Well whether it actually happens or not it's a possibility, even a slim one. I'm just not convinced it's 4-D chess being played by Boddy and that he was delighted at losing out on the revenue.
Will the club really receive an EFL sanction though? Or is that just yet another stick for Boddy to use to publicly beat Wasps with and conjure more vitriol towards them?

probably - they’ll no doubt get some funding for a court battle
It's obviously not 4-D chess.
That being said there's clearly something going on, as the narrative coming out of the club raises far too many questions to be taken seriously.
Think when they are on CCFC duty , they have to wear CCFC clothing same as when Wasps play they will wear Wasps clothingI've worked on the concourse the last 2 pre seasons and we do have groundsman working on the pitch constantly. All wearing CCFC clothing.
How barmy is that?
They will not get the ST money until the game is played. The walk up money is going to be lost in the main
Not to mention the immediate £30k>£40k to play tomorrow in Burton
IF the EFL said we can’t play games away from home and we asked them, it seems it will be hard to get a sanction , as we put a solution in place in case this happensWill the club really receive an EFL sanction though?

Well there is, they're sniffing blood about Wasps going under and/or the stadium coming up for grabs. But that doesn't detract from us being desperately short of cash ourselves and on the balance of probability preferring to have played on Sunday.
No it isn’t. Wasps have told bondholders they won’t be raising the finance by then, and are putting together a proposal to extend the term of the bond which holders have to vote on.Isn't the bond due again on the 12th, might be linked to that
Only paid really through a player orwasn’t there significant investment funding when the club went to sixfields?

And what could they have done about it?We’re either incredibly naive, someone massively cocked up or there is something we’re not being told.
Everyone and their dogs (except for Anthony Hornsby) could have told you that pitch was wrecked by the CWG, and unless there was a secret pitch relaying in the middle of the night it was going to start like that for the Rotherham game. If no-one at the club realised that then it’s on them.
Unless the proposed WMAC grant moves to any new owners why would anyone want the stadium
£20m of dilaps?
It will be more than an implied term, it is an EFL requirement.You shouldn't have to, and as for the contract situation if you're renting the Arena for the purpose of playing football matches it's surely an implied term that the venue will be of a standard that will allow that to happen. It's literally not fit for purpose.
As for what that means though in terms of reparations is another thing. The contract may well be voidable, but the club aren't going to want to do that, but If there's no specific clause included regarding compensation I don't know what you can do other than set in motion yet another court case demanding loss of earnings and/or recouping costs incurred.
From the sounds of it I doubt we can make a claim about having a new pitch as it comes across that was more a gentleman's agreement than contractual, but the pitch not passing an inspection is an avenue that is definitely open.
Depends what the purchase price is.Unless the proposed WMAC grant moves to any new owners why would anyone want the stadium

CBS must be finding this hugely embarassing
I think the general upkeep pieceFair, I ’m losing track of all pitch talk and thought this was about the general upkeep not the re-lay.
The lack of communication on this shows Wasps have no immediate solution and probably have bigger concerns , than making sure football can be played on the pitchProbably Boddy or Vaughan.
Not sure I fancy finding out the answer to that.And if SISU/the club do smell blood, what lengths are they willing to go to in order to apply further pressure?

It's one of them as a sponsor, can't do right for doing wrong! The CEO lead principality when they sponsored the stadium in Cardiff.CBS must be finding this hugely embarassing
I doubt it - it's not a reflection on them, and they've already had coverage in The Times.CBS must be finding this hugely embarassing
If the ten year lease does have something in there about pitch maintenance, then I'm fully prepared to accept that SISU just sat back waiting for this to explode rather than assisting getting the pitch ready.
ExactlyWell worked out!
But if you apply that logic to the WASPs valuation it does not come to £60m
I'm sorry and it is painful to say this, but for an impartial observer the club relying on a statement about relaying the pitch made some time ago in lieu of having a day to day relationship is just ridiculous
Our person delivering messages is just a lot more believed but it’s all the same
WASPs said they would spend £100k on pitch - so far £7k. That's a lot of sand - which is useless
as I’ve said Vaughan and Eastwood are from the same smarm school and show the same levels of honesty as your pal fisher
Are you saying my comment is not true?
