Cant see the council not opening the gates. The bad PR alone is worth spending whatever it takes to get it open. Can’t imagine matchday costs are north of £100k and they can always try and recoup from any buyer or the club later if they really want.

Strange when you have 13000 ST holders

Means nothing. The club and supporters know that not even half would go.

Refund the 14 quid or whatever the match by match ST cost is immediately to any who aren't going.

We wouldn't take more than 5000 to Walsall, Burton, MK etc on a Tuesday night with how bad trains are currently.

Any juicy bits leaked out today or potential investors in the posh seat's?
Fisher, couple of heavies, and two guests popped into changing room area before game (about 1:30 ish).
Could have been just a routine "tour". Definitely wasn't Ashley.
(Although could have been a couple of doctors!!! :ROFLMAO: )

I suspect it might not be in the council's gift to open the stadium. But if ACL go into admin, the administrator would presumably be able to do so.

If it is Walsall I hope the club are going to say the kick off will be 8pm as it’s going to be no fun on the m6, very few of the fans will know where to park and even when we get in the ground where to sit so we don’t any seats that super fans want to sit in like those mad hatters.

The rumour I heard is definitely feeling like wishful thinking but here it is:

Hey, just wanted to let you know something I've heard (not sure if it's true)
NEC Group and Jon Dawkins are at the ground today talking to SISU about buying the club and the stadium. NEC want the club here because its regular income and want the exhibition hall because of capacity issues at the NEC.
Tuesday as it stands is at the CBS.

Again I don't know if this is true but I've heard it from a decent source but it sounds too good to be true so I don't know.

If all else fails could we play at the Alexander Stadium? Went for the Commonwealth Games and it's a nice enough ground, albeit the athletics track means a distance from the pitch. Problem really is the location.

Surely it’s the CBS Tuesday or nowhere. How on earth can they reticket potentially 13000 supporters ( even though loads won’t go) plus those who have bought tickets plus hospitality, away fans etc. unless it’s Turn Up and Sit Anywhere which would be almost impossible.

Fisher sat in his usual spot with Boddy today. There were no “guests” with them. When Fisher came to take his seat before the game, he had the biggest, self satisfied smirk on his face- noticible even for him.

And remember it's not just locking us out. There's businesses based there including the hotel and casino that would have to shut as well as exhibitions scheduled for next week.

Of course we don't know what will happen Monday and if the council, or anyone else really, will be in a position to do anything so that will be where the uncertainly is coming from. Until we know what happens with ACL its hard for anyone involved to make plans with any certainty

From a business perspective what is being said about the NEC there is very true. The NEC Arena is also shutting shortly for an extended period to have the roof raised and a big capacity increase. Even just in terms of music events adding the hall to the Utility and Resorts World Arenas would mean they are running three venues with a nice capacity bump between each one.

Not convinced much business is being done on a Saturday afternoon at a game though.

More to the point, it'll be the away fans most displaced? They would have bought tickets 2 weeks or so in advance.

I'm happy to go to the casino and lose a small fortune if that helps us through to the WC to sort this mess 🤟😁

There will be stories galore circling next week and speculation will be rife but my one hope in all of this is that Ann Lucas or any of her close associates read this forum, so they will hear our message “well done Ann, and in your moment of madness, look what a fuckin mess you made”.

99% sure Ann can’t read.

Wasps legends and former owners sound exactly the type of group that would want to move them back to London. The Women's team have already made the move back, their version of the former players association never moved to Cov in the first place, all their events were in London.

Surely nobody with half a brain would even consider playing championship rugby at the CBS and I doubt CRFC would be keen to ground share with them. Where else would they play here?
