    All those mopeds in Solihull

    Absolutely SBT. They aren't bikers, they're better thought of as knobs on mopeds. In a year or two's time they'll be knobs in Corsas, and they are probably already also knobs on buses. The common denominator isn't their mode of transport. :) In fairness, when I was their age and riding my...

    Fan fail comment?

    Don't be daft Nick, the owners are clearly taunting us. Even on the official site they are calling us 'mugs' (http://ccfc.clubstore.co.uk/mugs).

    Fan fail comment?

    I'm glad it's not just me. SISU are sending me messages direct through the fillings in my teeth. "Burn it down!, Burn it down!", they say. ... must.... resist....

    Wasps finances 2016

    Nope - the voice of self-interest. Just imagine how much more you could get make out of Wasps if you got pay-per-click on your PR pieces for them here. You should drop them a line, maybe you could offer them naming rights for your signature line.

    Wasps finances 2016

    Yep, that's just about how I'd read it too. If I had one concern, it would be that I think that I don't see any really big areas of (edit) future growth on the pitch or in terms of attendance - in essence I think we're close to peak Wasps in that sense. They're pretty shrewd off the pitch in...

    As it's Halloween coming up. What's the scariest scene from a film or tv series ?

    You're very welcome. In truth BBR, I can't even imagine what it must be like to go through - it must be desparate for the people directly involved, and it's obviously been hard on you too. Regardless of all of the politics and opinions about the team and the owners, and no matter how ticked...

    As it's Halloween coming up. What's the scariest scene from a film or tv series ?

    Quite seriously BBR, that sounds a bit like PTSD to me. If it continues and it's intrusive I'd genuinely recommend talking to someone about it rather than trying to live with it - there are straightforward things that can help here. Think of it like you would a sports injury - if it's still...

    Coventry Cathedral to help Mediate?

    It's going to take more than just a vicar to sort this mess out - in fact even the Archbishop couldn't handle it. It's time to appeal to a higher power...

    Jon Sharp - BPA

    It's very nice, but the pitch is a bit bobbly. Probably better for rugby. :)

    Bournemouth have got, what, 11,500? They're in the prem. Straight question, not a trap, why do we need a 25,000 seater stadium?

    I tried my own protest

    Bugger. I'm the only one here who has no idea who Derek Acorah is, right? I've heard of Brian Blessed though.

    Jon Sharp - BPA

    In fairness I think that everyone is aware of SISU's history, and Jon Sharp's no mug - CRFC are heading in the right direction. I don't think that there's any risk of them losing control of the rugby club through this. Assuming there's any reality to the project, then the key for all parties...

    Jon Sharp - BPA

    That one is easy enough Otis, the covenant was suggested by the Council when they got wind of the possibility that CCFC might want to move in there. The stated reason was to "protect the Council's position". Regardless of all of the other issues, what does anyone think that "position" is...

    Observation!

    In that case what you're really saying is that as long as something is commercially feasible then it should be accepted. The problem with that, is that if our owners say that something is commerically necessary, you've got to take it on the chin or (politely) look like a hypocrite. The...

    Anti Wasp march / protests. Where are they ?

    Oh aye, yeah, and what exactly have you been doing then? Not going to games and shaking your fist in rage at the computer screen? Picture of Fisher on the dartboard? Mostly whining here? No need to answer, I can probably guess. You could always try organising something I suppose, but I'm...

    Anti Wasp march / protests. Where are they ?

    Moving from West London to Wycombe does not make Wasps a de facto franchise. No matter how much you repeat it, it does not make it true. Please stop making excuses, I've got more respect for people who just admit that they don't care about it than those who try to justify it using a thin layer...

    Anti Wasp march / protests. Where are they ?

    I think I'm as "anti-wasps" as anybody but I'm not about to join a march demanding that they leave. What I will do though is politely point out to any CCFC fan who I think hasn't understood, or indeed anyone else I know who goes there, why I think they shouldn't attend. It's their choice...

    Congratulations HH, that's some going. Do you start wrapping the Christmas presents in January? :)

    Observation!

    Where do you get the idea that objections to moving were feeble? It's a slightly different type of audience, much less likely to fight against the inevitable perhaps, but there were 3,000-odd signatures in the petition hastily done after it was announced. There were many Wasps fans who were...

    Observation!

    Good spot, although in context I think it makes sense. Unlike a double positive which can never ever represent a negative. Yeah, right. :)
