Well someone needs to fork out for better pitch maintenance staff than is currently available.

The people that own the pitch and are contracted to do it.
Unfortunately they can't afford it and I doubt would agree to us doing it and withholding rent for it so it's going to go legal.

Yeah because it's that simple.

I guess if nobody tries then nobody's failed and both parties can appear to be in the right, all the while our season becomes more disrupted each week. Both sides need to actually talk to each other and realise they both look bad and are both losing out from this.

Who said it was? Just to make the effort.
Because it's not our stadium.
Of course it would. We'd still have to pay the rent. Wasps wouldn't agree to us fixing a pitch which they don't care about and taking it out if the rent.

Exactly. Just trying to shift the blame to the club is like trying to reorder the deckchairs on the titanic. Wasps are the stadium owners, they look after the pitch, they promised to relay a new pitch. Its entirely their fault. We are where we are.
I'm not sure where the cost if £100k comes from anyway, Wembley's pitch cost £250k to relay in 2010. With inflation that would cost £312k now.
Wembley's new £250,000 Desso pitch
WEMBLEY may have gone synthetic but the natural world, as well as the players, gave the new surface its blessing yesterday.

We already paid, or at least contributed, to the heat lamps. Where does it end?
If we're paying the cost of everything because Wasps have no money then that's a major contract renegotiation which I doubt would be quick as we'll want that cost offset elsewhere at the very least

Was just going to say the same, the Telegraph when reporting on the planned pitch improvements mentioned how much Swansea pay to have a pitch suitable for duel sports.Exactly.

Might be lucky to get 2 home games this side of the world cup.
Exactly. Some of the 'solutions ' people are suggesting here are so naive. As if Wasps would agree to any of this.
I don't know but has it occurred to you that it's Wasps fault not ours?

Because that way they can blame the club.

Im sick of this
This will result in a Relegation scrap
No way this doesnt have an affect on the players and staff.
The one time we have a good season, the one time that for thte first time in 20 years it looked like we weren't a fucking backwards club with actual prospects and targets, all the off field stuff not being an issue then BAM
Wasps are cunts i bang that drum everyday, but now Boddy finally admits we've known about this for 2 months after flat out denying it the other day really fucks me off.
I really think we will be playing elsewhere again, and if that happens them sorry il be asking for my hard earned £450 spent on me and the kids season ticket money back.
I'm not going through that shit again
Might sack this and twitter off for a few days now as its really getting me down.

Even if we could when would we relay? They told us in June when there were 2 concerts then the CWG no window to do it

I look forward to the wasps statement claiming the EFL and the turf specialists have an agenda against them
I'd go and do it myself if I could but it's not my stadium.

I'd still trade where we are now from where we were. It's all relative. If someone offered you this situation 5 years ago you'd snap their hand off. I get it's frustrating, especially as we have bought season tickets off the back of an amazing season. But ground sharing is always and always will be, shite

No it isn't, you agree with Wasps that given they can't invest in the pitch you will invest some of the rent in it, no court needs to be involved in basic commercial negotiation

Because the loss of rent isn't immediate but could be spread across the year or even two years

So why didn't they use the rent paid for it already?

Exactly they said “we’re not relaying the pitch” not “we’re not relaying the pitch and doing fuck all to the current one”

That entirely relies on wasps agreeing. They need cash flow, they aren't arsed about the pitch.
How much do you think a new pitch would cost. ChiefDaves most up to date figures for Swansea 2019/20 for a dual use pitch cost £500k. How much annual rent do we actually pay? £600k? £750k? Can wasps really afford in a monthly drop from £50k- 62.5k per month rent income to £8.3k- 21.1k per month when we take the cost of the pitch off it? They are the verge of going pop and in need of a handout.

I don't think they have that amount of time tbh
Why would they agree to that?

Which is working towards the conclusion that the people in charge of neither CCFC nor Wasps are fit for purpose

The thing is, Wasps will need a safe playable surface as well for when their season starts, think a lot of people are overlooking this fact when they say they couldn’t give a fuck about it.
The fact there’s been an independent agronomist inspecting the pitch and deeming it unsafe will have them a lot more worried than before.

We know from the other side how difficult it is to get any remedy when somebody breaks an agreement however.
