Isn't that the pitch that is being ripped out and we are being moved to a different one?

I bet kev will go mental at sisu when there are diggers and cranes on there.

Yes, our academy pitch has been moved in preparation of wasps planning application. They now play on one of the 4 other pitches.

What should people be outraged about then?

The fact that one of the best pitches in cov is being dug up for wasps?

Still, people like beduff won't bother looking at what's going on before going off on one.

No that sisu don't pay liveable wages and aren't paying for the pitch to be dug up for wasps probably.

It's been abandoned because SISU failed to find 1 applicant for the vacant job that offered £15k per year?
And we moved pitch because of this clearly?

But you'll do your best to deflect that...

Are you being serious? It's being dug up for wasps to build on it isn't it?

Why would we maintain a pitch that's going to get ripped up?

What's the aim of the rant and outrage?

No it's being dug up. Monks is wrong.

No I'm not being serious.
But If you go on Facebook and see the outrage on the forums without people even reading why the pitch is in this state, you'll see the funny side

As soon as this is settled I'm here to laugh at whoever turns out to be wrong. And I expect a full retraction and apology also.

It just goes to show how people believe anything as long as it makes the club look bad.

Joking or not I hate this way of thinking. Working leads to better opportunities. Sat on your arse on benefits doesn't.

This is old and the average now is £17,000 but it's hardly out of kilter at £15k

I'd hazard a gues that it includes Fishface, Septic joy and Sisu out amongst many expletives and inane bilge.

“My insistence upon this, to which Wasps have absolutely complied, was to ensure that CSF honoured the assurance to CCFC to make any transition as seamless as possible.”

He added that Wasps would help pay to relocate the ‘match pitch’ used by the Academy to ensure that the club could continue to use the site until its existing agreement expired in June 2017.

He said: “To that end, agreement was reached whereby Wasps would contribute financially to the relocation of the existing CCFC Academy Match Pitch for the forthcoming season to ensure that there was continuity of provision to the conclusion of the existing use agreement in June 2017.”

They don't call him mad Kev for nothing.

In all seriousness though this fits in with the whole post truth era, people will see that and go mad at SISU not caring if it's correct or not because it fits in with their already established views.

People will be going mental, all angry and outraged.

It's embarrassing. Are other fans like this?
