Most people want them gone from what I can see on this thread, who is suggesting screwing CRFC over?

The local media should be pressing SISU on why they aren't trying to buy the stadium if it is available. Don't give them the chance to say 'we didn't know it was up for sale' and keep claiming they're building a new stadium when someone else buys it.

So that's two potential buyers who have said they will only buy Wasps after admin and there's already pressure after that idiot opened his mouth on BT Sport to ensure that get relegated if they go into admin as nobody believes this 'it was all down to covid' rubbish. Does Ashley have any...

You might be thinking of Birmingham Council, they owned the NEC but they needed money after they lost a court case about underpaying female employees and it was sold of to cover the cost of that.

Very strong smell. We've quickly moved from everything is sorted with HSBC to refinance the bonds, to there's def no possibility of administration, to multiple investors being interested to selling the club & stadium as one, to selling the club & stadium as one but only after administration, to...

I'd love to know the details of what happened with Wolves Civic, been closed since 2015 for the refurb so something has gone on there, its doesn't look much different now to before the refurb started! https://www.aegworldwide.com/divisions/sports

They've been diversifying into owning and operating other exhibition and concert venues. They will just want the venue.

the ones I want to see involved are AEG. not only would we get some decent gigs there would be a decent chance they'd buy us as well. they also tend to develop around their venues with bars, restaurants, cinemas etc.

Also if, as it seems, there is a stadium up for sale in the city why are the Telegraph and CWR not hammering SISU? They should be saying you want to own a stadium in the city, there's one for sale far cheaper than you can ever hope to build one. Put up or shut up.

If the rugby club get separated from the stadium you have to wonder about their long term future here. There wouldn't be much to tie them to a stadium far too big for them in a city where they aren't exactly welcomed with open arms and have little history. At what point does whoever end up...

NEC Group are a professional outfit, they're not going to come in and tell the football club to piss off or hike the rent to unsustainable levels. If anything they'll concentrate on the exhibition side of the business and be happy they've got a use for the stadium 20 plus event days a year

you think the NEC Group would kick out the biggest tenants of the stadium bowl who bring hundreds of thousands of people to the venue every year? if anything we'll become the priority and Wasps will be forced to fit in around our needs. I know some people think you can have a virtually...

That's the same reporter who has somehow managed to find out about two separate bids. Someone at Wasps leaking BS to try and drum up some interest?

They already do this over here for some shows and its rife in the US. Its an extension of their platinum tickets which were introduced when there was such a fuss about seatwave and getmein, both ticketmaster companies, ripping people off with high price resale tickets that had never actually...

how would this even work? If and when Truss is forced out don't they need another leadership election?

the arena becoming available at anything under a low end estimate for a new stadium would put real pressure on SISU. We all know they aren't building a stadium but you'd expect pressure to be put on them from media and fans if the stadium was available. Perfect time to call their bluff

its also backfired. there's uproar about it on social media, well as much uproar as there can be for a sport most people couldn't care less about, which means people will be watching the RFU for any hint of favouritism.

another sell out by the look of it :p given this was a local derby and therefore a strong away following, the call to arms to show up and show potential investors how huge they are and all the free tickets this is a truly appalling attendance

Should get a points deduction for that kit

don’t pay them, problem solved
