What do you mean?Christ, the turf isn't even stuck down at the Ricoh.
No mention of today's game though, just straight in to justify wasps.
The question asked was literally “why are Wasps here?” He answered that question. You’re trying too hard.
Fucking hell.
No way should we go back to that pitch. Question for those that want us at the Butts: wouldn’t that be even worse as I assume they have less money to spend on the pitch or is the Wasps pitch abnormally bad?
We need our own ground. We really do. Everything should be focused on that.
If he was he would have told them about Wasps rejecting ideas in London or mentioned that they were touted while the club was still here.
It isn't me trying too hard, I haven't opened up Photoshop to create lists to try and mislead people.
The Butts has an artificial pitch now so I guess that's out of the equation.
The Ricoh pitch has been shockingly bad for years.
But why? Can’t just be a string of shit grounds men. Was it built badly? Is it the evil Leicester shirt in the foundations? It’s clearly possible to have a decent pitch. If there’s something genuinely fundamentally wrong with it then frankly we need to write the Ricoh off as a football ground.

Maybe it just isn't looked after properly?
I remember about 3 pitches ago they said it would be fine for Football and Rugby if looked after properly, it was awful. Wasps got Andy Turner down there for a big PR scoop because they had drafted in some heat lamps as a one off to show how they were looking after it.
This year it was said the pitch was laid too late so it didn't have time to be done properly which now seems to show.
It had a very decent pitch for the first 4 or 5 years, I think initially CCFC looked after it and employed the groundsman. It declined a bit when Ledwidge left for Leicester and ACL started to look after it, but under Wasps it has got far worse.
I think Wasps desperately chasing any event they can to utilise the arena bowl has led to this, as Nick says they could have laid a pitch in the summer and had it properly bedded in by now. There is a definite risk of serious injury on that pitch.
Now you mention it you’re right. I remember we had a great groundsman.
Bell running? There's your photoshopI don't know which is best, David Bell running or the pitch.
I don't know which is best, David Bell running or the pitch.
One of the best songs ever as he came on as a sub after being out for an eternity..I don't know which is best, David Bell running or the pitch.

FP but me to it. Seems that when the lease was broken ACL took over responsibility for the pitch and our groundman moved over to work for them, shortly after he left and things went downhill from there.It had a very decent pitch for the first 4 or 5 years, I think initially CCFC looked after it and employed the groundsman.

Bournemouth away. 2 nil victory.One of the best songs ever as he came on as a sub after being out for an eternity..
"We thought you were dead,
We thought you were dead,
Oh David Bell, we thought you were dead!"
Away game, can't remember who against...
Although he played like he was dead most of the time!
I see the troll account are out in force calling fans who created "false" outrage at wasps and embarrassment
The pitch - Bell standing still or running made no difference.I don't know which is best, David Bell running or the pitch.
No official comment has been made but we understand that nothing has changed regarding the conditions for a return, and that an indemnity clause does exist and is seen as the stumbling block between the two parties.
Sisu signed an agreement last Spring not to pursue legal action against Wasps regarding the sale and lease of the stadium to pave the way for talks to go ahead to agree a new deal to stay at the Ricoh.
But Wasps are understood to have insisted they go a step further by agreeing to an indemnity clause which proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back and something the hedge fund owners refuse to sign.
