Then see how Wasps deal with their bigger issues

The popular vote says Walsall.Do you really believe that !! . Where too?
I see, mis understood what you said. I suppose even £35 million max or possibly less, woud that entice SISU? who knows eh.No, it’s not that at all. They need holders of 75% of the bonds value to agree to any proposal they put forward. Bondholders see the mortgage they hold as being worth £35 million and they will want as much if their money back as possible.
Do Walsall know ?
Well I haven't sent them the link myself, but you're welcome to.Do Walsall know ?
Well said.The Richardson fella will have protected his stuff best he can. I think he will only have put in what he can afford to lose. wasps rfc will survive. The arena company under whatever name will go and be up for grabs. CCC wil have to deal with whoever as they own the freehold and the lease ultimately. CCC will not want a white elephant they will want it off their hands if their wasps project fails. They also have a duty to the citizens of Coventry to do the best deal they can and not for themselves. I appreciate that CCFC have debts but wasps debts are way beyond what even premiership rugby can correct.
Yep I’m expecting it to be on. However, new turf if re laid in patches (if that’s what they have done?) takes around 2-3 weeks to knit so I expect a pitch in mid January condition!Our pitch will be made safe to play on hopefully by Tuesday it will have to be, might be patched & in crap condition but once deemed safe we will play on it.

Agree we are going to have to put up with it until the five week World Cup break then hopefully get it somewhere near right. We play our last home game November 12th until 17th December but of course there will be rugby games so problems there.Yep I’m expecting it to be on. However, new turf if re laid in patches (if that’s what they have done?) takes around 2-3 weeks to knit so I expect a pitch in mid January condition!
Granted it'll have to get categorically worse for it to get to that point, but I just can't see the club lying down and taking Wasps breaching their contract. Their recent comments certainly don't suggest that either.
It'll be very interesting to see how Wasps react to any action the club take. Neither side can obviously afford a move away and it would certainly be catastrophic for both parties but what's the outcome if the club take the legal route or withhold rent?

As slowpole mentioned that World Cup window is an opportunity to patch it up enough to get through the season.But this is the issue isn't it.
What's the pitch going to look like come actual mid-January when both Wasps and CCFC have been playing on it week in week out.
I can honestly see us being in the exact same position as we are in now as it quite obviously won't be maintained properly.
It highlights why it's so important to get the pitch right over the summer.

That said, wouldn’t surprise me with wasps financial position they have booked the international drag car racing on the pitch for that month!
I am fearful of the condition it might be in when we get to winter and think it may end up unplayable again, especially once the rugby starts. There's going to be no major work done on it for the foreseeable future and I can only see the relationship between CCFC and Wasps deteriorating massively over the issue, probably once again ending in litigation.But this is the issue isn't it.

I imagine it’ll be cosmetic repairs to see us through and then await the bun fight…. however, that is if wasps can survive the season?Who's paying for that though? Seemingly Wasps have put the brakes on pitch maintenance in order to save on cost and will likely only do the bare minimum. There's now clearly zero chance of a pitch re-lay as well.
November is also a pretty hideous time to do any real pitch improvements anyway given the weather.

Not really, because Wasps will be playing on it and the only way to get it prepared properly at that time of year would involve an expensive set up of heatlamps which neither us or Wasps can really afford at this moment in time.As slowpole mentioned that World Cup window is an opportunity to patch it up enough to get through the season.

We, ccfc will have to pay theres no one else. It’s the way it is unfortunately.Who's paying for that though? Seemingly Wasps have put the brakes on pitch maintenance in order to save on cost and will likely only do the bare minimum. There's now clearly zero chance of a pitch re-lay as well.

Yes. Big rigs on wheels that you move around the pitch to increase light and temperature and promote rootgrowth when it's cold and dark.There are heat lamps?

I did mean renting them, but again not going to be cheap and as you say running them would be ridiculously expensive.I could be wrong but I'd imagine they're rented as I'm sure they cost 10s of thousands to purchase outright. Then there's the cost of operation and energy use on top of that which can't be cheap in the current climate.
If that's the case then the onus will be on the club to sort/arrange and bear the cost.
We, ccfc will have to pay theres no one else. It’s the way it is unfortunately.
I know I've seen then being used in the past on the pitch but I've always assumed they were rented.Yeah that's what I'm saying, they have them.
After if the stadium isn’t suitable for use? Or weWe have a subtenancy that would stay in place. Bit like selling a rental property with a tenant, not vacant possession.
Ffs are you kidding?The rugby League world cup is being played on it during the football world cup so it won't even have time to recover then, we're going to be stuck with this pitch until the summer.
