    George Floyd

    I see this too. Though I have issues with the 'if I say it's prejudiced it's prejudiced' line generally. But he can certainly say 'As a black man it made me feel this way' and people can choose not to want to make him feel that way even if they don't agree it's racist per se. Dammit I'm torn...

    George Floyd

    Yeah TBF on reflection I think that's probably right. It's about being big not black. I do agree that he's probably just had enough and it just happened the most recent thing wasn't the clearest cut.

    Helping Out Fellow Fans Part III – Season Ticket Fund

    Suppose I should probably donate considering I'm on the committee :ROFLMAO: (I was waiting for pay day, but think I'll last). Anyone who hasn't donated at least as much is not allowed to call me a council stooge as I've officially supported Sisu at St Andrews more than you :P £100+ donations...

    Those last 14 games or so we were like a steam train, just relentless.

    Request to waive NDA - email to Wasps, CCFC & Sisu

    Yup yup yup. A lot of people have always wanted to swing behind a 'team' in this and cast the 'other side' as evil and stupid. Life isn't a fairy tale guys. Both sides have aims and will communicate how they feel meets those aims best. The good work Boddy has done with CCFC outside of the...

    Got ya. Yeah agree, it looks very much like a falling out. So frustrating. Just wish they could put this crap behind them for the fans, clearly both sides still think there's money to be made from the Ricoh. While we're still like a jilted lover I won't believe we've 'got over' the Ricoh. As NW...

    George Floyd

    It's not. Water buffalo is an insult based on being black. All black people are black. Not all white people are Gammons. It's more like 'chav' or Karen in that it refers to an attitude mostly found in one race, but I could see an asian or black person being called a gammon if they displayed the...

    George Floyd

    Nah you’ve got completely the wrong end of the stick here. Gammon a) doesn’t apply to all white people and b) is about a complexion you get from a lifestyle not a race you are born with. It’s like calling Trump an umpa lumpa isn’t racist. Or my very pale mate Casper isn’t racist. Or calling...

    Online Sales Tax

    If high street retail is such a noble aim (I remain unconvinced of that premise), then surely you’ve got to fund local government properly and stop forcing them to make their money in rates? Slashing business rates just slashes social care spending and the like. If central government...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    What else needs to be done for the partnership with the Uni be confirmed (currently it’s referred to as a planned partnership)? Similarly why announce now before it’s confirmed? What actual agreements are currently in place? How much will be built alongside the stadium in terms of pubs/whatever...

    George Floyd

    Yeah but let’s be honest. As white guys, we’re pretty hard to genuinely offend with racist abuse. Louis CK does a good bit on this. I think I’m happy gammon isn’t racist. Probably not helpful to political debate, but oh so accurate.

    George Floyd

    OK so what about Trump the Cheeto? Is that cool because it’s artificial? Could gammon skin be classed as a lifestyle choice? I mean not all old white men have gammon skin. I assume it’s a result of choices. So does that make it ok?

    George Floyd

    Came across the CD scam when I was in NYC, never saw race come up once. No black gammons are there? I mean I use it and find it funny. But it’s specifically about their skin colour. Different when it’s white on white though. I would never call as Asian lad a bounty bar, But hear it all the...

    the housing market

    Honestly with that budget I’d move out of the South East. You’d live like kings anywhere else in the country.

    If you could maybe ask Dave to mark which of his statements I should be taking as gospel and which to ignore that’d help greatly. Cheers 👍

    Oi I haven’t actually left yet ;) But yes. It’s all my Dad. Or I’m Andy Goode. Or Weber Shandwick have got to me. Or whatever it is today. I can only assume your Dad was Fucking terrible at arguing his point. :D

    Right. And yet we spent six months negotiating with them and were “close to agreeing commercial terms”. And he just didn’t fancy mentioning this on the press release where he accused Wasps insistence on indemnity being the issue, or the reams of interviews over the last year where he said talks...

    While we’re at it, what happened to this promise from Joy? https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/breaking-coventry-city-owners-sisu-will-drop-legal-action-if-wasps-agree-fair-ricoh-deal-and-council-backs-new-stadium/ Clearer than the undertaking signed. She promised we would drop all action (not...

    It sounds like the sort of the thing that would precipitate a press release saying “couldn’t finish in time, sadly still at Brum for now, still working on it”, not a full on PR offensive TBH. And I say that because that’s what it was last year. And even if the EFL are locking us out of Cov for...
