 via the license fee we tend to make shows they wouldn't get made elsewhere. They are prepared to take a risk.
Would things like The Mighty Boosh, Toast, League of Gentlemen get made anywhere else?
Decent ratings for both. Wouldn't be surprised if they both go to series, think Porridge has more potential for a full series.
Surely we can't have a prime time BBC schedule in 2017 with Open All Hours, Porridge and Are You Being Served?
If they can run the club as self sustaining there is no benefit to them in selling, they may as well hang on to it and hope that a miracle happens and someone either makes them a silly offer or somehow we get into the PL and they can cash out.
Derek is brilliant. I'm pretty sure those that slagged it off and complained about the character of Derek didn't bother watching it.
One minute you're laughing your head of the next you're in tears.
Looks like there was a preview screening of a new episode at a film & TV fest last night. Quick check of twitter and those that were there saying it was excellent.
