I hate Wasps more than the average person probably, but I am starting to feel as if we have also let ourselves down with this a bit.

Maybe we didn't start it, maybe we weren't allowed in at one point, but it was as if certain posters on here identified that the pitch looked off through television pictures before they had any clue what was going on. Then to learn that for the last ten days no real work has been done on the pitch because of what is essentially bickering, top it off with the level of communication to the fans being shit and it has annoyed me a bit.

Yes, Wasps are the biggest pricks, unquestionably, but we really don't help ourselves sometimes either.

No social media output of any kind from the club, on any subject, in 24 hours now. That never happens. Clearly a deliberate black-out, so something is afoot.

In fairness to the club they probably expect it to be off & would like to communicate that ASAP but there's EFL protocol to follow, only their officials can declare a pitch as safe/unsafe.

I think there will be outstanding points from the independent report carried out by the EFL last week . Any potential solution being offered will have to ensure it covers these

Aye, of course, but it is a worry. We'll be further adrift at the weekend. Not nice playing catch up, not great for confidence and fixture congestion will hurt us further. Nowt we can do - we are not relegation material, we all know that, so just got to get our head down and hope we don't get too cut off.

Agreed, the excuse that we were waiting on our known to be virtually insolvent landlords to sort out a pitch we knew was in a state early in the summer just do not wash. It is gross incompetence or gross negligence on the part of Boddy.

I hate links to that awful website. Can you copy and paste the text? It’s like playing dungeons and dragons trying to fight off the adverts and pop ups to find a small clue within the text and finally decipher the full message, just to find you went up the wrong passage, found nothing and been surrounded by more goblin pop up and adverts. Oxygen thieves, the lot of them.

Andy Street, the Mayor for the West Midlands, has revealed that Coventry City and Wasps have reached an agreement until at least the end of the season amid their ongoing dispute over the CBS Arena pitch.


City's first two home matches of the 2022-23 Championship season, against Rotherham United and Wigan Athletic, have been postponed because the pitch has been deemed too unsafe. Their EFL Cup defeat to Bristol City was played at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium.


The CBS Arena played host to the Rugby 7s tournament as a part of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games this summer and as a result the pitch rapidly deteriorated. Sky Blues chief executive Dave Boddy had insisted the only way forward was for Wasps to fulfil their ‘promise’ of relaying a new pitch, and says the football club have even offered to help towards the cost.


Now, Mayor Street has confirmed that a solution has been reached by the two parties.


"As Mayor, I've always been willing to try to play my part in helping to step in and resolve disputes across our region," Street said, via a statement sent to CoventryLive .


"As long-term observers of this matter may be aware, I was recently asked to mediate between Coventry City and Wasps after the football club triggered the dispute resolution mechanism in their ten-year contract at the CBS Arena.




"A number of conversations have since taken place and I'm pleased to confirm that progress has been made. Coventry City and Wasps appear to have found a solution for this season, and I hope that Championship football can resume at the CBS as quickly as possible to build on the excellent season the club had last year."


The game against Huddersfield, due to take place this weekend, has been thrown into doubt although the relevant parties are in discussion about the possibility of the game being relocated to the John Smith's Stadium and City welcoming Town to the CBS Arena for the reverse fixture later in the season.



“We are trying to flip the game at Huddersfield but that’s not a foregone conclusion because there are obviously policing issues because there is another game on in South Yorkshire that day, so getting police resources and their own staff in to do it is an issue,” Boddy added.

Or this is the quickest / only available solution at the moment and will get us through to the end of the season when a proper pitch can be laid.

who knows what a turf and stitch pitch is then? I have a feeling I've heard stitching mentioned at Edgbaston when they were preparing for the CWG. They put some sort of mesh down and then grow the grass through it but that still requires time for grass to grow.
