Looking at the ground staffs twitter feeds they had 19 days between the last concert and the CWG and they describe the pitch as not exactly in great condition, "prepare the old, tired surface for multiple events". Clearly it needs to be relaid as was promised by Wasps have booked so many events...

From what Boddy is saying there was no option to not play at home for the first few weeks, EFL putting their foot down. To be fair they have given a lot of leeway given its a league requirement to have primacy.

Can't see it being played at the CBS and not sure there will be agreement to re-arrange so a forfeit might be our only option. Unless the game is switched to Bristol but that seems short notice. Only other option would be playing BCD somewhere but not sure that would be agreed to by the powers...

Where has this come from, not seen it mentioned anywhere. Not sure Wasps would have pulled out of the CWG because we asked them to

See on one of the Wasps forums they're claimed Wasps didn't commit to doing anything to improve the pitch yet there's an article in the Telegraph from March this year with quotes from Vaughan

How it impacts the season depends on how long this is going to take to sort. At the moment its one game postponed which as annoying as it is isn't really the end of the world in terms of the season overall. The cup game I would imagine will either switch grounds or be forfeit, again annoying but...

Think the Commonwealth lease thing is a bit of a red herring. Their statement relates to derigging which is nothing to do with the pitch, its all the other crap, for example the stuff occupying the car park. Reads to me that all they've agreed to is suspending that process to allow matches to...

I don't really get why people think those at the top should be talking to each other on a virtually daily basis. Personally I'd take that as a sign something was wrong as things should pretty much run themselves. Same with the pitch, I'd find it a bit odd if someone from our side was chasing...

Fucked the cricket up, some pretty poor running.

Never knew we had so many turfing experts on here. Can one of you come and sort my lawn out

They should have but a suspect a decent percentage were sold to supporters who didn’t really know what they were getting into and fell for the richest and most successful club in the world stuff. Wouldn’t have crossed their minds they could get to this stage and have no way of getting their...

You can't seriously be suggesting there is zero racism in football?

Not sure the issue is how green it looks or if the ball rolls without bobbling. It will be if there's a risk of injury. I only caught a few minutes of the rugby flicking between channels but it was coming apart in chunks. If there's a risk of injury because they pitch isn't stable then there's...

Quite like that match day stuff. Are the shirts the same material as the kits though? That would be the only thing that would put me off

That's exactly what they're doing. The comments on the Facebook post saying they won't be doing it every game are disappointing to say the least.

From memory we handed over more money and employed additional staff on the promise the pitch would be improved but as our groundsman has been tweeting if they've totally destroyed the pitch there's not much he can do in a few days. Doesn't really matter what it looks like or 'we played on...

I'm shocked, are you saying Wasps made something up and the Telegraph reported it without question

Presumably a drop in pitch only takes a minimal amount of time but that of course requires a pitch being ready to go. I'm imagining that's not an 'off the shelf' item.

This is the worry, is this something that can be sorted before the cup game or even the Wigan game. If there's a fundamental problem and its a danger to players how long are we talking to get this resolved.

Don't blame him. How many times have we had public statements from Wasps that pitch problems will be a thing of the past and now we might not even be able to play the first game of the season. You'd laugh at this if it happened to Leamington or some other non-league team, disgrace it can happen...
