Robins will be tearing (what little) hair he has out, he’ll be very apprehensive to play on it but ultimately it’s not his decision
EFL will know Rotherham have the potential to open a massive can of worms if the game doesn’t go ahead
Same hereDo we get refund if game is postponed? I've bought two tickets for people who are down in cov visiting this weekend only
From memory we handed over more money and employed additional staff on the promise the pitch would be improved but as our groundsman has been tweeting if they've totally destroyed the pitch there's not much he can do in a few days.Didnt we agree to take joint ownership of the pitch with the rent deal.
I have read elsewhere that CCFC groundsmen are responsible for it, one of them has said you can only use the tools you are given.
Read into that as you please.
All cheap shit IMO.
Of course, but it sounds to me Robins doesn't want to play it. When the home manager declares in the press the pitch is not safe to play on, that will influence the referee for sure, Seems unlikely this goes ahead.
Came home from work tonight with a spring in my step, but weekend well and truly ruined.
make wasps play all their games thereThe world cup break might be a god send
It would be very interesting to know who’s been in touch with the EFL to express concern for the pitch, enough concern to warrant the EFL organising an independent ref to carry out a full pitch inspection.I reckon we can work out a way that this is all Dave Boddy’s fault.
Have they got another ref in? Have you got a link?It would be very interesting to know who’s been in touch with the EFL to express concern for the pitch, enough concern to warrant the EFL organising an independent ref to carry out a full pitch inspection.
Ref for the match wouldn’t usually show up until the morning of the match, at least that’s what I thought, so I was supposing he’d be independent as it’s taking place the day before,Have they got another ref in? Have you got a link?
Just seen it.
But the rugby experts said it's fine?
Massive shock in a nothing response from our exalted landlords

Yes mate, the email address is known on the system as it comes up automatically for me to select, I haven’t tried againBrylowes just clicked the forgotten password button and recieved an email straightaway have you used the correct email address?

Its very late in the day tho isn’t it.Coventry obviously. They have H&S concerns.
Hmmm atwell is localAlways a local ref of right grade for pitch inspection day before.
I would have assumed the contract would have been very specific on this. Surely we would have included something about the pitch has to meet EFL standards for a match to be deemed playable. Surely it is inconceivable that we wouldn't have something like this?I’d imagine anything there is would be too vague to really enforce and will just cause another bust up.
Shocking statement feom Wasps...
Exactly what I was thinking! I was considering the groundsman's comments about only being able to work with the tools they were given being part of the same drive. WASPS are the tools.Honestly, whilst the pitch does look like shit and I do agree that it is a disgrace, there is no way we haven't played on a worse one when it was the Ricoh.
I get the feeling this is a bit of a swipe at Wasps, which of course has merit. Throw in the timing of the Times article and you have a perfectly formed conspiracy theory. Unsettle the landlords, refuse to play on a shit pitch, go somewhere else for a while. Hope Wasps lean closer to fucking off or handing over some of the burdens of the stadium. Curious, curious...
Using the Government's line about 'working round the clock'. Well we found out that that was always a lieWoeful response from a gutless shit of a club.
I hope we sue them for breach of contract.
The pitch is barer than his head, what the fuck is he on about
