He and Vaughan are like two owners of a local happy shopper corner store being given the jobs of running rival supermarkets for a week. Both are out their depth badly

I agree with this but I also think Wasps haven't got a pot to piss in and are having serious cash flow issues so pressure form us in June would likely have lead to the same situation we're in now.

They just can't afford to provide a pitch.

If they can't do it we should have done it and offset the investment against the rent

Well as I've stated bolton players flat out refused to play 2 matches and they got 5 suspended points .. it will take more than 1 or 2 matches as the fixtures will be reversed I'm sure

How the fuck did the owners not look at the state of that pitch 2 weeks ago ? Not the day before. The cynic in me says they're actually enjoying this.

The Bolton situation was entirely different and there’s no remedial action from what we see that’s correcting it

In a season which already has spells of serious fixture congestion, and with a small squad, I think this is going to be very damaging.

I'll be surprised if Robins is here come the end of the season.

Yep. He's not holding much back in his press comments. This club just continues to shoot itself in the foot to the point there's hardly anything left to aim at

Neither of them have a clue, no doubt wasps will release a statement saying the complete opposite both a pair of fucking clowns

That would have been a sensible way about it.

I think the ownership would rather use this as another way to increase the pressure on the landlords though.

Lets be honest, we all know talk of a new stadium is bollocks, they've always been interested in the arena. With Wasps heading towards serious trouble they are just trying to squeeze their foot in the door.

It's staggering people are trying to turn this back on the club. We found out in June there would be no new pitch. What could we have done in the 3 weeks that would have given us? Barged into the stadium with a digger and demand they had over pitch control?

Have a think what you could do to fix your garden when you have no money to spend.

Probably that.

Well we had no control over the booking of the pitch but once that was known it doesn't seem like we did a great deal about it.

Ferret ur a genius, why didn’t they think of that in the first place, if boddy really cared I’m sure he would’ve thought of that, shame he’s a fat liar that loves talking shite

Embarrassing and find Boddy's look over there nauseating. Why wasn't any action taken back in June even Wasps said they weren't going to invest in the pitch?
Click to expand...
Realistically what action could the club have taken. What they were told was that a new pitch wasn't being laid as promised. It doesn't then follow automatically that Wasps are going to do fuck all to ensure the current pitch is fit for purpose. You can still have a reasonable exception that the most basic criteria of leasing a football stadium would be met.

The issue with ccfc paying for a new pitch is all the other stuff going on there.

We whack a pitch down then it gets hammered by rugby over a weekend?

Same with when wasps rent it out for other events?

Why would we have? We'd have looked at 2014 and probably concluded it would be fine. The we learn at the last minute the CG would be played on last season's pitch. What could we have done, because people are all making the same point without suggesting what we could have changed at such short notice.

So sort the pitch ourselves and take it out of the rental package. Clearly Wasps didn't do anything because they're skint and if we're already committed to giving them money it's no extra expense

But how does that work?

We find out in June, we whack a pitch down, it then gets hammered by the rugby.

Do we then get a share and a say of the events there?

Said earlier in the week it was a bit concerning that nobody had mentioned what the plan actually was to fix it. Not asking much for an update from both clubs acknowledging the problem and giving a plan to resolve it.

As stated already , we shouldn't put a penny into something we don't own , we pay good money for the privilege to play on a playable surface .. this is their hole , let them climb out of it
