They're now blaming Gilbert as he's some sort of SISU plant trying to unsettle Wasps. Yet another shining example of Wasps fans having zero knowledge of recent history.

This thought crossed my mind before todays news. Was there an agreement to lend the money but then when due diligence, and a valuation on the ground, was done issues have come to light. They're trying to borrow right to the limit of the stadium previous valuation, if there's significant work...

Even if it is for work on the stadium, and not paying off debt, why should public money be used? This wouldn't be an option for any other business. The whole thing about them getting millions to put a new frontage on never sat well with me, surely they won't get more money thrown at them.

Is it April 1st, this has to be a wind up surely? In what sane world can a private business borrow tens of millions, not be able to pay it back, and get bailed out with public money. That's before you even consider they've just had over £5m in slightly dubious circumstances. This has to be a...

You only have to look at the response in the city to any success we have compared to any success they have. I had to google to find out but since they've been here they've reached the play off final twice and it hasn't registered at all with the vast majority of people in the city. Compare that...

Have they got a loan off Putin or something :ROFLMAO:

From a bondholder perspective surely the news is either you're getting your money or you're not. Would you really care where they were having to borrow it from or how many sources there are?

I would suggest if there's a new development in this saga and its positive news there would be no need to speak to bondholders. For example if the news tomorrow is they're getting paid its not really worth getting anyone on, if the news is there's a major problem then you'll get some mileage out...

Wishful thinking but if AEG took over the CBS it would not be out of the question that they also ended up taking over CCFC. They have a history of doing that and they have a history of their teams winning things. Would also mean a huge increase in the number of big name music acts at the CBS as...

AEG and NEC Group would be the first two calls I'd be making if I was looking to sell.

there were cracks that were thought to be cosmetic but turned out not to be. structural engineers were called in to asses the damage and all I got from my ACL contact before they left was that it was 'worse than feared'. I thought this was a known thing that was reported on at the time, albeit...

I guess the unknown here is just how serious, and therefore how expensive, the work the stadium requires is. We all know its more than a bit of cosmetic work and that structural engineers have been in to asses the extent of the problems but are we in potential St Andrews territory or something...

I think people forget how many people have some affiliation with CCFC as you phrase it. Easy to do when we were in freefall but look at the reaction to more positive events at the club, it doesn't just impact the 20K that turn up week in week out, the mood changes throughout the entire city.

The idea that it is impossible to build a new stadium in London or find someone to groundshare with was always clearly nonsense. How did Brentford and Wimbledon end up with new stadiums? If the argument was that the Ricoh was a cheaper option than that would be valid but brings you back to the...

What a complete shambles, on Friday 130 people were told they'd be on board the first flight, its already down to 11 and is expected to drop further. At this rate there will be more coming back the other way than we're sending out there! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61779845

Not sure that's the case. My work does, or at least did pre-pandemic, take me to many workplaces around the city and its rare to find a positive word about Wasps being in the city. In fact I've only met two people who regularly go to games. One was an old Welsh chap who loved rugby and would...

the last episode is really fucking grim, can't say what without spoiling it but pay attention to the warnings at the beginning if you're the type of person to get affected by stuff.

How much work does St Andrews need? if someone with the cash appears is it a quick fix or are they looking at stands staying closed for months while the work is done.

That was nearly a second wicket clean bowled leaving the ball.
