Crap, but probably playable. People have coped with far, far worse for many years. But Robins wanted it carpet like so that his centre halves could roll it about to each other for 90 minutes.

Unsafe said the independent agronomist, so not playable.
Independent agronomist who wouldn’t want to be sued if someone rolled an ankle.

Indeed. I’ve just been looking up exactly what an agronomist did (I knew really because I’m a golfer) and anted to see if there is a H&S part of it. There doesn’t appear to be.

But TBF, Sam claims Wasps agreed to it.

Don’t see how conferences and concerts make much money if the last 17 years are anything to go buy and I’m sure this litigious tenant will be in the revenue for version 28 of the growth plan to try and stop the bond holders pressing the button

You don't see how they make much money?

It's been a long time since I worked in entertainment, but it used to be something along the lines of an act pays a fee for the venue, but takes the majority of the ticket moneys. Food and drink, parking, hotels etc go to the venue.

With a capacity of 40k you don't have to be brain of Britain to see the revenue stacking up pretty quickly.

40k people paying £50 a piece is £2M for the act, and the average spend on site doesn't have to be very much to be very valuable indeed.

Sports fans may drink more but none of the girl power brigade whine about how the Spice Girls really should own the stadium.

Why didn't they consult some players?

It was Steven Vaughan who said they had agreed to it - We have agreed that an independent agronomist selected by the EFL can come to the Arena and carry out their own inspection of the pitch- from Wasps official site.

So I am not merely making a claim, It was a fact.

Both accurate and relevant I'd say.

On reflection both statements are true, but the second one is also fatuous. The plaque on the stadium says that it provides a stadium for CCFC, not the Spice Girls.

Twitter thread about some of the corporate goings-on at Worcester, and the changing of hands of the various parcels of land:

Sounds very iffy. Not something of which Cecil Duckworth would have approved, I think.

They could form a new version made up of Litigation Spice, Whiny Spice, Entitled Spice, Bitter Spice and Delicate Spice. It’s everything for nothing that they want, that they really, really want.
