Getting a massive revamp, all the meeting rooms, hotel getting upgraded and redecorated, the front entrance getting a makeover, but no mention of any improvements in the stadium concourses. Surely wouldn’t cost the earth to cover all the exposed breeze blocks and pipe work, the place just looks unfinished. We use it more than anyone else.

Quite I was thinking that. How about sorting out the main areas rather than the fucking boardrooms….

I thought it just had a makeover within the last couple of years?

I'm sure the club and Frasers will ask for a bit of time on this. I don't think there has been much update to the rooms since it was opened so nearly 20 years..

I think over the next 5 years the stadium will be a world away from the condition Wasps left it in. For one the escalators in the casino hadn't worked since pre-covid and they've been serviced and fixed so progress around all the ground is ongoing.

It's amazing how quick they diapidate.
The concourses at some of the newer grounds in the championship resemble the ones we were going to in L2

There may be a legal issue here (anyone on here have any intel?)

I’m basing this on the potential legal angle of the 10 year lease with Wasps being considered a carry over liability to Frasers. The Council angle is unclear. Doug seems to be playing things down but does seem confident that a deal will be done at non-ridiculous rates.

To my mind there is a possibility of it going to a rent arbitration of some sort. For a new landlord to hike the rent of an existing leaseholder isn’t straightforward - sitting tenants have certain protections.

Hotel and meeting room spending has a straightforward cost benefit.

Spending on the CCFC side of things might not (I know an interim deal was done on the rent and the eviction notice served but what the legal situation was is to me unclear. “We’ve got the property so you are out” doesn’t usually fly in business) so maybe there is a wait and see going on by Frasers before shelling on the CCFC side.

A refresh of the exterior cladding would be nice. Looking very tired generally, with various shadows of old badges and previous parasites, sorry tenants.

Surely a good pressure wash would sort it out?

If they want people to spend more time and money at the stadium they should definitely sort the concourse out, it's like drinking in a cold and uninviting warehouse.

Why would they spend money on a bit of their property when it’s not certain that the main current tenants will be there. Fairly straightforward.

And assuming our new owner doesn't follow on with the traditional no-compromise disposition, of course...

I know it's not the responsibility of the stadiums owner but the surrounding area including the retail park is a complete shit tip, it's an absolute disgrace and a truly awful first impression of the city for any visitor.

There’s a lot of rubbish strewn all over the City. I guess it’s a hangover from the bins strikes and strong winds but the whole place needs a good clean up. Maybe people could start to organise mass litter picking events to sort out their own neighbourhoods.

If wasps were still here CCC would chuck a cool £15m their way to ‘support’ the project with a payback in 2080(ish).

And then repainted. Chunks of paint were being blown clean off in the Watford game when the wind picked up, looks tatty.

Remember the first home game each season at HR. Everything was in pristine condition.
