I think the EFL primacy regulations also require the club to have the ability to cancel other events at the arena.

This is nice and vague, how many? Tomorrow is a home draw in the cup, not a league game. And if they knew it wouldn't be playable why did they not insist it couldn't be used. To me its pretty simple, if you hire a football stadium to stage a championship football match the absolutely minimum...

Do you really think that if the pitch wasn't safe to play on Sunday it was a good idea to, instead of putting a plan in place to stage the game elsewhere, just cross our fingers and hope it miraculously sorted itself by tomorrow? You'd have been the first one complaining about Boddy if there had...

Not sure relaying the pitch is the major issue here. There was a promised increased spend on pitch maintenance and we’ve had to cancel our first home game. Do we really think the ref inspecting the pitch cares if it’s a new pitch or not. The only thing of importance is it was deemed dangerous...

When Bobby Bridge is writing articles like this you know things are badly wrong https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/wasps-fans-claim-theyre-left-24712607

You can see the ref saying one for the push one for dissent. Are they now saying Flanagan's push shouldn't have been a yellow? I didn't know you could appeal yellows tbh.

But they said they'd stopped giving free tickets away like it was going out of fashion, surely not another lie

there's been no update from the local councillors for ages. the last one was that nothing could progress until Warwick council finalised the route for the new road and specifically exactly where the junction for the uni would be, which at the time had been delayed by covid but that was an age...

have they ever said how many members they have after they asked everyone to pay again?

Theoretically not much but there's some major caveats. You cover it with something like supatrak which is designed to allow the surface under it to breathe, use a cheaper alternative and you can have problems. The ideal is to remove the old pitch, prepare it for sowing, cover, have the concert...

What the fuck is this mess

Can't see how it wouldn't be. Its a pretty common requirement for tickets to need to be returned for a refund, bit pointless these days given a lot of venues can just cancel barcodes but is still often required. Given the time frame if they said people could post them in they wouldn't arrive...

I'm not sure anyone was expecting there to be a point at which the landlords didn't meet the most basic of requirements, ie a pitch that was safe to play a match on

The less we know about that the better

Can't imagine why they'd object to helping us out when our supporters say such nice things about them.

what's the reduced capacity at St Andrews, is there enough for all season ticket holders and the required away allocation?

Is that actually the rumour or has whoever that twitter account is seen talk of playing at St Andrews this week and come up with their own rumour.

If we're having to play the game somewhere else I hope Wasps are covering the costs and lost revenue. Hard enough to get people to the CBS for an early round cup game.
