Are There Any Blue Skies For Coventry City, The Club Without A Home?
The dawn of a new season is meant to be a time of excitement, hope and belief. Instead, the blue skies that had emerged last…www.thesportsman.com
While I can agree getting them out of the city doesn’t stop them being our landlord, the very least we need or a new owner does is a share in the stadium as we have witnessed recently Wasps are a dangerous landlord.Shared ownership is not the option. Getting these pricks out of the city is the only thing to take the sting out of the Wasp!

Post on Wasp bondholders forum that the cost of the repair will be paid initially by CCFC and Wasps will have to repay the £180,000 or so by agreement.
Boils down to wasps hoping to get away with it because they haven’t got a pot to piss in.
And of course CCFC and Wasps would agree on every management decision if co-owners, meaning management of the stadium progressed smoothly and efficiently...While I can agree getting them out of the city doesn’t stop them being our landlord, the very least we need or a new owner does is a share in the stadium as we have witnessed recently Wasps are a dangerous landlord.
correctI'm assuming that's a quote from Vaughan in your post?
When did the club first raise the issue?
10 days ago is since the first game was called off. What’s the story here?
- The club had no idea of the state of the pitch and weren’t let in until just before the Rotherham game
or
- The club knew along with the rest of the world that the pitch was looking a mess and did nothing to warn fans or the EFL when getting no replies/assurances from Wasps
Because it’ll get jumped on I’ll say again that this is Wasps fault and they should be not just replacing the pitch out of their pocket but also paying significant (in the millions) compensation should we be able to peruse them for such.
But if we’re talking purely a performance review on Boddy over this there’s questions of how you don’t know there’s major issues with one of the main events of your corporate year until the day before?

to be fair we've been here before with Wasps and Vaughn so that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
What is it actually doing then?
Like laying a framework under the pitch which holds it all together and allows it all to grow.
Yes. The last tapestry I darned was exactly the same as that, Wingy.Looks like the grass has recovered a lot.
Would it be like darning a tapestry?
Yes it doesn't look good. However, we need to factor in the fact that the CWG lease with the insects only ended on 14th August. So access to the pitch and the ability to carry out remedial work may have been quite limited, or at least restricted, until the 15th August. This situation arose because the insects deal with the CWG was already in existance before our deal to return to the Arena was negotiated. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe we should have insisted on an arrangement to enable us monitor the state of the pitch through the summer. But that might have put our return in jeopardy.
Without knowing all the details about what took place, we are not really in a position to make a judgement about Boddy's performance, one way or the other.
Not just scientists, we have epidemiologists on herePrecisely.
I know we have a lot of expert groundsmen, project mangers and wedding-planners on here (not to mention master football tacticians, politicians and scientists), but the attempts to throw blame around are just speculation at best.

Not all 25 are at the CBS though.Just seen on the offie site work has started on repairs, they have a glorified mobile sewing machine that looks painfully slow putting the new fibres in.
What bothers me is we have 25 games to get in before the WC break and them fuckers have home games and Rugby League games on it, plus during the lay-off they will still be playing on it in rain and cold weather. Will it be de ja vue and be like a plowed field again when we resume and who will pay for more work?
The machine looks a bit of a beast
Shugs thinks hmrc are working for sisu or something.Meanwhile…

NEWS: Work underway on Arena pitch
Work began first thing this morning on the improvements to the pitch at the Coventry Building Society Arena.www.ccfc.co.uk
I see the ownership of the performance centre has changed hands to a non wasps company
So grateful and proud of Wasps. In tears here.
