Didn't know blades shared their ground, but I'm not disputing it. What's key though, is how many of them rent without access to the other income streams? I don't know the answer, but that's always the point that SISU/Fisher come back to.

I don't think there was any way of either side reclaiming costs for the EU complaint. It was never a court case as such. However, you're spot on about the risk involved in an actual court case; there's no such thing as a certain outcome once you're in front of a judge, which is why so many...

At the end of the day, regardless of our opinions, it's about money. If, in the long term, building our own stadium with access to the full revenue streams is cheaper than renting at the Ricoh with access to none, then I think it could happen. I'm not sure it adds up unless you can get hold of...

I am baffled. The one thing I can see is the council pressuring Warwick University into making SISU back down. But what can the Uni offer CCFC that would give them that leverage over the club? The only thing I can think of is some sort of future deal regarding a new stadium, unlikely as that...

Still not sure where this new owner suddenly gets all of his money from. I know it's a bit rich coming from a CCFC fan after all of our SISU-related shenanigans, but I'm not sure that this will end well...

If "cheating on your girlfriend" means having sex with a woman too drunk to remember it, in a threesome with someone else and encouraging your mates to secretly film it from outside, then yes, I guess that's what he did. He was cleared on appeal because he could spend tens of thousands to...

Yep, that's not rare. I did ten years contracting, across two companies. Relatively expensive for them, but in IT it's not uncommon. Keeps the headcount down and comes out of a different budget. As for the council not having enough money to pay the binmen, that's a choice rather than a fact...

Completely agree that it's a farce, Otis, though in truth I thought you would have bought your own train by now. :)

There's a really obvious mistake here that people pretending to be in the know are making. If you're paying for agency staff, then you are covering not only their pay rates, which are likely to be higher, but you also have to pay the agency that provides them a commission on top. It's an...

Especially interesting given that 'Lulu' was coincidentally working in the house in June 2020 on the day of the party, but in November 2020 Johnson was begging for funds so that said imterior designer could start working on 'the tip' left by the notorious hotel-room trasher and vicar's daughter...

I'm sorry but that's rubbish. In my family and friends lockdown covered two significant, milestone birthdays and also two funerals. No one broke the rules, which was hard on everyone involved. Most respected lockdown, it's only people who think they're above the law that propogate this myth...

Spanked. Maybe playing in front of more than 500 people makes them nervous. 😁

And of course, good luck to you. Sounds like a proper adventure. I'm not sure I fancy Oz that much personally, but escaping from here sounds like a pretty good idea. 🙂

Memorise this phrase... "Cricket? Sorry, never heard of it mate. Is that one of those weird minority sports like Quidditch or Australian Rules Football?"

I've just got everyone I don't like on 'ignore'. Which is pretty much everyone. Who actually started this thread, anyway? 😁

And having read that last one again, it feels a bit mean-spirited. I don't really want Wasps to completely fail, that would be harsh on their genuine fans and the players and staff that have no blame attached. The ideal solution is for them to go approximately back to where they came from...

You've never done an actual dirty, manual job for a living, have you? You hate the unions because you've had all of the benefits of them, shorter working week, paid holidays, basic employment rights, safe working environment etc etc , without ever having to fight yourself for them. You think...

So if we're accepting that the same job would pay more elsewhere, here's a genuine question too. Why do the Council think that they shouldn't pay it?

It's a lot fucking easier than emptying bins for a living. I've been a Labour voter my whole life, most of this bunch aren't fit to use the name. HMOs, dodgy planning decisions, fucking the club over, and now making up bullshit over the bin strikes. Bollocks to them mate, let's call it for...

Actual figures available here, for those interested... https://www.coventry.gov.uk/downloads/file/36696/members_allowances_2020_-_2021 Duggins and Lucas over 40k, but presumably full time for that (or so I'd hope). 14.5k as a side-hustle isn't a bad knock though, plus preferential treatment...
