    Whats happening at the Coventry Telegraph?

    You can’t do that. You’re on and if you come back that’s it AFAIK.

    Isn’t there a massive driver shortage o keep reading about? I’d have thought they wouldn’t be so gung ho about pissing the existing ones off.

    Just going off the social researchers I follow on Twitter. Property ownership also a factor. People tend to move right wing once they have assets to protect. Age of first home ownership has been increasing last few decades.

    Generaltheory I’ve seen is age is a proxy for education. So that’s why the changeover age is rising as increases in uni attendance flow up the demographics.

    Yeah I think this. Searches and everything should be part of a pack the seller provides. Searches themselves should be far cheaper as well, if I had the data I could do them all myself!

    the housing market

    Yeah I’ve already paid for the homebuyers survey on the one I’ve had an offer accepted on. I’ve emailed my broker to see if it’s too late to switch cos the survey hasn’t been done yet. I’m just nervous about losing both I guess. I’ve booked a viewing at the one that’s back on the market for...

    the housing market

    Well that’s it. It’s two different agents so neither would know really. I did really like this other house though and don’t want to buy somewhere and live in it for years just because I’m a nice guy lol!

    the housing market

    OK this is the best thread for this. Sorry if it’s off topic too much. I’ve had an offer accepted and put a mortgage application in earlier in the week. However I’ve just had the seller of a house I love come back to me andsay they’d now accept my offer as their sale has fallen through. What’s...

    Problem is the people complaining are retirees who care more about their dog walks than their commute to work.

    All time average attendances

    Thats the other side of the “show then were there” coin, the club needs to be in Cov to see the full potential. Basing it off five years in Brum would be a total shot in the dark if we’ve no idea how it’s impacted attendances.

    Just checking in to see if we’ve got to the comedy puns yet? No? I had The Adventures of Huckerby Finn all ready to go :(

    the housing market

    I’ll be honest, I try not to think about it too much. It’s an interesting problem space and good people, but the industry overall is full of Essex Tory Boy types.

    the housing market

    Yep. The place I’ve had an offer accepted on had a drive by bid in from an investor first. I work for a platform for small property investors and we are doing gang busters right now. I literally had to quit out of a Zoom call today because they couldn’t stop fellating “Boris” about how he’s...

    All time average attendances

    Nuts. Sorry. We were over 15k every season since the Ricoh in the Championship. No idea what your obsession with the Stoke game is but playing a shit dull team even a Prem one starting from a low base in the early rounds of the cup proves the square root of fuck all. 15k wouldn’t even be right...

    Agent valuation is such bollocks. They literally look for the three most similar houses sold recently and pick an average. Agents generally are pretty worthless in my experience, more a necessary evil. If I were selling I’d value it myself and PurpleBricks it if I had the time. I’m looking sub...

    All time average attendances

    Also worth pointing out that it used to be the case (haven’t looked recently) that a new ground gives a 30% increase. We went from 16k last season at HR to 21.3k first season at the Ricoh. Almost exactly a third. we’d likely be at 15/16k next year minimum, there’s every chance if we built a 20k...

    All time average attendances

    Nonsense. As ROS has pointed out once segregation and the like is taken out an 18k stadium is really 15k and we’d likely be above that next season, let alone after five years in the Championship.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    It’s ridiculous. What do they think was here before someone built half of Finham? They want things preserved in aspic and have had to reach for straws like traffic to justify it.
