Surely that must have expired by now. The excuse for the council rushing everything through was a hotel was needed for City of Culture. That's been and gone, as has the CWG, with seemingly zero progress.

Why would Richardson get a loan for that anyway, if he wants to build a hotel and profit from it shouldn't he be paying. Not like there isn't other people trying to build hotels in the area who have been turned down.

Wasps owners unveil plans for Ricoh hotel

Photos show how it could look inside

Notice - "WASPS OWNERS" very similar to the Training Ground

The building option expired in 2020

Bloody hell proper work needs to start now!!!!!!

Speculating about playing in Leicester, Brum etc.

Leicester I’m sure they need the £1m from us

Coventry fans right now….

That's too sensible for SBT. You need...

Well it certainly looks greener than it did before, which seems to be getting peoples hopes up.

Still looks to be a lot of footmarks, and potential seams of turf which dont look to have joined together though.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

You’d hope for an announcement later today or tomorrow. Any later is taking the piss out of both sets of supporters

 

[cooperskyblue]

I mean from what Boddy was saying it isn't so much how it "looks" and how green it is (we have played on a lot worse looking pitches) but his concern and that of EFL etc seemed to be there is no substance underneath.

I’m hoping they’re all drafting a joint statement of action and timescales

 

[fernandopartridge]

I’m assuming this is a development fund earmarked for the hotel isn’t if?

There are 28 jobs associated with it so yeah probably about right. Also Richardson set up an SPV to develop the hotel didn't he? Outside of the Wasps group

Would hope something gets communicated , hopefully we have found a solution and we can give timescales , can’t see it getting turned around for Saturday the way it is though

Gilbert reporting there’s been some development on a new pitch being placed down

Might be because they have 12m pencilled in for their hotel for the City of Culture!??

I think that would make sense

He has intimated that there has been some movement on the rent. IE City paying for the new pitch and then paying reduced rental as an offset. Think they may have done it to try and calm the bond holder situation down due to the ongoing fiscal speculation.

Obviously want it resolved but it will be annoying to say the least if after all this the fix is to do something that could have been done before the season started

If we have to loan them the money for a pitch do you think the penny will finally drop with Wasps supporters that they're in the shit

Not sure it will be a brand new pitch but hopefully will be a solution to get us back playing by the end of the month

They have money now a loan from the West Midlands authority, as business issue ccfc could borrow from the same sorce if needs be financing the pitch shouldn’t be an issue now

Not sure the decision makers accepted it was necessary and they do now

Not Saturday?

Are they planning to go and dig someone else's pitch up in the middle of the night?

No.

They’ll be too busy necking pints of piss and fingering each other’s arses to notice.

Apparently work starting this week on the pitch.

Have you got a link? Have they said what work?

Surely groundsman have been working on it anyway?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Not Saturday?

I read that a damaged pitch could be repaired in a couple of days, if we worked through the night 24/7 I reckon it could be done by the weekend, might not be a billiard table but decent. I’m optimistic for Saturday but then again this time last week I was for tonight.

 

[MalcSB]

I think that would make sense

They can’t use that money for something else, and the money wasn’t for Wasps anyway.

Gilbert just tweeted to say positive announcement later today and work could start as early as this week.

Sounds like some solution to improve the pitch. Doubt it’s a new pitch. Let’s see what is announced later today.

Just the 10 days after the first game was called off…

No.

Just out of curiosity, any idea where this will be happening?

gave me a proper chuckle that did, thanks Clint.

Gilbert can't avail himself of the CT clickbait habit, can he?
