Wasps supporters seemed surprised at how badly the pitch cut up from game 1 of the 7s which cutest the pitch wasn’t actually in tip top condition.
Wasps supporters seemed surprised at how badly the pitch cut up from game 1 of the 7s which cutest the pitch wasn’t actually in tip top condition.The pitch was in tip top condition up until last weekend until those idiots were allowed to over use it over three days. That pitch needs a months extensive work doing to it… then re laying in November and December!
Was the pitch inspected on the 8th July prior to CWG being handed the keys to make sure it was in a good condition by the club and wasps ?If you’ve think they’ve done everything they could I disagree. If you think wasps are mostly to blame I agree
They can’t blame the weather. As you say, no hosepipe ban. Of course, water costs money so maybe they couldn’t afford to use the sprinklers.I’ve calmed down a bit now. I think wasps will blame the weather being so dry. Don’t fully understand as there’s no hosepipe ban. Am really confused, and seems deliberate, why no contact has been made before Friday. It may be we’ve tried. I’m now mostly disappointed for fellow fans who are out of pocket and a simple apology would have been nice

I’ve no idea but it’s likelyWas the pitch inspected on the 8th July prior to CWG being handed the keys to make sure it was in a good condition by the club and wasps ?
Right ok, fair dos. What a mess
There is a photo of the pitch a few days before the cwg games started and it looks maculate. Fast forward a few weeks to the shit show we have now
Th concert would have caused minimal damage….. 66 games of rugby however in none dry conditions would inevitably cause untold damage.
CCFC saying tickets for rearranged fixture will be valid isn’t good enough either. Many will not be able to make another date, so refunds must be offered. This doesn’t even begin to address the inconvenience and expenses incurred by others and the loss of business for local Coventry business’s.
That’s the strange thing. We knew and the EFL knew, did nobody think this was a distinct possibility ?! I’m no gardener but playing a stack of back to back rugby games over three days in the middle of summer doesn’t sound like ideal preparation a week before our first game

edit - From quick research I don’t think hosepipe bans apply to commercial premises.
Correct, the weather had absolutely no impact, which can be seen by the excellent condition of all the football league pitches throughout the country.They can’t blame the weather. As you say, no hosepipe ban. Of course, water costs money so maybe they couldn’t afford to use the sprinklers.

They can only have an expected timeline once they know how long it will take them to fixSo today off. But realistically how quickly can an unsafe pitch be transformed into a safe one? Are we going to have a month of cancelled home fixtures? The club and efl need to get a joint statement out asap informing fans of an expected timeline.

Futbology doing it’s best to cheer me up
Exactly,refunds must be paid out for those that can’t make the rearranged and an apology wouldn’t go amissTh concert would have caused minimal damage….. 66 games of rugby however in none dry conditions would inevitably cause untold damage.

Was it even safe then?Was the pitch inspected on the 8th July prior to CWG being handed the keys to make sure it was in a good condition by the club and wasps ?
And in any case for any postponement they wouldn't usually be offeredWe probably don’t have the finance to offer refunds
Just because it's green in colour doesn't mean it's in good condition. The failure to relay the pitch and holding those concerts on it were always going to cause problems.There is a photo of the pitch a few days before the cwg games started and it looks maculate.

Disgrace mateRight ok, fair dos. What a mess
They’ll be the normal refund policyExactly,refunds must be paid out for those that can’t make the rearranged and an apology wouldn’t go amiss
I was at the Higgs Friday and the pitches there were being watered.They can’t blame the weather. As you say, no hosepipe ban. Of course, water costs money so maybe they couldn’t afford to use the sprinklers.

Unfortunately its all we are gonna get while these wankers are around (both Sisu and Waps) with Sisu being the lesser of two evils. I can put aside my sisu hatred temporarily whilst the wanky wasps are still existing or in CoventryWoken up and I'm still fuming. I'm one of the lucky one's who's got family down here I can stay with too.
The whole situation is a shitshow, from Wasps not relaying the pitch etc as promised to the communication seemingly being so bad that the club didn't know just how bad it was. Why only now are we seeking urgent talks with them? Should have been on them all summer at least knowing the state they're in. What worries me is the fallout from this, I cba with another saga that rolls on all season or longer where we're contending with a shit pitch that affects our game, the hatred builds back up and SISU play stupid games to distress them.
Last season was great and we need to build on it, we deserve more than one good season in a blue moon without background politics fucking everything up.

SISU should take Wasps to court for the loss of income
Some battering is imminentI’m sure they will
