    Wembley Parking

    Thanks for the advice, I'll have a look. I remember parking on street in Liverpool once. At least they didn't get the alloys. :)

    Kind words, Fred. In fairness it's not exactly a cheap day out, and being on a Bank Holiday Monday doesn't make it easy for anyone with alternative plans already or with the kind of boss who isn't grateful to have his staff turn up on Tuesday reeking of beer and sounding like they've been...

    Wembley Parking

    I'm going to have to drive down on Monday by the looks of it. Just wondered if anyone here had any advice on where to park. More than happy to walk 20-30 minutes or possibly even a bit more, especially if that dodges a bit of traffic. Any hints or tips welcomed, with apologies if someone has...

    I dunno, first I have to go twice in 87 and now it's twice again in just over a year - following City down to Wembley all the time is killing me. :)

    Nolan

    Comes over as just another graceless oaf, sadly. Robins won that one on and off the pitch by having the class to praise Nolan for the tremendous job he's done at County (which is true, it's just a pity he relies on stone-age tactics and a healthy dose of obviously cynical ploys).

    Match Thread Notts County v Coventry Friday 18th May

    Astute management, get us down to a low enough level and we'll start winning things. ;) You know what mate, tonight I don't care; that second goal was a thing of rare beauty and that was a great game to watch!

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 12th May

    Much the same here mate, though I think if you're flapping your arms around, perhaps to try to distract your opponent, and as a result the ball hits one of them, then I'd say there's an element of deliberation. I think Robins was alluding to this in his post match interview. Either way, my...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Anyway, apologies for deserting you here Italia - I've got to go for now. Your overtime bills are crippling Wasps, you know that, right. :) Have a good evening mate, what's left of it anyway.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Yes - he took £10 million back out of Wasps, and only put money (secretly) back in when the bond offer would have failed its terms. How on earth can you turn that into an appetite for further investment? That's more spin that Shane Warne at his peak mate!

    Wasps current finances & hope

    In my opinion, if it should ever happen that Wasps leave, I think CCFC should be offered the Ricoh on the same terms as Wasps (secretly) bought it, including the 250-year lease. My gut feel is that it probably is undervalue at that price, but the council and Wasps are claiming it's fair. Are...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    The evidence is the 10 million he took out. Putting the 1.1 million in (and attempting to describe it as income rather than a loan) is better described as an act of desparation to stop the whole house of cards around the bond issue falling down. If he had sufficient funds and the willingness...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    That would be fine if I could see that your opinion was based on some kind of facts rather than self-interest. The plan would be that we'd be a football club, kind of like we are now, but probably not paying our rent to Wasps. Ideally that might give us a way back into owning the Ricoh or at...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    The response of someone who has clearly lost the argument but isn't man enough to admit it. The spin that you do here on Wasps behalf is staggering and your concept that CCFC need Wasps is frankly risible. I'm sorry mate, but whatever credibility you might have had when it comes to this (and...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I'm bothered because I've got some sort of a moral compass. Wasps failing here would be a massive poke in the eye for franchise sport. Also, Wasps moving out is probably our best hope of somehow obtaining the stadium that was built for us. What you're seeing here is a company with rather loose...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    In truth I find it a little odd that there are so few people holding Wasps up to scrutiny. Again, imagine the reaction on the CET and here if our owners got pulled up by the auditors for falsifying statements. It's not 'difficult' to represent a true picture to the auditors and the...

    Bugger, it looks like someone at Wasps found 50p to stick in the meter. :)

    They've obviously run out of money to pay italia, or perhaps they think that he's not giving them good value any more. ;)

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Good analysis, speedie87, like it. I know I'm probably the only person in the world with this opinion, and I know I keep banging on about it, but I'm still a long, long way from convinced about the 'independent' valuation of the Ricoh that Wasps are relying on. If Wasps should fold up...
