Bit like a pincher movement
it's quite incredible that for all the years of tenancy agreements and F and B deals, leases, golden shares etc that its looks like it will be the state of the fucking pitch that rings it all crashing down.
They only had to turn on bbc one or look at twitter, we all knew the state of the pitch. There was a thread in here the first day the games were taking place. The inspected it the first chance they had, and have been in constant dialogue with the EFL about it. The EFL know its out of our hands, and even commissioned their own report by an independent specialist.No it isn’t there is blame there but not 100% we knew or should of when & what was due to played on that pitch, we knew our fixture list, someone at the club should have had the nous to find out what the pitch conditions were like. I think that is how the EFL will see it. Even at amateur level your home game has to be confirmed a week before or used to be.
I really don’t think soOf course he was under instruction. The owners saw this coming and told Boddy to sit on his hands.
Not questioned as all part of the game.The club aren’t blameless. If there was an agreement to relay a new pitch in the Summer, why has it got to this point?
Surely in the summer as the months passed by no one from the club questioned when it would be done?
He said today it won’t be without having the pitch being relaidThere is a simple question that needs answering and that can only come from Dave Boddy, & that’s when will our home pitch be ready, he should know now. At the least an estimate will do.
Laugh if you likeI really don’t think so
Another question: Where is our chairman ? He is an officer of the club the official top honcho and owes an explanation as much as anybody. This is a very serious situation.
Perhaps our local newspaper can dig him out.

Professional companies work by well defined contracts which specify requirements in detail along with responsibilities, timescales and penalties. They have reviews and monitor them.“It’s ridiculous. It’s a ridiculous situation. People are saying, ‘it’s not my fault,’ ‘it’s not my fault.’ We need a football pitch. It was part of the agreement to get back into Coventry. It was the stadium that was built for us and we can’t play there, so that’s the feeling of everybody.
“It’s an utter disgrace that we are this point in time because of the amount of work that goes on and continues to go on. You just need that little bit of assistance from someone, whoever it is, but they need to sort it out quickly, to say ‘right, there’s a new pitch going in there.’ I don’t know when that can be. I know there are pitches that they lay and play in a week after or even a few days afterwards, so that should be an option for us.

Then there’s this shower that whine about ‘it’s not my fault’, ‘need that little bit of assistance from someone’, ‘I don’t know when’.
They are a total embarrassment.
It makes no difference who the CEO is for league standing - then by the same standing you have to say Tim Fisher is the best chairman in the history of the club.
Is he?
Fuck me... could local radio sink any lower?!!

Ridiculous scapegoating Dave Boddy
The fault lies mainly with the CWG
They couldn't give a monkey's how they left the pitch
All they cared about was getting their event on
Hi boost, blocked!!!! Exactly, has to go now
Was it not the regular groundstaff for the CWG? Didn't watch any of the rugby and wouldn't recognise the ground staff anyway but it was definitely the regular Edgbaston crew there who ensured everything was ready for the games that followed once the CWG had finished.The fault lies mainly with the CWG
They couldn't give a monkey's how they left the pitch
Surely the pitch was poor before they even took it over though? Hence city telling them it needed to be relaidRidiculous scapegoating Dave Boddy

Isn’t he the one who was going on about the SISU masterclass?A new pitch and a pay rise for Boddy ffs, won’t anybody think of the team?
What difference would it make?So if Boddy went, and it took the club a month or several months to recruit a replacement, are we happy for Fisher to then step in and take over.
Careful what you wish for.
