I was about to say it was very optimistic of you to start a home match thread.......

Is any attempt actually being made to sort the pitch. Wasps are saying no new pitch but is any work being done to fix the existing one. Seen people say you can see the glow of the heat lamps when they're on at night and they haven't been on recently, surely they should be on as much as possible.

Boddy said they are trying to get this game flipped so I can only really see us playing that way

I'll update after the mid-week matches, but this is how I have got everyone at the moment.

Have you heard anything Pete, or is it just wishful thinking?
Really hope it's on somehow.

Feels every day nothing is done to the current pitch is another home game likely to be cancelled or rearranged. It's madness

Game can’t be flipped according to the latest news.

Next game we can hope for is Wigan. An absolute disaster for Robins, team and fans.

Fingers crossed something happens before then.
Sounded like Boddy had written the game off after Millwall

It may well be called off to give the pitch time, but with each game called off, (with the consent of EFL), the fixture pileup becomes an issue. One or two games are OK but any more will be problematic. So I'm half expecting the pitch to be playable for Huddersfield. But we don't have any updates, or any photo's of the current work being done on the pitch? We are in the dark.
When we do get to play at the CBS I suspect someone is going to get a spanking from us after all the frustrations.

The last season we had games in hand we won the league.
Now that's what I call optimism.
Slow start great finish.

Where are the local media, surely worth a reporter going down and asking for updates. A few clips of work being done would be nice.

I guess they will wait until a day before the game again, before making the decision. I would hope there are ground staff there 24/7 to try and get it playable.

Some very unsympathetic bell ends on their forum who all appear to be grass experts as well
