make the trust turn over those quids to help
Yeah, it has been said...
People are too busy trying to come up with random scenarios where CCFC pay 500k for a pitch just before it's rented out for concerts and CWG so it isn't wasps fault.
I think City should pay for the pitch.
It's not about clearing wasps of any blame, it's about getting our season going before it turns totally to shit and ends up costing us millions and possibly the manager.
There's plenty of time for pursuing wasps for the costs.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing though is it. A third party landlord wouldn’t put one parties needs above another so possibly more even handed. Wouldn’t have Wasps bonds round their necks. You don’t think it makes sense for CCFC to own this stadium so wouldn’t 3rd party ownership potentially be the best option.We'd only end up having another landlord anyway as we are unlikely to be buying it
no, the issue it seems is due to poor maintenance there is little to no root system meaning it will come up in clumps underfootanybody else think , that if you was inside the CBS now looking at the pitch, you would think it is playable, but not the carpet Robins wants,
With what money?
Who then owns the pitch?
What happens about the upcoming Rugby rental?
What happens if Wasps go into admin after CCFC have just forked out for the pitch?
It isn't as simple as CCFC just paying for it all and then trying to get it back after.
the idea the football club should pay for the pitch is absolute insanity.
anyone suggesting it give your head a wobble.
Check it againCheck the Board again for an update on that
It’s not simple at all ( or fair ) but say it’s actually only going to cost £50k then it will be worth it to save the season and all the lost revenue.With what money?

In a sense it is simple if we pay for the repair or replacement and it means we start to get money in assuming we won’t get any back. I don’t think ccfc have the funds and if sisu loaned the money I’m not sure they’d be happy to not get any back.With what money?

It will be more than that but nowhere near £500kIt’s not simple at all ( or fair ) but say it’s actually only going to cost £50k then it will be worth it to save the season and all the lost revenue.
It's always said close season is the dangerous time for a football club with cash flow, hence why good season ticket sales help immensely.Losses for the Rotherham and Bristol games must already be substantial

The right answer is to get it playable ASAP, which is exactly what the groundstaff are doing as we speak.We haven’t got time, money or resources on our side. Already by the end of this weekend we’ll be 3 games down on the rest of the league and it’s not even September. The question here is which is the lesser evil needed for us to get a playable surface in the quickest time. Already the 3 postponements and 1 cup game moved to another ground have cost us likely more than a new pitch.
Hard to see what the right answer is.

So what’s DR planning? Does it look like he’s planning to bail?Well he is managing Dereks risks thats for sure

Not at that point yet though I don’t thinkIf we’ve exhausted all other options, and our only choices are either a groundshare away from Cov, or paying for the pitch ourselves, why wouldn’t we take the cheaper option?

But where does that leave the lease? Golden share part 2 could be - Wasps holdings go bust but Wasps Ltd have the golden share.Naive to think it's not going to be a golden share part 2.
Shows it’s affecting the management and players
Get big Adi down there with a shovel, a pitchfork, some top dressing and seed and the pitch will be like Wembley this time next week
anybody else think , that if you was inside the CBS now looking at the pitch, you would think it is playable, but not the carpet Robins wants,
So it seems Mr Richardson has sold the shares to a chap who shares the same name as this fellow
