    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

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

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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?

    Concert ticket advice

    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?

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    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.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    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

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Just been looking in twitter to see what the attendance was like given the big push and free tickets to find the ground emptier than a rainy Tuesday night opening round paint pot cup game. Seems to be a lot of supporters of other clubs pissed off as Dallaglio has suggested on BT Sport that the...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Am I reading that correctly? That bid depends on the club going into admin and the RFU confirming they won’t relegate Wasps as a result of administration as their financial issues are the result of covid. That seems a stretch to say the least, they were in a mess long before covid. And what...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Little bit of semantics really. We know Overson supports the club financially so I'm not sure it makes a huge difference if it was him or Fisher who signed the cheque, its still a case of Wasps not paying for it.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I work in the private sector and it defiantly doesn't happen in my industry, if anything wages are going down. For the last 10 years plus all I've heard about is a skills shortage. I can't remember the last time we were fully staffed as its seemingly impossible to recruit anyone. Yet I've had...
