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...

Bit odd as they had a grant to ensure it was a state of the art commonwealth venue, unless that was made up rubbish https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/62438302

You'd hope that the EFL would be sympathetic given it is something totally out of our control. If our landlords can't provide a playable pitch its not really something we can be blamed for

maybe now the people who keep insisting there is no issue will shut up and admit there is actually a problem must be hugely frustrating for our ground staff to say the least

There's a lot of versions and some of them are expensive. Look for the 30th Anniversary paperbacks, they're good quality and pretty cheap.

Love the original comics / graphic novels. The trailer looked great and the reviews are outstanding. Its always been referred to as unfilmable but this looks like its had serious money thrown at it and has the original writer, Gaiman, as producer and his track record is pretty good with TV and...
