    Waghorn Rumour

    Wouldn’t mind signing Waghorn personally always thought he’s looked useful when he’s played against us. Im hoping Walker kicks on next season so assuming he’s our main man then Waghorn or Godden if we play two up. Like everyone I’d love a star striker signed but whose available and how much do...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Unfortunately the delta variant has changed the game. The need to double dose the adult population has obviously meant the original time lines have slipped. Disappointing as it is i think the public have naively convinced themselves the 21st was set in stone (something encouraged by Boris)...

    Season tickets posting

    Will they even be posted? Thought Boddy may have mentioned that rather than new cards we were getting digital season tickets? Big brother bio metric vaccine passports👀

    Whilst we all want this over I’m not sure what the harm is waiting a few more weeks to get more people jabbed. The good news is double vaccines work however this new variant has changed the picture and made the timelines harder to achieve. Rather than repeat the mistakes of last summer and...

    The 21st always struck me as the target they would have to row back on. I could never understand how you could remove the social distancing rules before all adults had received their first dose. likewise foreign travel; as much as we all would love a holiday why not just keep the borders shut...

    Just work I dont get school holidays unfortunately. Whole country has had their lives on hold for too long but let’s get this over and done with once and for all. A small delay on the last restrictions left isn’t as bad as having to reintroduce them because we couldn’t wait.

    Yes it was the Indian variant which is now becoming dominant I was referring too. Good news is that two doses work albeit the AZ vaccine given to older ages groups not so high although comparable to flu vaccine efficacy. How effective is one vaccine dose against Indian variant?

    Think it’s looking more and more likely that restrictions won’t all be lifted on the 21st. Whilst I don’t think we’re going to end up tightening the ones already released I think it’s prudent to just hold fire another month and see where we are. Vaccines are only 33% effective after one dose...

    Play-offs

    Derby -10+ points if they don’t get sent down this season. Then Blackpool or Lincoln coming up. Is it too early to think we stay up again next season?

    Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

    I don’t think Tyson is scared of AJ; but having seen some of the workouts and press recently it seems to me AJ is being ultra professional and Tyson not taking the threat too seriously (could be an act). For me it has always been a 50/50 Tyson would win on points but could also see AJ ironing...

    Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

    Does feel like Eddie has had been caught with his pants down. Although think AJ and Usyk is a really interesting fight if you like your technical boxing.

    Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

    Not buying some of this. Bob Arum will have known that the arbitrator would rule for Wilder & shock horror he is now stating raiders stadium on July 24th for the trilogy. I think team Fury have been playing games. Whilst AJ/Usyk and Fury/Wilder are both good fights they are also tough to call...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Re the 21st June I think part of the problem is Boris has over promised. Given not all adults are expected to have been jabbed until the end of July why would you remove all restrictions before then? In reality I think masks and 1 meter social distancing are here until the government can say we...

    Be interesting what they do re all restrictions going on the 21st June. The vibe on the news this morning certainly seems like that may not be the case. Always felt Boris was jumping the gun a bit to say all restrictions gone before everyone has had chance of vaccine. Likewise travel abroad -...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Looking at the early results I don’t think any of it is much of a shock. Labour haven’t shook off the hangover of Brexit and Corbin plus there’s a vaccine bounce for the tories and in times of crisis people want to support the government. The bigger problem long term for Labour is people in the...

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    Cant see it ever being called the Coventry Building Society Arena. Sure the trains have Coventry Arena rather than the Ricoh now mind. On the plus side though Cov BS have our colours so chances of the seats changing are unlikely. I was waiting for the Wasps Nest so pleasantly surprised.

    BT Sport

    I do wonder why the premier league don’t just create their own app/streaming service. But then without all the promotion from Sky would people sign up? Just seen that DAZN have signed Eddie Hearn’s boxing so if they did get BT’s sport portfolio may be a cheaper option to sky if the price is right.

    BT Sport

    Just seen that BT are discussing selling their sports channel. Suspicion is they may sell to Amazon or DAZN. Could this be the start of a serious decline in TV rights or will the streaming giants force rights higher? Whilst I know the intention of multiple rights packages was to increase...

    Membership / Season Tickets

    Whilst I’m hopeful vaccines will mean we get back to normal I’m not convinced they’ll be lifting social distancing measures on the 21st June. Whilst I think we’ll all be offered our first vaccine by end of July that still means we’re not fully vaccinated until end of October based on the 12...

    European breakaway league

    New twist rumours of a premier league revamp with Celtic & Rangers but down to 18 teams. Even with super league dead there are going to be big changes coming. Can see smaller Prem, EFL cup gone but possibly more payments down the pyramid to compensate.Old Firm are wanted in British League as...
