Nonsense, there was 1 bid on the table, and that became the valuation. If you want more money, you need more than 1 bidder. Period!!!

Competitively marketed to attract who exactly? It was public knowledge that the arena was empty and for sale, anyone could have expressed an interest or made an offer. It was costing ACL thousands of pounds a week to maintain, with no income streams. Exactly how long should they have sat on...

Wel tbh, I didn't see a long list of potential buyers!!! In fact there was only 1, which was 1 more than SISU bargained for. People say Wasps got the stadium on the cheap, but when there's only 1 buyer, and a seller has to sell, their offer becomes the dayfacto valuation. Ccfc had been...

The r The right answer is to get it playable ASAP, which is exactly what the groundstaff are doing as we speak. The club are hopefull that this will be achieved by next week. Then we will need to rearrange the cancelled fixtures, put in an ongoing heavy maintenance plan, and (hopefully) pursue...

The taxpayer has clearly and very obviously benefited by not having to foot the running costs along with the maintainance, repair and upkeep costs of a potentially empty stadium for the last 7 years.

Fuck me, that sounds sinister! Some poor fucker is going to wake up with a horses head in his bed !!!

The absolute last thing the council will want is to take over the CBS arena and all the subsequent costs involved.

I'm sure the club did know they'd be issues, but as tenants it's the landlords responsibility. You can't force a landlord to act, unless you take them to court. Which is exactly where I see this ending up. SISU have already gathered independent reports to support their case. Just give Wasps...

Back to the future!!!

But this is SISU's best chance for years of coming out of this with a long term solution. We just need a little more patience and Wasps will hand everything to SISU on a bright shiny silver plate.

Aren't we allready at last resort? Tbh, I think the pitch will be patched up and made playable (if not perfect) that will buy all sides some time, but there's still a legal matter regarding compensation. I'm sure Wasps received money from the CWG, some of that should now go to CCFC. if...

Pay for it themselves then sue Wasps for the cost and loss of revenue etc. Hopefully finishing then off for good.

Yes, as you can't have 1 club playing more home games than any other. That would be seen as an unfair advantage.

Total nonsense. SISU's stance regarding ACL is well documented, but to suggest they don't support the club is just plain rediculous. As your clearly a rugby fan you may have missed the miraculous resurgence we've witnessed under MR (our manager) and our rise from footballing oblivion (the...

You would of thought that Wasps would of factored in a major fee for pitch renovation when they agreed to rent the arena to the CWG. Surely someone at CCFC, should be asking how much money was made out of the short term lease. And what happened to the money they received?

Yea, that should be in good condition with all the shit that's on it.

That's just a normal Hamer tackle!

Serious question here, if you discard the tickets that Wasps constantly give away for free, would they actually sell enough to fill the Butt's Park Arena ?

Injuries to O'hare and Kelly have certainly highlighted how threadbare the squad is. Last season Eccles (for example) looked more than capable when coming off the bench for a 10 minute cameo against tiring players. But in his brief spell so far this season, he's looked way off the pace over 90...

When all the Wasps ownership nonsense is finally over, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some sort of "financial irregularities" are uncovered involving the Rugby club and the City Council. Not saying there is, just that I wouldn't be at all surprised.
