Much of that was infrastructure and site decontamination. They also had things like an underground casino that added significantly to the cost, but which were externally funded anyway. It was built on the cheap - the materials pallete was bargain basement - the cheapest of cheap cladding and...

No social media output of any kind from the club, on any subject, in 24 hours now. That never happens. Clearly a deliberate black-out, so something is afoot.

I think with the right owners and with investment there is a lot that can be done with it. Let's be honest, it was built on the cheap and has been poorly maintained over the years. Not a single development has gone up around it in 17 years (which given its gateway location and proximity to J3...

If today's announcement is that they are about to start working on the pitch, but Saturday's game is off, that cannot possibly be spun as 'positive news', that's a fucking joke. In my head they've been working on it for nearly two weeks. They are only starting now? Wtf.

Gate receipts are what, around 50% of turnover? There will be income of course, but no idea on the schedule for tv and solidarity payments and the lack of ticket money must be causing chronic cash flow issues already.

Of course. I was merely answering the point about monies received to this point in the context of refunds that are being requested now, but those refunds are for match tickets anyway for games that will hopefully be played and for which the money would have have been received. Gonna be so...

Doesn't season ticket money get drawn down when games are played? Somebody on here explained how that works iirc. They would have received the match tickets sales money surely, and that's what they are refunding.

This is deeply worrying. I don't believe there is a club out there willing to ground share for any length of time, aside from Burton perhaps and the financial hit of that, and the prospect of ST ballots and all the toxicity if will generate, is frightening. As it stands we've got nowhere to...

Hoping the silence today is a positive. We simply must play on the current pitch - there is no other option. You can't order a new playing surface on Deliveroo the last time I checked. It is a process that will take weeks/months to plan and implement. The current pitch is what we have, so...

I'm aware of the Hamer suspension. Gyok may not be sellable from a football perspective, but I still think he is sold. The postponement of fixtures is going to cost us a small fortune. I'll be very surprised if he is not sold as the finances cannot look good. I do think we'll stay up though...

Nope.

We're in trouble. We'll be bottom by next Saturday. Games in hand or not, O'Hare is out, Hamer suspended, Gyok likely to be sold. Could be a long, hard season. Just got to rally behind them. Issue is we're dogshit defensively. If you offered me survial this season I'd take it. Nothing alarmist...

Why would we have? We'd have looked at 2014 and probably concluded it would be fine. The we learn at the last minute the CG would be played on last season's pitch. What could we have done, because people are all making the same point without suggesting what we could have changed at such short...

It's staggering people are trying to turn this back on the club. We found out in June there would be no new pitch. What could we have done in the 3 weeks that would have given us? Barged into the stadium with a digger and demand they had over pitch control?

What could they have done about it at that point? Nipped down to homebase?

I suspect Huddersfield will be reversed and we'll play them twice at their place. Another postponement is unthinkable.

This is true. We wee never real contenders. Makes all the 'glad we're out' comments all the more bizarre. Yeah, forget a cup run, forget winning football matches, forget the potential for big occasions later in the competition, let's focus on the mid table Championship finish we all know we're...

Unbelievable. Modern football fans summed up in one paragraph.

Seriously worried about Saturday. Senior players going into a game in 37 degree heat seriously under cooked. I can only assume there was a bcd friendly on Monday, because to leave them all out makes no sense. I'm a big Robins fan, but I thought that team selection was very disrespectful to...

Ha, that attendance is pure fiction. The main stand holds 2K and that's full. No way only 700 on terracing.
