Looking at the events happening next week there' s no signs of any concern or arrangements being made to move or postpone. There's exhibitors posting on social media that they're ready for events there at the start of next week. Obviously there's lots of unknowns but I don't think assuming the...

multiple sources could just be the two posts online we already knew about. My neighbours runs a company that provides event services up there and as far as they are concerned everything is going ahead as usual.

It would make no sense for Wasps to keep insisting there was no problem if they knew it was fucked and the CWG were paying to fix it. All it would have needed would have been a statement saying there was more damage than expected and the CWG are paying for the work required to bring it up to...

What legal issues could the CWG have possibly had? They hired a venue, used the venue, returned the venue. Its not their responsibility to ensure the pitch is fit for professional football after their use. That's the reason other venues pulled out.

Seems that after the government put the block on King Charles attending the COP27 summit Sunak has now pulled out. Good to see the new government taking climate change seriously.

Ricoh got it essentially for free because Wasps couldn't afford to take the signs down. Yet another thing that was denied at the time of course. I suspect that as with the Ericsson and Vodafone deals the CBS have actually paid very little.

You don't really need the freehold if there's a 250 year lease available. Can anyone see the CBS still being here in 250 years. Would be well past the end of its expected life.

IMO if SISU were to buy the stadium there's no way they're running it themselves. They will contract in someone to run the complex, they previously had talks with AEG which reached the point that AEG gave a presentation to the council. This is something the NEC Group do at other venues so I'd...

Possibly not quite the defence they think it is

Wonder if Ashley and Seppella's paths have ever crossed before. Unlikley but they both deal in buying up distressed businesses so you never know.

Is that actually a rule or was it just some random steward that didn't like you

I know a few music venues that have had issues like this and they just get down the cash and carry and stock up on cans. Can't be that difficult to just get Dhillons in if needed.

there's def concerns around SISU ending up owning the ground but on the positive side this could be the beginning of the end for them. get the council to stump up for any repairs needed, get the lease on the cheap, then sell the club and stadium off. that's probably the best return they'll...

Is it a major problem unless you actually believe it? This is Sepallas chance, if she wants the stadium then make a move. If she doesn't then we need a longer term deal at the CBS and the hope would be that under totally new ownership a line could be drawn under all the shit that's gone on in...

The NEC Group have been taking on other venues recently and I'm sure there are some that are relatively local. Maybe the CBS is suitable for different sized events to the ones the NEC takes and instead of turning business away they could push it to an alternate venue they operate. It might...

In my experience it works out cheaper to get someone in to do the job than for me to attempt it, completely fuck it up, and have to pay someone to sort the mess.

There's some bizarre appointments. Its not like Braverman was any good at the job, she was truly appalling. Raab back to justice is even more bizarre, he was a complete fuck up in that role and things didn't get sorted until someone else came in to clear his mess up. So many Johnson cabinet...

These pricks will say anything if they think it will benefit them.

I feel you're arguing a different point. I'm not saying there's no benefit to having the complex there, I'm saying it was touted as the initial part of wider regeneration in the area and other than the arena park itself there appears to be very little regeneration in the area.

Remember the discussion on this back when it happened and we all got told we were wrong and that the sale price of both ACL and then the lease extension to Wasps weren't linked to the valuation Wasps gave for the purposes of issuing the bond but it never stacked up for me. Always stuggled to see...
