Sorry if this had been answered on the W*SPS died thread but…

Where do we stand with ground staff that look after the pitch?

If W*sps have made everyone redundant that includes all ground staff.

Have we got an arrangement for our training ground ground’s people to do CBS or is there a shared arrangement with W*sps and CCFC with grounds staff?

No good having a ground not being buggered by the rugby if the pitch isn’t been looked after!

Any ideas?

Wouldn't they be employed by ACL?

As Nick says they would be employed by ACL I would have thought.

We also have our own team that look after Ryton who could step in and are probably involved anyway as there was 'our ground staff couldn't get access during the CWG' type comments during the whole pitch debacle.

Regrettably, upon appointment the Joint Administrators were required to make 167 employees redundant, including all members of the playing squads and coaching staff. A small number of employees have been retained to support with the orderly wind down of the company and the operation of the CBS Arena, which is unaffected by this administration and continues to trade as normal.

All F&B, stewards etc are from outsourced suppliers so it shouldn't effect the provision tonight. Unless of course those outsourced suppliers are concerned about ACL's ability to pay for their services and pull the plug or limit their services.....

I assume that’s why ACL hasn’t gone into admin and needs bridge funding.

I presume all suppliers would have insisted payment with order to ensure they are not out of pocket.

Although I still don't get that Wasps / CCC are saying how much of a successful business it is that it is anywhere near admin.

Just on a side note ref pitch, has it been confirmed which party paid for the pitch repairs?

If it was CCFC, was it paid to the repair company directly or via Wasps?

Hillsner, Biamou and Fisher are on the bars tonight. No draft though, cans of red stripe from Max’s mini-fridge from home. £7 each.

At least it will get a nice rest soon during the World Cup instead of having those lumps cuddling on it.
