    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Hope there's an extension until the WC break and then they get something a bit longer term sorted while that's going on. Not necessarily expecting a deal to be completed that quickly but at least get something in place so we're not waiting for confirmation every week that we can actually play.

    We all knew there was significant repair work was needed even if it was yet another thing the Wasps supporters kept insisting we had made up. Anyone bidding is obviously going to factor that in to their offer. No way Ashley is bidding for the stadium and not considering the football club at...

    logically the better dressing room would either be shared so whoever is playing gets it or goes to the 'bigger' club who make more use of it. we should certainly be asking that question. I can't imagine other championship rugby clubs have huge dressing rooms so shouldn't be a problem for them.

    I think I'm the only cov fan that doesn't have an inside contact at the club :D

    And they wonder why a lot of people in the city took a disliking to them.

    Probably more like when we get told we're leaving no stone unturned in assembling the greatest squad in the history of football.

    Is anybody actually acting on behalf of the bondholders to enforce any of this? The trustee seems to have done fuck all up to now. Didn't the bond prospectus say something about the lease being security but others, ie the council, potentially having claim to it as well?

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Some of you have clearly never rented a house if you think landlords spring into action as soon as repairs are needed

    We wouldn't need to insure the building, that's someone else's problem. We'd need single event insurance and realistically that's just a case of speaking to the provider and ensuring cover continues on the current terms on a match by match basis.

    What on earth has happened to Sri Lanka today, have they completely forgotten how to bat.

    What would actually need paying for on a match day that we don't already pay for? We already pay everyone on the CCFC side obviously, and we pay for stewards and policing. We supply ground staff, although there is also ground staff employed by ACL I'm sure we could manage without them. The f&b...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I think it very much depends on the circumstances. Being forced to play elsewhere accompanied by a statement saying they offered to pay costs over and above the rent to ensure games went ahead and are actively working to purchase the lease would be a very different situation to just having let...

    That's a shift in position from Duggins isn't it, albeit a subtle one. Seems to have gone from doing everything we can to nothing to do with us speak to the administrator. Bit tricky given as far as anyone is aware ACL isn't yet in administration.
