    Huddersfield versus Sheff Wednesday

    Both had decent games and made vital saves at the death. Class above any of our goalkeeping options currently.

    Colchester Match Thread

    Think that might actually be a better position for Haynes long term. Saying that I'm not sure if now is the time to be playing everyone out of position given recent form. Shows how weak our squad is when Barton, who wasn't even being considered a squad player a couple of weeks ago, can't be...

    wasps season ticket matching

    There's already an other sports section, maybe the Wasps threads should be moved to there.

    Block 15 - Closed off section

    Why did the scoreboard end up there in the first place? Its almost like they forgot to put a scoreboard in and then had to find somewhere to put it!

    Whatever happened to Les Reid

    Nah, I get too impatient waiting for my cuppa and don't let it brew properly, would never make a journalist!

    Whatever happened to Les Reid

    Numerous might be pushing it a bit! Happy to accept I could be wrong on his profile in the city prior to the ramping up of the Ricoh row. Personally I only became aware of him at that point but admittedly I don't live in the city so will take your word on that. Although I would point out I...

    Whatever happened to Les Reid

    Think he fell into the trap of believing his own hype. Lets face it when your a politics reporter for a local rag very few people know who you are. When he started reporting on the Ricoh shambles he became a 'name' among fans and seem to revel in it. Look at the phrasing of his articles, he...

    Wasps

    Is it possible to remove the bricks individually, are they even full bricks or just something stuck to a brick? For me while we're still playing there everything should remain where it is. If and when we move then I guess it would be down to individual brick 'owners' to decide what they want to...

    Colchester Match Thread

    Aren't Orient playing Crewe tomorrow, if we lose and it's not a draw in that match we're in the relegation places. Given that we struggle to even get a shot on target at home and are worse away I can't see anything but a defeat tomorrow and Sears is bound to get at least 1, 2-0 to them.

    Brian Kilcline on TalkSport today

    Used to enjoy going to the reserve games at HR back in the early nineties. Don't think it cost anything to get in with your ST and you'd see some pretty decent players. The main stand would be pretty full for some games, how many did that hold?

    Skyblues Iplayer - is it fully compatible with iPad ?

    it's not the greatest on any platform to be honest but you can download the Football League app for the iPad (although its actually an iPhone app so make sure you select to view them when you're looking for it) and listen to the commentary on there.

    18 month Status Report on Three Year Plan for New Stadium

    Everyone who's ever worked on even the smallest project knows that deadlines for various stages are put in place. So as they won't give us a date for anything you can draw one of two conclusions, either there is no plan at all or even SISU themselves are not confident in their ability to do...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I'm with you on that. One minute there's no way we're coming back then it's a mad panic to get back. Something happened, just not sure what. Part of me thinks, or maybe hopes would be more accurate, that even SISU can't be this incompetent to let the ground be purchased by Wasps while just...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    it would be nice if figures for paid attendance were released as well as total attendance (not just for this in general) but I guess we'll have to wait a while until there's not thousands of free tickets floating around to see what attendances level out to. The games against local teams will...

    Article on Pressly signings record..

    I think part of the problem is: a) we've got very lucky with the likes of McGoldrick and Clarke coming in and hitting some of the best form of their careers leading to high expectations. b) more scrutiny of our signings than any other club. Generally if a player comes in and doesn't do well...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Or given that its empty when we play and will likely be empty when they play have all the seating different colours to try and make it look less empty.

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Given that one stand has the sponsor on the seating anyway I wouldn't object to a compromise with Wasps at one end and Sky Blues at the other. Same with the seating, if they are planning on changing, but are committed to us staying, why not look for a compromise. Wasps away kit isn't too far...

    Ray is back

    All we need know is McGinnity, Richardson and Robinson to join him in a consortium and we'll have a full house! Its a big jump from being spotted at a game to mounting a takeover. I guess trying to be positive if he is planning something then he has a pretty good idea what he is getting into...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Rather worryingly it's also being reported on the Wasps forum that they've been told at their fans forums that a new 3G pitch is going down in the summer. Given that the FL don't allow 3G pitches that's going to be a bit of a problem for us if it is true.
