It seems that the first sports qtr is already up and running. Get the station refurbs sorted and we’re there.

Arf!
But willing to heap misery on the working classes by voting Tory, braying about Brexit, calling football "wendyball", labelling everything they don't like woke, singing incomprehensible, tuneless songs with at least 35 obscene verses and seeing nothing wrong whatsoever with necking a pint through a used jockstrap.

This. The piss-drinking twats.

Yes. I'm paul_e's biggest fan on here, but I can no longer accept his behaviour. You need to make a choice, Paul, you Zulu Warrior (I vomited a bit when I wrote that). It's intolerable.

What a load of utter bollocks, I've played and watched rugby for nearly 30 years and that has absolutely no relation to 99% of my experience. Do you think it would be fair or accurate to treat all football fans like hooligans from the 80s because that's exactly what you've done there. Also in my experience the farage loving racist twat element of football supporters are far more likely to be nati-woke than pretty much every rugby person I know. Maybe try meeting a few people instead of creating shitty caricatures of anything you don't like.

They can fuck off with that shit.
Money grabbing is going to far now
That opinion seems a bit OTT. I'm all for emphasising the role that we and the stadium play in developing the brand and the club's financial strength.
I just read the p.r. and thought "yeah, nice one".
Mister E, I am not angry just disappointed.

We should have our own pro rugby team play at VP. Birmingham Lions would be a good name.

You are really taking this far too seriously. I'm more than happy to deconstruct the absolute nonsense of the way we follow football in a similar way...or perhaps prog rock, heavy metal, cricket, The Sopranos or anything else that I like.

You basically accused me of being a brexit voting, anti-woke tory, there's no need for insults like that so yes, I don't like it.

In fairness, he got me to a T 😂

Just for the record, it was a joke and he didn’t

Watching rugby for 30 years will be what a normal person has to suffer when they go to hell. Usually it's for eternity but just an hour of rugby feels like an eternity.

why the latter can’t be bought  according to Hookey because it’s a full HMO

Sorry Percy it was a comment I heard a while ago and suggested it was owned and financed by the council so could not be purchased for commercial gain.

Not 100% on how true that is but it would make sense if the club could to buy up all the land between VP and Witton Station as a lot of it is a complete shithole with car breakers and car washing business which I'm not even sure are legit.

No worries mate. You could be right. But if people were re-housed I don’t see why anybody would have a problem with it. As I think I said earlier, I noticed there were vacancies when I passed the other day.
