CBS Arena (5 Viewers)

Getting a massive revamp, all the meeting rooms, hotel getting upgraded and redecorated, the front entrance getting a makeover, but no mention of any improvements in the stadium concourses. Surely wouldn’t cost the earth to cover all the exposed breeze blocks and pipe work, the place just looks unfinished. We use it more than anyone else.

Quite I was thinking that. How about sorting out the main areas rather than the fucking boardrooms….

I thought it just had a makeover within the last couple of years?

 

[SkyB]

I'm sure the club and Frasers will ask for a bit of time on this. I don't think there has been much update to the rooms since it was opened so nearly 20 years..

I think over the next 5 years the stadium will be a world away from the condition Wasps left it in. For one the escalators in the casino hadn't worked since pre-covid and they've been serviced and fixed so progress around all the ground is ongoing.

It's amazing how quick they diapidate.
The concourses at some of the newer grounds in the championship resemble the ones we were going to in L2

 

[Greggs]

All the egg chasing piss drinking stuff gone from concourse, which is nice

There may be a legal issue here (anyone on here have any intel?)

I’m basing this on the potential legal angle of the 10 year lease with Wasps being considered a carry over liability to Frasers. The Council angle is unclear. Doug seems to be playing things down but does seem confident that a deal will be done at non-ridiculous rates.

To my mind there is a possibility of it going to a rent arbitration of some sort. For a new landlord to hike the rent of an existing leaseholder isn’t straightforward - sitting tenants have certain protections.

Hotel and meeting room spending has a straightforward cost benefit.

Spending on the CCFC side of things might not (I know an interim deal was done on the rent and the eviction notice served but what the legal situation was is to me unclear. “We’ve got the property so you are out” doesn’t usually fly in business) so maybe there is a wait and see going on by Frasers before shelling on the CCFC side.

I didn't think CCFC was a leaseholder

We didn’t have a lease we had a licence

 

[edgy]

A refresh of the exterior cladding would be nice. Looking very tired generally, with various shadows of old badges and previous parasites, sorry tenants.

Surely a good pressure wash would sort it out?

what are you on about???

 

[Johnnythespider]

If they want people to spend more time and money at the stadium they should definitely sort the concourse out, it's like drinking in a cold and uninviting warehouse.

 

[edgy]

Faded plastic unfortunately. Need recladding or painting I'd imagine.

 

[The Philosopher]

Why would they spend money on a bit of their property when it’s not certain that the main current tenants will be there. Fairly straightforward.

 

[robbiethemole]

Nah, Wasps had £5m to use as they wanted, nothing to do with the stadium upkeep (sarcasm) Keep up Nick ffs

Things will be so much easier to compromise on and move forward,without Maton and the other fuck-wits poking their noses in

The whole white framework and ceiling needs a pressure wash, fucking minging

And assuming our new owner doesn't follow on with the traditional no-compromise disposition, of course...

 

[Bad Boy]

I know it's not the responsibility of the stadiums owner but the surrounding area including the retail park is a complete shit tip, it's an absolute disgrace and a truly awful first impression of the city for any visitor.

Pretty sure he's in a different league to Fisher, Joy and Boddy when it comes to business deals

Keep paying CCC your council tax for that then

Don't live in Cov robbiethemole.

Haha, nor me mate

 

[Ashdown]

There’s a lot of rubbish strewn all over the City. I guess it’s a hangover from the bins strikes and strong winds but the whole place needs a good clean up. Maybe people could start to organise mass litter picking events to sort out their own neighbourhoods.

If wasps were still here CCC would chuck a cool £15m their way to ‘support’ the project with a payback in 2080(ish).

Makes me sad and mad every time I go home and see it though.

Or maybe the rubbish just falls out the sky when it rains!!!!!
Lazy filthy disrespecting SHITHEADS more like.

And then repainted. Chunks of paint were being blown clean off in the Watford game when the wind picked up, looks tatty.

 

[CovInEssex]

I feel like the entrance has been refreshed/revamped about 10 times now

Maybe the stadium needs some Head and Shoulders

 

[BrisbaneBronco]

Remember the first home game each season at HR. Everything was in pristine condition.
