If it got damaged then fair enough.
Does Les Reid have the actual details that matter ?
What damage and what cost ? Are there details in the rent agreement about this kind of thing? Do CCFC agree they should pay it ?
Seems he has information about a pitch cost and has made the article a regurgitation of every other CCFC issue going.
Hate to see everybody get upset for a non story.

Surely IF it was an illegal sale it has to be reversed!
If you bought a phone in the pub and it turns out it was stolen, would the old bill allow you to keep it?!?! Why should something like this be different?

As I understand it this is not an illegal sale in the same way as selling goods that don't belong to you. There's no dispute over the ownership of the freehold or the ability to grant a lease to Wasps; the council clearly had those rights.

I believe the JR will be about whether the council followed a proper process in selling the lease to Wasps. The threat here is solely to the council and the possiblity of damages against them if they are shown to have acted unfairly - unless anyone here knows different there is no possiblity of the deal itself being unwound or Wasps suffering any kind of financial penalty.

However it's clearly in Wasps interests to stay close to the council. There are their current and future planning developments, plus lots of free PR of course. That's why they're pushing the club to drop the action, imho, I can see no other reason.

Are you saying he's printed a lie somewhere? If so, links please, and evidence other than your opinion as to the truth.

If you can't come up with that then what you've just said is just another ill-informed libel hidden behnd a cloak of anonymity.

I thought you went to home games? You would see how damaged it was before the game kicked off.

It was damaged before the game hence their press releases about it.

Yeah, I hate to see someone who claims to be a 'fan' pimping himself out for a few quid too. It's embarassing.

If you could arsed to read the article I think it answers a lot of those questions, but you're fully paid for and just here to add a bit of spin.

You've sold your right to comment on Wasps as a neutral, they own you mate. Enjoy the cash, and stop with the adverts unless you want to pay Nick the going rate.

What are the facts of the charges Wasps have made to CCFC regarding the pitch? When will the grow lamps begin to be used?

I'm on about additional damage that we are evidently being charged for above the damage already put down to matches.

I think we should actually claim for a reduction in the rent seeing as the playing surface is not up to an acceptable or agreed standard.

I have read the article and it says absolutely nothing about the damage inflicted or the costs charged.
I have as much right as anybody to comment on CCFC your just a plebe like me in these matters.
I can see it from both sides and would prefer to have some facts before I start going to my wardrobe and putting on my hair shirt.
Keep itching, but enjoying.

Well, I think that's easy nick surely! IF......... big IF, SISU are actually successful in the court cases that CCC illegally sold the ricoh to the outsiders, not only would CCC be in for a whipping, but where does that leave the owners of the stadium? Still owners? Surely not as it was ill gotten gains! (IF they're successful)!

Not quite as extreme as that but a modification of terms and conditions of the lease that would adversely affect Wasps.

just to be a little argumentative, having read the article and given everything else going on I do wonder how long it will be before we see a headline of "CCFC forced out of the Ricoh"

Seems to be an undertow of things heading that way, forced or otherwise, it wont be the owners fault of course it will all be down to Wasps, CCC, etc

Given the restrictions coming on income cant help thinking that it might suit

The council would probably say poor old Wasps and offer to pay for it, either that or they will look for a sponsor

They've been looking for a sponsor and have got precisely nowhere.

Sorry I meant for the pitch alone, it is obvious they are struggling to get a main sponsor as I said earlier nobody wants to be the second stadium sponsor it always gets called by the first one.

As it was on SKY I assume there are clips of the pitch at start of play, through the game and after?

I think they will have to dig the fucker up when the season ends anyway and start again if I were the WASPS I would start legal action against the company who installed it cos it's not doing the job it was bought for if you ask me.

The amount they want is hilarious. It's worth about 10% of their valuation.

Of course they would
Notice has been served that the legal action is planned.
Wasps will have sort legal advice on how it impacts them to be named as an interested party.
They would have also sought legal actions on the possible outcomes.
Separately they will have divised a plan of action for dealing with each possible outcome.
They will have also devised a plan to mitigate the risk at source.
However you already know this as you are not that niece to not think it possible.

If they have done nothing "wrong" they having nothing to worry about - have they?
Also the legal action is not against them is it?

By law it can happen. If the decision by a public entity was unlawful. The judge has it in his power as a remedy to reverse the decision.
However I also believe that us the most unlikely option. He could reverse the lease extension though.
Then I imagine Wasps and SISU would be suing the Government for compensation.

Took you a while to get the Wasps PR'athon going.

Did you not notice the pitch was shite before the game? I thought fans going on the pitch patting down the damage those useless lumps of lard at Wasps do, would be cause for a reward not a bill.

Hopeless attempts at profiteering from a club with its own financial issues.

I know you are firing this at Duffer, but I will put in an argument why he may make this accusation.

It might be because Italia has sounded off about how Wasps being here are in his business interests and how much cash he makes etc. (not all the time but he has on occasion) He also suggests that he has close links to the hierarchy of the club, and intimate knowledge of future business deals, suggesting he has some close personal business links to the club. It might be bollocks but if he puts it out there he is going to receive such accusations. I think the words playing with fire and getting burnt come to mind.
