I hope there's a good explanation why fuck all seems to have happened up till now.

Annoying that I have to read Gilberts tweets on here as he's blocked me on twitter, the best part is he blocked me for defending him to someone else

From the MR telegraph today it sees him saying it needs to be a New pitch and that we will be playing in house game's where fixtures are delayed.

Get the feeling he might need to back down on a new pitch for now. Best we’re getting is ‘Used - Satisfactory’

How much have you got?
Can you deliver it?
And how much are you charging?

We may need a whip round.

He said this while sounding very unknowledgable about the current situation around the pitch/ground

Guess that's the best way with negotiation though, start of the maximum possible.

How would that work though? Surely every penny of that should go towards the supposed hotel and not to keep their finances afloat to allow a hole in their rent income from us? Then again it’s Wasps and CCC we’re talking about!

Why is he a Bell end if he can put a consortium together to buy both the Arena and the club? You might not like what he says but he tells the fans as it is, there is no bullshit.

Why is he a bellend? You might not like what he says but at least its fucking accurate. I would welcome him if he could buy the club and the ground together, it cant be worse than where we are now.

He's said this all before that he was involved with Gary Hoffman to try and buy the club a while ago. I don't think he really is interested at all. He says these things to big his part up. If he does get a consortium together and they have enough money to buy and fund the club/stadium then great. Just can't see it

Yeah it really could have, why only now? Are they letting CCFC pay for it now or are they sorting it?

Would hope we try and get compensation for the missed games if possible?

You would think if WMCA are nervous about loaning them previously agreed money there is zero chance of the newer funding application being approved.

If today's announcement is that they are about to start working on the pitch, but Saturday's game is off, that cannot possibly be spun as 'positive news', that's a fucking joke. In my head they've been working on it for nearly two weeks. They are only starting now? Wtf.

It must be something that is a cost solution or expert service they’re bringing in to remedy the situation. This is out of the groundsman control.

Exactly this, why does there seem to be zero things happening other than the obvious watering and lights on the pitch?

If it needs digging up, relaying or whatever then surely that's two weeks wasted now?
