No
Wasps go bust , sort out the pitch buy the stadium . Happy days , chips and gravy

If we don’t have a home pitch to play on at the venue we signed up to then quite simply yes.
I'd say two things are dependant on us staying, a new pitch somehow gets installed along with a tempory swap until its in.
But I fear it could very well be up sticks for maximum pressure on Wasps as they teeter.

I'd take it if it meant Wasps leaving, but with 13k ST holders who could take us? Stans not safe yet.
Not all the 13k season ticket holders would bother going to Stans though.
Only way it’d be acceptable for it to happen is if it’s the only alternative to a points deduction
I doubt we could arrange it in anything like acceptable time. For a start any ground we choose, there is bound to be some fixture conflicts.
If it happens, Robins leaves the club! Trust me.
Could have rotating neutral venues big enough for 13k season ticket holders
Villa
Hawthorns
Lesta
Give everyone a good laugh
Might as well just change the name of the club to Coventry Wanderers
What it needs is an actual plan for how its going to be fixed and timescales. A whole new pitch can be done in a few weeks so the EFL should be sitting down with us and Wasps and asking what is being done and when they can guarantee the pitch will be ready.
A whole new pitch can be laid in less than 8 weeks, not sure how much you can cut that down but the close season only gives you that long so that would be a maximum requirement. The EFL should be saying, well actually should already have said, if you can't fix it rip it up and start again. Think most of us have doubts about Huddersfield taking place already.
Far from ideal but I'd take the Huddersfield, PNE and West Brom games being switch to their grounds to ensure we get this problem sorted for the rest of the season.
If the club are trying to put pressure on Wasps that would also be to their advantage, if the EFL advise that course of action and Wasps turn round and refuse or say they can't afford it any remaining sympathy held for them locally, and there's not much, will evaporate overnight.

What you prefer, we move to another ground? Or we wait until a couple of days before each game and get told its dangerous again? If Wasps can put forward a plan that will realistically resolve the issue in less time then brilliant but I'm not on board with a 'hope for the best' plan.
Please don't give the Sun'lun forum more ammunition. Some are supportive of our problems but a vocal few are loving our present position.
St Andrews, looking extremely likely for the rest of the season.

If we do leave there’s 3 refunds being asked for. Regardless of the circumstances I’m not travelling anywhere else for home games.
Leaving for another ground has to be the last resort option, surely. What's needed first and foremost is clear information and discussion, and it needs to happen quickly. We need a definitive plan of action that tells us, with no BS, where we're at, what can be done, when, and how long it's likely to take. Preferably with signatories from both sides, and, if necessary, the EFL as a witness. If the answers to those points aren't satisfactory, then I'm sure other options (reversing fixtures if at all possible) would be considered above moving.
I’m staggered this hasn’t happened. The plan seems to be fingers crossed and hope for the best.
I'd take moving to Stans for another season if its guaranteed to be the final nail in Wasps coffin.
I'd imagine we'd initiate a legal challenge which should finish them off, even if they can't pay any compensation.
From Sisu's point of view it may well be worth it in the long run, as the stadium ownership would again be "up for debate"
But I think we'd be forced to sell a couple of our key players.
Where's the income coming from if those games get called off one by one as there's no real plan from Wasps to resolve the pitch issues? Is your preference to move elsewhere?
The Inevitable players sale, which would have to be started before the close of this window.
In all honesty, I don’t give a fuck, it just needs sorting. Can’t be arsed waffling on here about it for weeks.
Every time it’s the same - “Surely THIS is the final straw for Wasps/the council”. And yet it never is.
As fans we need a new strategy, heaven help us if the club is still clinging on to this strategy too.
