    100 ball cricket

    I assume most cricket fans on here have seen these latest proposals from the ECB. Thoughts? https://www.ecb.co.uk/news/668162/ecb-presents-100-ball-domestic-game-for-men-and-women I'm all for thinking of new ways to get people in to cricket, but can't see that shaving 20 balls off an innings...

  4. Rail franchises extended

    https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/franchise-announcement For all the rail commuters out there, the two rail franchises which serve Southend have been extended today. I would assume that people would be happier to hear that C2C's has been extended by 16 months to September 2014 than Greater...

  5. Train fare rises

    Had to post this, as I am flabbergasted at what ATOC are saying in response to the 5.9% rise in fares that you poor sods have to put up with. Atoc said the fare increase would be used to pay for "new trains, faster services and better stations". 1) There won't be any new trains. Trains are...

    Liverpool Red Sox sold

    Apparently the owners of the Boston Red Sox have agreed to buy the Liverpool EPL franchise. Got to say this looks a good match up. Both franchises are notable for the annoyingness of their fans and for long droughts without winning the title. Neither franchise managed to make it to the...

  8. Stagecoach likely to take over NXEA and C2C

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8236388.stm Looks likely that Stagecoach will be the new operator of both of the Southend lines. Does anyone know if they currently run any other rail franchises and what their reputation is like? And will people be disappointed to see the back of National...

  9. C2C and NXEA under public ownership

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8127851.stm After the collapse of NXEC this morning, it appears that the DFT are looking at stripping NX of their other two franchises. Would people support this??

    According to the BBC site, the administrators at AFC Bournemouth are about to close the club for good. Sad enough to see a club go to he wall, but it raises a couple of points for you all to discuss. 1) Football, no matter how emotive, is a business, and therefore, needs to be run as such...
