The headline to this article is certainly eye-catching: https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2024/feb/19/rfu-twickenham-wembley-stadium-rugby-union-england Digging deeper, surely the £660m figure is pie in the sky? Where on earth will the RFU find even the half of that mooted for the first phase...

I see international football will return to the GTech in the next international break with a mens' fixture between Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday 17 October. Ticket prices look decent. Maybe a chance for regulars to try out a different part of the stadium...

I see UEFA has scrapped the away goals rule in knockout ties in Europe. Perhaps inevitable due to the growth of the league format in the Champions League and Europa League etc. Will be missed at first... always felt like it helped add a bit of intrigue to these ties. I guess we'll have to let...

Browsing The Times at the weekend it reported that the EFL has confirmed it next expects all clubs to comply with the 'Rooney Rule' and ensure at least one BAME candidate is interviewed when a club is recruiting a new manager. Other snippets referred to Championship clubs altering the funding...

Any GPGers in the business of doing repairs to kitchen cookers? Looks like an element needs replaced in my one...

Train tickets now available for this one. £24 (with a railcard) seems like the cheapest option. I'd have thought the chances of this being selected by Sky at thin... so crack on with booking?

This will be the end of Leigh Griffiths' time at Hibs then! :eek: Quite a character. Described as a 'love rat' by the Scottish tabloids and also caused controversy on the pitch by diving etc this season. The ironic thing is the entire Hibs squad has been described as having no backbone and was...
