If Celtic are interested I think they'll struggle to hold on to them. Shame for them but a bonus for us!

I reckon he'll be in the Winter Olympic curling team. Have we got any ex-players who have represented their country at another sport?

Looked into this event a bit and it sounds like its a paid event. ie MTV are charging someone, presumably the Ricoh or the Council, a fixed fee to put the event on.

Generally a lot less than you would think. Don't know specifically for the Ricoh but I know of similar capacity venues that you can hire for less than £50K a day. Of course if you have someone like Oasis on you sell a ton of booze and make money that way. Not so much with this kind of thing as...

Nope, they lost that to the NEC.

That's way past anything I'm going to attempt! The fusebox has a big red switch which turns the whole thing on or off. Then there's 2 lots of black switches. Each set has a switch which turns all of that set off. They are all labelled but only 3 of them seem to be working. All the others are...

Why they feel the need to keep expanding the EU is beyond me. Should have stopped, at the latest, when they let the Nordic countries in back in 95. Since then its just been adding poorer counties in for the rest to support. You don't need to be an expert in politics, economics or similar to...

That's the problem. There was no plan in place. Its pretty obvious people who are having bombs dropped on them are going to try and get out. If you move away from the mainstream media you can see that, despite what we're told, its not just ISIS being bombed. Hospitals, schools etc are being...

Found this in the Telegraph archives:

I've project managed lots of similar events and put the budgets together. What is required for One Big Weekend shouldn't really be costing much more than £50K.

As far as I can tell. All the switches were still set to on when I checked so nothing has tripped it out. Its all fairly new (house is only about 3 years old), so you would hope it hasn't gone wrong already. At least I won't have to pay for it, just need to get them to actually send someone out!

Used to live in a flat and it was fine for years until the council decided to rent it and placed a stereotypical 'chav' couple in there. They would have massive fights (police were called on more than one occasion), had blood down the shared hallway one morning, shared front door got smashed in...

If so any ideas what might be wrong here. Was sat at home last night, lights flickered then everything went off for about 10 seconds. Came back on and then 5 minutes later went off again and stayed off. Thought it was a power cut but turned out to only be my house. The weird thing is the...

No chance it would have been anywhere near to £150K, more like a third of that. If CCC think it was £150K they are either doing something very wrong or money is going somewhere it shouldn't. But even if it was £150K you would have thought it was worth it to bring 10 times that into the city...

Its very odd. I can understand people booing if we're in a relegation battle and have just been thumped at home but we're having the best season most of us can remember!

They did indeed. Radio One Big Weekend 2011: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend/2011/lineup/ Which is, or at least was at the time, the largest free music event in Europe. And is broadcast on BBC radio and television. The host city has to stump up about £50K worth of infrastructure for the...

Maybe they should ask Lucas why, if this is worth so much to the area, the council turned down 2 free concerts at the Memorial headlined by Foo Fighters and Lady Gaga? Surely that would have had similar worth?

They need to have words with their PR team. Shouldn't really be tweeting last night saying there's a big announcement tomorrow if its not until next week.

This has happened a couple of times. You've got 4,600 empty in the away end and then the blocks that aren't open. Then lets say the Telegraph stand only had as many blocks open as the away end (does that sound right?). That's 9,200 empty seats which means in the main stand and the Tesco stand...

The tickets they do actually sell are cheaper than at Wycombe so you could have a bigger (paying) crowd but lower ticket revenues.
