How will all this effect our season? (1 Viewer)

How much is the pitch issue going to effect us this year? Looks properly fucked, god knows how long it’ll take to fix it, and even when it is fixed will it be good enough then?

How many games are we going to have to play away to start the season?

And how will not playing home games impact our already tight financial predicament?

Had this in my head as a comfortable mid-table season, but could easily see us being sucked down the table given the instability.

How long will Robins put up with this pantomime? Frankly he deserves better.

We all do

The club, despite some on here suggesting we are financially unstable, should bite the bullet and throw money at the pitch and any compensation we may get.

I've seen Wembley pitch go from a cow patch to perfection in little over a week.

Ironically, an extra week of training with a few niggles may help us. We'll play the second string on Wednesday anyway.

It wont..this is what managers are paid for. We won league 1 in adversity. This is literally nothing in comparison.

The pitch will get repaired and wont be great, but we get on with it.

Aye, not having a pitch to play on for god knows how long is reason for celebration, what am I thinking!

chiefdave · Aug 6, 2022

How it impacts the season depends on how long this is going to take to sort. At the moment its one game postponed which as annoying as it is isn't really the end of the world in terms of the season overall. The cup game I would imagine will either switch grounds or be forfeit, again annoying but no the end of the world.

The problem is if someone comes in to look at the pitch and says, to pick a number at random, it needs 6 weeks work. That would be a major problem.

Well if there's one positive, it's galvanised the support. Not often in this saga that there's consensus about something but there seems to be on this occasion.

I recon we should make a netflix series. Far more entertaining that that shitty club up North

This can only make it more difficult for us to attract decent loan (or permanent) signings. If a player has multiple options this could be a real factor in their decision making.

You may be right. If the parent club has any concerns about their players well-being. looking on the bright side, they could play the away games!

If it’s just the one game it should be okay but we have two home fixtures in a week after next weekend so it needs to has sorted by then.

Ashdown · Aug 8, 2022

It has stopped a whole load of positive momentum for sure. The club was starting to build a real good image with a decent squad , two very popular new strips, security in the 10 year stadium deal, record ticket sales. There will now be a lot of deep seated suspicions and fears starting to surface again.
The key to minimising this damage is to get this sorted in a couple of weeks and be playing at home to Huddersfield on the 20th.

The whole pitch debacle is nothing more than incredibly frustrating and deflating in terms of the excitement we all had for our first home game.

Last year against v Forest the pitch was great and I thought it was actually pretty good throughout the season, so to see it in this state (through no fault of our own) is just very dissapointing.

But it will be made playable and when it does it will be the same for both teams and I don't want it to be an excuse for results though.
