CBS aren't going to do anything that's not likely to make them money and buying the Arena is not an attractive investment to them. The problem with anyone buying it is going to be the bonds. You're looking at £35m minimum just so Wasps can clear that, compare that to what Wasps paid.

Would need the other clubs to agree and I’m sure most clubs will be looking to give players a break. Doubt they will be keen to keep them in and training just to play us

Did the club really know months ago it would be this bad? They knew it wasn’t being relaid but I’m not sure why people are jumping from that to they knew it would be unsafe to play a game on. This was the pitch a few weeks ago, if someone had posted that on here at the time and said the first 3...

Just popped on the Wasps forum in the hope they might finally now be acknowledging there's a problem only to find Shugs saying he hopes Wasps don't make any statement and "It’s quite obvious everything is being done to get it right". Completely delusional.

Was just going to say the same, the Telegraph when reporting on the planned pitch improvements mentioned how much Swansea pay to have a pitch suitable for duel sports.

We already paid, or at least contributed, to the heat lamps. Where does it end? If we're paying the cost of everything because Wasps have no money then that's a major contract renegotiation which I doubt would be quick as we'll want that cost offset elsewhere at the very least

Would be nice if the landlords could give us some indication of what they're doing to resolve this and how long it will take as there's already talk of Huddersfield being off as well...

Didn't he announce his retirement a year before he's actually retiring or something strange like that.

And when Wasps ruin it or hire it out for the rugby World Cup do we just pay to fix it again?

Said earlier in the week it was a bit concerning that nobody had mentioned what the plan actually was to fix it. Not asking much for an update from both clubs acknowledging the problem and giving a plan to resolve it.

You're right, it would be so unlike our owners to take legal action. I'm sure they'll just happily put up with the lack of income and potential fines and not expect anything from Wasps.

Realistically what action could the club have taken. What they were told was that a new pitch wasn't being laid as promised. It doesn't then follow automatically that Wasps are going to do fuck all to ensure the current pitch is fit for purpose. You can still have a reasonable exception that the...

What's even more pathetic is how their supporters have just accepted it without question. There's so many questions that need answering and all they got was 'everything's fine', yet they seem happy with that when very clearly there is a lot wrong.

Richardson is as bad, if not worse, than Sepalla. Just hired some PR and had a very compliant supporter base and media.

It would be incredibly harsh to get a points deduction, obviously its completely unacceptable but the club don't control the ground and if the landlords can't supply the most basic of requirements not sure its really on to punish the club with a points deduction. Now a nice big fine that's...

Guess the independent agronomist didn't think it was up to standard either. So much for Wasps passive aggressive statement implying games were being called off for no reason despite the initial assessment being made by an independent official.

Even Fisher wouldn't have gone that far

Is it the Robins is going to walk time of week again? This just seems like his usual expectation management to me, when has he ever come out and said everything is fantastic we're going to walk the league, promotion by Christmas.

He's alive!

Can you pick you seat when you try and buy a season ticket? Need the dot counters to take a look. Edit: just made a burner account on their ticketing site and you might not be far off with your guess.
