    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Read one article about Wasps yesterday that said both the lease and the P share were greatly over valued in their accounts which surely is a bit dodgy.

    Hypothetical changes to the CBS

    Depending how much money someone wants to spend I'd be putting bars on restaurants on that bit of land between the shopping centre and ground and a massive footbridge to connect the two. If you were going all in then you'd look at buying up the industrial land to the north for things like a...

    Hypothetical changes to the CBS

    the inside is ok, personally think its a shit name but that cheap orange sign on the front needs replacing at the very least.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Can't speak for the rest of the city but one of my councillors who was standing in a recent election knocked on my door and, irrespective of party politics, was one of the most politically clueless people I've ever spoken to and I've read the politics thread on here!

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Seems a lot of wishful thinking in there. He also mentions Wasps fulfilling the rest of their fixtures this season and remaining a Premiership team yet they've made all the staff and players redundant. My understanding is if 2 games are called off you're out which would mean they would need a...

    Hypothetical changes to the CBS

    Couple of the bars in there could do with a rebrand. That shitty clubhouse, unless that's already gone in a past refurb, and the Anecdote could do with a rebrand, if not something related to the football club than at least something related to the city. Move back into the main changing rooms...

    Seen Wasps fans saying they're closing their HSBC accounts because they didn't loan them the money :ROFLMAO:

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    doubt one will be offered for sale without the other. some of the facilities are shared between the two so its not as simple as saying you'll sell the stadium bowl to one person and everything else to someone different.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Has ACL even published any accounts for a period since we came back from St Andrews? Not sure what people are thinking will happen with the stadium bowl. Unless you knock it down and build something else what would you replace our games with? Think it would be hard to find another sporting...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Might not ever be made public, or leaked, but I'd be very interested to know what sort of offers come in. The valuations for the bond always seemed high and rather conveniently always above the amount they needed them to be.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Is this purely because they end up looking like idiots if it all goes tits up? Too late for that isn't it, Wasps going pop did that. Not seeing the benefit to risking taxpayers money. One of the alleged big selling points of the Wasps deal was that the taxpayer was no longer involved. What do...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Why's he talking about "we are going to be recouping this week. We're going to look at what life in the Championship would be like, we're going to see if there is still the appetite" when the article says he's one of the people who was made redundant? The players will def hang around unpaid...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    That's the rumour, and its a pretty strong rumour. It first came out that structural engineers were called in due to cracks being discovered, which was of course denied by Wasps but they later had to admit it was correct. I wouldn't be confident that any work was done to a high standard, if at...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I'm not really seeing why to be honest. There's plenty of companies similar to the NEC Group around the world that own and operate stadiums that have sports teams as anchor tenants and it doesn't seem to be an issue. Why would it be for us? What are people expecting the NEC to do? They would...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I know we all said this before Wasps turned up but after the disaster its been for them can we really see another team giving it a go? Realistically who could come anywhere close to getting 10K let alone 30K? The NEC Group has been diversifying in the last couple of years into owning and...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    tbh I think the NEC taking over and not giving two hoots about us wouldn't be the worst thing. They can get on with running the hall and putting on events there and we can look after ourselves. Realistically we're not looking at much more than maintaining the pitch and doing that ourselves would...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure that's an argument she's going to win. Truss has already abandoned everything she ran on in her leadership campaign.
