Again that’s not in our remit is it? If it was removed and some other reason was found and this wasn’t legitimate then all would know which organisation was stopping us playing at the Ricoh. Think the pitch may be an issue but again what can we do about that?

As much as the pitch is shit, it’s not a reason to stay away from Coventry - that will be down to rebuilding relationships.

Bristol City and Swansea play on Rugby club pitches and dont have an issue playing on them
it is obviously a problem that can be resolved
Perhaps Mark Robins first transfer deal when we return could be the Bristol City groundsman

I was at Ashton Gate for the rugby at the beginning of December, the pitch is immaculate. It was pissing it down that day too and it didn't cut up at all.

It's definitely possible to have a decent surface but Wasps won't pay the money for it.

I don’t understand why the indemnity clause isn’t being mentioned. Do they think people are thick?

Strange, he's contradicting himself already.

"Why won't you question Wasps?"
"We want to engage and not speak out about any side!"
"Why won't you support CCFC?"
"We do but we speak out about SISU"

They have drafted a PR expert in, who's he doing for PR for? He genuinely doesn't know how to communicate without contradicting himself.

Well true, but it's about trying to establish a way forward. Good luck on the call Pete.

I get the impression Wasps want us to pay for it to be sorted. Which is ridiculous IMO.

They have no vested interest in having a playing surface that is fit for anything but rugby. They don't want us back and the council don't care.

Also, I thought Eastwood has stepped down. Isn't it Vaughan who is the CEO now? Why aren't they asking him?

He's just said in hindsight they should have mentioned the indemnity. Also that they will improve communication from today and in future.

I've replied and basically said, to little too late.

Tuned into listen to Pete and instead now have dreams of Koh Phi Phi and the Beach. What a bizarre turn of events.

Nobody has mentioned the indemnity because of NDA. Ccfc have mentioned it and wasps have confirmed it.

Phil Upton is stirring up the bit about the trust.

"Are you saying they aren't the voice of sky blue fans?"
