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

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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.

    Fucking hell, is that the best they can come up with. How many of the present cabinet served under Johnson or Truss.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Complete guess on my part but I would imagine the first choice will be to flip the Blackburn, Wigan and QPR games to away games if at all possible.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Lets for a minute assume that when we signed that 10 year lease and announced the UoW stadium plan that the club was serious. Imagine that work started immediately, it wouldn't be open now so how would we be any better off? Its a complete red herring in this situation. We have a 10 year lease...

    If, as is being suggested by some, there is no interest in ACL and it is to be liquidated the lease will revert to the council won't it? So unless they're planning to close the place permanently / knock it down then either they're going to continue to run it themselves or attempt to sell the...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    As they aren't in admin shouldn't they be running as normal? Bit of a pisstake to turn round and say your event isn't going ahead unless you give us more money. Have they done the same to other events there this weekend, the casino, hotel etc?

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    A points deduction would be very harsh. This is completely out of our control. Sure there would come a point where the EFL are pushed too far but the WC break might come at a convenient time for us. Gives a few weeks to sort things out, even if its the worst case scenario of having to play games...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    What are the options on Monday. Presumably a further NOI is out of the equation so are we looking at a simple choice between admin & ACL continuing to operating while a buyer is found or immediate liquidation? If its liquidation doesn't that then revert everything back to the council who would...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Hopefully its just a case of paying for stewards etc, costs that would normally be passed on to us, and not much more on top of that. We simply don't have the money, or the owners, to cover keep making extra payments to play games.

    Interesting choice to use Gary Glitter as the soundtrack.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Sensible approach from the club in the circumstances. If something does happen and they hadn't looked into other options I'm sure there wouldn't be plenty of people on here ready to lay into them for not being prepared. Of course we all know the owners won't fund all this extra expenditure so...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Looking at the events happening next week there' s no signs of any concern or arrangements being made to move or postpone. There's exhibitors posting on social media that they're ready for events there at the start of next week. Obviously there's lots of unknowns but I don't think assuming the...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    multiple sources could just be the two posts online we already knew about. My neighbours runs a company that provides event services up there and as far as they are concerned everything is going ahead as usual.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    It would make no sense for Wasps to keep insisting there was no problem if they knew it was fucked and the CWG were paying to fix it. All it would have needed would have been a statement saying there was more damage than expected and the CWG are paying for the work required to bring it up to...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    What legal issues could the CWG have possibly had? They hired a venue, used the venue, returned the venue. Its not their responsibility to ensure the pitch is fit for professional football after their use. That's the reason other venues pulled out.

    Seems that after the government put the block on King Charles attending the COP27 summit Sunak has now pulled out. Good to see the new government taking climate change seriously.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Ricoh got it essentially for free because Wasps couldn't afford to take the signs down. Yet another thing that was denied at the time of course. I suspect that as with the Ericsson and Vodafone deals the CBS have actually paid very little.
