Wrexham money
at 15:12 11 Dec 2025

I found these statements interesting :

“Apollo investment raises questions again as to why the Welsh government needed to provide £18m of non-repayable grant …

State aid disclosures, which appear to have been written by an officer of Wrexham county borough council, claimed there was “no incentive for the private sector to pursue the project” of redeveloping the stadium, and that developing to international standard would be “commercially unviable”.

International football going to Wrexham ?

They can’t for obvious reasons at least not any lucrative multi year deals. That’s why they have so many players that will be out contract at the end of the season including Lake & Morgan. They are both in a strong position to negotiate hard with any French or English club as they know that they will both be offered a WRU contract but will have to play where they are told

No-one could blame them. They both seem quite injury prone & their careers could be over very quickly if they carry on accumulating regular injuries. I don’t see any incentive for them to stay with the ongoing shambles. They just need to work out the best financial deals for themselves & go for it. Loyalty & pats on the back won’t be paying their bills in ten years time

Falkland Oil field
at 16:27 8 Dec 2025

Oil companies will bid for operation & pay for the privilege to operate. They will pay a percentage of the price per barrel of oil produced . Pipelines are not essential in this day and age. Even in the North Sea deep water operations use mobile drilling rigs & floating production & storage operations vessels (FPSO) to extract crude oil & gas

Swansea City v Oxford United : Match day thread

Good to see so many positive comments. He has pedigree, came through Chelsea kids teams.

Unfortunately he got injured last season at a critical point when the first team squad had injuries or he may have had his chance. We ended up playing Naughton as a centre back for a few games. Let him stay there and play, now is not the time to bring him back

I read somewhere that the ban for gouging was between 12 weeks and 12 months. It looks like they have gone for the minimum. Hardly a surprise. What I was more amazed at were the sympathetic comments by Biggar & Warburton in the aftermath … cowardly & shameful and that’s just the comments, the intent was clear for all to see

Swans fans fears could become reality this December
at 14:25 4 Dec 2025

It has to be said that none of the on loan players have really cemented their position in the starting eleven. A couple of them are most definitely better than some of our own yet they continually get chopped & changed.

It was never clear under Sheehan nor is it now what our strongest starting line up looks like. As stated in the article the lack of staff with the right experience at the club is not helping. Due to this lack of focus survival is the only thing that matters now. The new coach has to identify his strongest players & play them. There is no room for experimentation or developing players whilst we are in the relegation mix. Survival first then reset (again). The lack of strategic direction on & off the pitch has been disastrous & it could still get worse

Black holes and OBR moles
at 19:21 30 Nov 2025

She was called out on misleading the house about the size of the black hole live on tv several times today. Her response was that she was proud to be bringing so many kids out of poverty. She never answered the question. She is a liar, she knew exactly what she was doing & so does everyone else now.

Judging by the number of sales on match days over a period of years I would say they know what they are doing - pretty decent authentic shish from memory

First time I went in there I can remember queuing at the bar then seeing someone open one of the huge American style fridges - filled from top-to-bottom with kebab skewers. Never seen so many, well worth a try too. Pub looks small from the outside but when you go in it’s room after room after room, usually pretty rammed in there but decent atmosphere for a mixed fans pub

Vitor Matos : The challenge is clear and it’s all here on the Indy
at 13:07 23 Nov 2025

I am not sure it can be concluded that we are ‘one of the better footballing sides in the division’. Obviously it depends on the definition of what makes a good side.

Good sides score more goals than the opposition, good sides keep clean sheets, good sides are hard to beat. Good footballing sides create chances Xg, shots on target, touches in the opposition box. We are lacking in all these departments. Whether this is down to coaching or the players we will soon find out.

Dominating possession, having more passes than the opposition, playing at walking pace, giving away possession easily does not make us a good footballing side. Many opposition managers say we are a good side when they have just beaten us. We are where we are, to say we are a good footballing side is grossly distorting the facts, the league table does not lie.

O’Dea named interim
at 15:02 21 Nov 2025

Understandable that everyone is writing off O’Dea as results have gone downhill since he arrived. However Sheehan was also seemingly unable to halt the slide when Williams (& Duff) were in charge. He may get 3 games, he could surprise us all

You’ve got to laugh they want Cardiff (in the east), another team in the east and a team in the west. Just pathetic. Good to see the Dragons walk out of their meeting. It would be good if the others have some solidarity. It is clear the WRU plan is to divide & conquer.

They will know him well. I think he’s a Kiwi & played international rugby for their junior sides. He came here because his chances of playing senior rugby for the All Black seniors were minimal

Agree with all that but anyone who has ever been to Middlesbrough would surely not be in a hurry to go back. Maybe that’s why meetings took place in London. Rough, rough, rough to put it mildly
