Pitch Covers. (n/t) on 12:44 - Jan 17 by robbowood
and the amount of rent Hornets currently give to the stadium company will be a fraction of what it will cost to have a new pitch relaid
so there is no financial benefit to the stadium company, from the rent received, as has possibly been the case in previous seasons
if we do eventually buy the ground the football club must surely ensure that the rugby rent is more than it is now
I doubt it will happen and the rugby club will continue to play on a waterlooged pitch which wouldn't be fit for football with the resulting consequences
As I understand it assurances were given to the Hornets board and shareholders by the Football club board regarding the level of rent to be paid in the future. I think the term of 20 years was mentioned.
Although the Rugby League actually own the shares it is extremely unlikely that they would dispose of them without the consent of the Hornets board and shareholders.
