We're also a cash strapped business and making ourselves worse, you can only try and find a settlement and it doesn't feel like either party has

We've never done that before when sensing an opportunity...We're also a cash strapped business and making ourselves worse
I'm not saying i don't think it's a workable solution, the question of when is also an issue, Boddy says it was june when we were informed they weren't laying a new pitch, even if we'd have come to an agreement i don't think I'd have paid for a new pitch and then watched 66 games of 7s played on it before city get to play on it. I agree that both sides pointing at each other as to who sorts this out isn't going to get us playing there anytime soon.We're also a cash strapped business and making ourselves worse, you can only try and find a settlement and it doesn't feel like either party has

Is there any circumstance where the freeholder becomes responsible for upkeep and maintenance of the stadiumBetter that than being litigated for the rest I think.
Would imagine it would placate the EFL, whether they have any pressure or sanctions somehow the the ACL arm and not the team.

Which is exactly what I think wasps view was.I'm not saying i don't think it's a workable solution, the question of when is also an issue, Boddy says it was june when we were informed they weren't laying a new pitch, even if we'd have come to an agreement i don't think I'd have paid for a new pitch and then watched 66 games of 7s played on it before city get to play on it.

Their own support seemed shocked at the damage from the very start of the 7s which suggest the pitch was poor to start with.66 games I'd misleading- its 66 games of 7's
That's about the same impact on the pitch as 5 full games
Yeah could beI think it's building a charge large enough that can force their admin.
Indeed. Appreciate if anyone has a Telegraph subscription and can C+P the contentsSo it begins
You’re assuming the contract is watertight enough to make that legally possible.Wasps will still have to pay for lost revenue though , that's a separate claim

Yes, but then that’s irrelevant if the plan is to distress wasps into admin, which, to my mind, is a reckless strategy which does us significant damage also.And either party will still be around when it’s resolved
Certainly high risk. I'm not sure I agree with the argument you sort the pitch yourself, but there is a certain logic that, given the potential to lose major income for potentially a few weeks, you take the action to avoid it even if it's not technically or legally your responsibility. Who, after all, wants to be right but bankrupt?Yes, but then that’s irrelevant if the plan is to distress wasps into admin, which, to my mind, is a reckless strategy which does us significant damage also.
Yeah, as much as it has angered people I am sympathetic to Gs argument. It’s all well and good saying wasps should provide a useable pitch but it’s doesn’t solve anything when they have no money to do so.Certainly high risk.

Was he on CWR? Did anyone think to ask him if there's a plan / timescale to sort this.Boddy has said they’re looking at reversing the fixture and play at Huddersfield next week.

Absolutely
Any real CEO would way up benefits and risks.
We were told the two respective occupants of the role were on good terms
The problem would have been obvious months ago. The football club could have negotiated at that point. It didn’t have to be a total new pitch but a solution that would make the pitch workable. The clubs could have worked together and negotiated a sensible solution to benefit both parties.
If the football club did a proper risk valuation analysis on the situation it’s clear that they will be the ones this will have a potentially disastrous impact on - in fact almost to the point of zero income for weeks on end.
So a worked solution would easily have been achieved where up front costs are negotiated and long term rental adjustments made.
No normal companies would act like spoilt children sending strongly worded statements on their websites
It’s pathetic
Someone on here worked it out as 11 nornal rugby because of stoppages, etc. Not to mention warm ups etc.66 games I'd misleading- its 66 games of 7's
That's about the same impact on the pitch as 5 full games
Didn’t catch it all as was in the car but to me it sounded like he was very strongly hinting we’ll be moving grounds?Just listening to Boddy on the radio, this problem isn’t getting resolved quickly! Trying to move Huddersfield fixture….. you couldn’t make it up! Season is jeopardy already, very disappointing, very frustrating.

And whilst they have no rucks and mauls, they scoring and number constant restarts mean the same pitch Was getting hammered constantly for 3 days.

missed that, hopefully that part will make it to iplayer or whatever they call the radio thing but am I reading that right, we've tried giving financial help to get the pitch sorted and Wasps have refused.New pitch 100% needed- pitch totally ruined.
...wasps refusing to accept clubs financial support to lay a new pitch.
Triggered a dispute stage in contract.
