I think you're right. About it being a vital game!

Excellent read from Nick Hoult.

Thanks for that WL. It is indeed an excellent read. Not often I agree with Scyld Berry

Encouraging financial news and fair play to Cameron- reciperating for the faith we showed by appointing him last season.

the Mail doesn't like me because I have an ad blocker

but I win though, because I just don't like them at all

not one bit

I presume we are offering Bangers first refusal for 2021 instead of this year

don't know what the good financial news is though

is it that FTECB have decided not to dock us 180 points in every competition for the next 5 years to penalise the other 17 counties for their share of a £61million bail out, after all?

He says that if the international match is cancelled the insurance payment will mean it won't be financially crippling!

Bostock said: 'We are insured for the England tickets we would have to refund. You lose the food, beverage and hospitality, but it is not going to take you under.



'But if we manage to get a Blast season off the ground and get some home Blast games, I think we will get record crowds.


'There will be such a pent-up demand to watch live sport, I think it will be a bit like after the Second World War when there were record crowds for all sporting events.'



But Bostock added: 'Fortunately over the last 18 months to two years, we have really worked hard at reorganising our business, paying down debt and putting ourselves in a stronger financial position.

'Thank God we've managed to do that because it means we can ride this year out, which we would not have been able to do two years ago. Two years ago, we definitely would have had to throw away the key.'

But the really good news is that Graves is definitely going on 31st August. Watmore, no case to answer to on Mailgate- now there's a surprise.

I don't know anything at all about Ian Watmore

The Mail ran a story attempting to discredit him,claiming he was about to be investigated for misconduct when he resigned from the FA. It was difficult to understand from the article exactly what the Mail were claiming, it appeared that he's been simply trying to appease some leading ELF clubs who were unhappy about their share of a tv deal. Transpires that it was a typical Mail non story.
