Please, don't get me started on them cunts!!!

The negotiations with the bidder were private. NOT the availability for sale of the Arena. I think there's some confusion there. And not all the value of the Arena was publicly owned, which muddies the waters still further. Either way, the whole saga is a massive cluster fuck of epic...

As I said, excluding CCFC from bidding is where it became a shit show. But its not illegal to exclude a bidder, especially when that bidder had wilfully broken a legally binding tenancy agreement with the seller. And as we all know, relations with SISU and Ann Lucas etc were hardly...

I wasn't privy to the discussions around a lease extention. In theory that would of significantly added to a value, but a value and a sale price are not the same thing. As I've said, you need at least 2 bidders to achieve anything like a decent price.

Tbf the whole world new we had left the stadium, anyone could of picked up the phone and contacted ACL or CCC if they were interested in bidding. And Wasps had the right to request to have their business conducted in private. I'm sure the reality was that CCC just wanted rid ASAP, and didn't...

CCFC's actions may not have LEGALLY, prevented them from bidding, but there was no way they were going to be considered by the seller. (And yes, that's where it becomes a shit show) As far as ACL/CCC/Higgs Trust were concerned, SISU had become untrustworthy, and the clubs announcement...

I wish them well, and I bet they are happy the weather is changing.

So who else was looking to bid Grendel? You need bidders to have a bid process.

What other parties, there wernt any. In what world are you thinking there's loads of football clubs (or anyone else) looking for a 30k seater stadium in Cov?

Are they going to visit all 4 of our home grounds?

An independent valuation means nothing. The Stadium was worth exactly what the highest bidder offered. When there's only one bidder and no reserve, they walk away with the prize. That is the value.

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!!!
