They did. Leeds pitch was fucked and they needed a drop in but obviously these things are grown to order not just sat there waiting in case someone needs one. Spurs had one that was being grown as they thought they'd need a replacement but decided they didn't need it so sold it on to Leeds.

When people suggest we just pay for it where do they think the money is coming from. If we had a spare £500K lying around in the budget don't we think Robins would be wanting it to strengthen the squad? And if we did pay what happens when Wasps destroy it, do we just drop another £500K every...

How do we end up with these idiots. He's got to be the worst of the lot, always has been absolutely clueless and if you so much as ask him a polite question on twitter you get blocked.

No doubt Shugs will tell everyone it’s someone who has it in for Wasps 😂 At some point when everyone is saying the same thing and everything is pointing to their being problems it might be wise to consider there might actually be a problem

Exactly. There's potentially two parts to this, the first is sorting the pitch, the second is compensation. Given multiple independent people have now looked at the pitch and said it is dangerous then surely for Street, or whoever it ends up being, that's fairly straightforward. Wasps need to...

the rest of the article seems to be taken from Boddys interview on CWR and he didn’t mention Andy Street

Great article, absolutely spot on and not the first former employee recently to warn things aren't well at Wasps. This part is something Wasps supporters just don’t seem to be able to grasp.

Just another way of describing mediation I expect. Given that multiple people have now declared the pitch unplayable and potentially not playable going forward I'm not really sure how Wasps are going to argue there isn't a problem.

The Met seems to be an absolute mess, not really sure what the answer is but they seem to lurch from one crisis to the next. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/aug/13/sarah-everard-met-forced-to-halt-absurd-convictions-over-vigil?CMP=share_btn_tw

Had a look on the Wasps forums to see what their thoughts were. Delusional doesn't even begin to describe it. Some highlights include the EFL having a vendetta against Wasps, the independent agronomist not actually being independent, we should give not loan Wasps 500K for a new pitch, we are...

Spot on, this is the flaw when people say Buddy and the club should have known the 7s would do this much damage, similar events have been held elsewhere without any issue with future events taking place. The problem is that the pitch was already old and tired, Wasps then agreed to multiple...

Was it not the regular groundstaff for the CWG? Didn't watch any of the rugby and wouldn't recognise the ground staff anyway but it was definitely the regular Edgbaston crew there who ensured everything was ready for the games that followed once the CWG had finished.

Getting the early work in for their next move

Is this your first season supporting us, surely you know by now to never suggest it couldn't get any worse.

Mentioned drop in pitches before but my question is can you buy them at short notice? I'm guessing there's not a load of fully grown football pitches sat around somewhere just in case they're needed. I would guess they're grown to order.

Even if you think its 100% Boddy's fault is getting rid of him now going to help? It won't be a quick recruitment process for a position like that unless you want a Ken Dulieu situation. So if he goes we're looking at months before there's a replacement, which means Fisher takes over in the...

Don't think that's the key issue really. Sure it needed replacing, but its a big leap from Wasps saying there's not a gap in the events schedule to relay the pitch to Wasps not doing basic maintenance and it being dangerous to play on for an extended amount of time. Its on the record from Vaughan.

Should give Man Utd a ring and see if they want to swap Moore for De Gea

Everyone I've spoken to that knows more about rugby than me says 7s matches shouldn't impact the pitch the way a regular game goes. Even if you ignore there are less players it is apparently played in a different style. But the bigger issue is these tournaments have been played elsewhere with...

missed that, hopefully that part will make it to iplayer or whatever they call the radio thing but am I reading that right, we've tried giving financial help to get the pitch sorted and Wasps have refused. I know Wasps fans will want to frame this as SISU always wanting to drag everyone into...
