RFU won’t allow that, doesn’t mean they won’t move again though.

Should ask rugby school if we can play on their new pitch for a month looks lush. Believe it's the same type of Turf used at the Ricoh.

Wants compensation as well!! Sounded like controlled anger from Boddy.

Basically wasps have gone back on their commitment on relaying the pitch.

Depending on the talks on Monday we will know where we are going with the scum.

Just me talking but we could be heading out of Coventry again….

It’d have awful consequences for both sides. It won’t get to that. Suicidal for them, catastrophic for us.

Hope your right mate. Not good but wasps started this they need to accept responsibility and not deflect the problem away like a spoilt child that’s been caught out.

Those are loss leaders - sports clubs don’t run hotels casinos concert halls

Concerts make hardly any money, the exhibition hall is small time versus the NEC - the last place you’d locate a complex like this is 15 minutes from the biggest and better rival
Click to expand...

With a capacity of 12,000 standing, the concert hall is bigger than the likes of Liverpool and Nottingham Arenas and a similar size to Wembley Arena.

Sort the transport links and it should be aiming to compete or attract significantly more in that hall.

you do realise these events are not that common and attract a fixed fee. If it’s that popular then I guess wasps could sell the head lease make a profit and use it for the rugby club

Although as landlords Wasps are responsible for the stadium including the pitch questions have to be asked about us. That pitch hasn’t got into that condition over night surely someone from our club will have atleast gone and looked a week or so ago and once seen the condition must have had doubts the pitch would be fit to play on.

Just say 22000 today, sunshine, loads of beers sold, soft drinks and food galore, worth a lot of money, a rearranged fixture mid January on a Tuesday night just won't be the same, big compensation claim for sure.

He could have brought a ticket for one of the games if he was in any way concerned.
There is always a way if you want it.
Or he could have sent someone else. None of the games were sold out tickets were easy to come by.

So what you and , I think Grendel are saying , is that, no matter that ACL didn't replace the pitch as promised, no matter that the Rugby 7 s trashed the pitch, it's all the club's fault because Boddy didn't sneak in and carry out a pitch inspection

Well to be honest mate, he had on good authority from Wasps that they were maintaining it so why should he buy a ticket

‘We’ve narrowed the new stadium site down to three possible areas’

‘Had constructive talks with one local authority who are excited at the prospect of having our new stadium in their area.’

‘That ship has sailed!’

Or words to that effect.

Just three whoppers off the top of my head.

I'm fairly sure Robins mentioned the state of the pitch being raised on social media in his post match interview after Sunderland.

They are common. Excluding Ice Hockey matches, Nottingham Arena (hardly a staple venue compared to 02 Arena, NIA and Manchester Arena) has 32 concert type events between now and Jan 1st including Westlife, Rod Stewart and The Sugarbabes. There's not a single concert at the CBS in scheduled, just random exhibitions (not many either).

I have no idea how much money you make hosting those events but it's empty for half the year.
