So another game cancelled. As for compensation claims against WASP? Well a little difficult as each game will be re-arranged so it's basically staus quo, certainly difficult to claim compo for that. Do we want to drive a wedge between WASP and CCFC again? I would hope not. We are back at the CBS, doing better than at anytime over the last decade and have a real opportunity to push on. We are for sale (so we are told) and any dispute would certainly put off potential buyers. I can not for the life of me think SISU want to drag up another war with WASP at this point.
So as long as the called off games are with EFL consent I'm not overly worried. The biggest concern is lack of match fitness for our players. Robins should maybe arrange a friendly or two if at all possible. The games will get played and when they do lets hope we are chomping at the bit to put points on the board.
boddy for me is as cupable as WASP tbh. He should of sounded the alarm much sooner when a new pitch was not emerging. And the other point is what is the responsability of the CWG organsers in all this? Are they not held to account for making the pitch playable again?

The Rotherham game was looking like a crowd of at least 23,000, maybe more. It will be nowhere near that when it is eventually played. That will have cost us quite a bit on its own.

I agree, but then again the same scenario will happen on 31st August don't you think?

No I don't. I think these events have drained a lot of optimism from the supporters. A mid week game against Preston will not be anywhere near 23,000, particularly if we don't get a result at Hull in between times.

With Wasps teetering on the abyss, this has to be the opportunity for CCFC to take over the Arena, either under SISU or an alternative owner with the funds to make it happen.
It's not a case of driving a wedge between us and them, it's purely business, and their business is failing.

No. SISU drove a wedge between the two prviously and where did that get us exactly? Oh Northampton and Birmingham. if you want to sell a business then you need a happy ship not one in turmoil. That is purely business. As for WASP failing. Nobody really knows do they?

Sisu tried and failed before, but do you honestly think they won't try again?

Do you honestly think that the rumours of SISU looking for new owners/partners isn't to secure investment to potentially take over the Arena?

Like a lot of city fans I honestly hope Wasps go under or fuck off permanently.
I have zero interest in any partnership or cooperation with them.

They won't be trying that again. they are not looking for partners, they are a hedge fund. They want out.

Your last paragraph I do agree with.

I don't see us getting a result against a team who have got match sharpness. It's like going back into pre-season for us but no-one else is in the same boat (although I thought the same of Millwall last year and they beat us).

Yeah this will set us back no doubt. A mid table finish would be a huge achievement with this side show

A mid table finish would've been a great achievement at the start of the season anyway, need to carry on solidifying ourselves as a championship team

With the amount of fuss that’s been (rightfully) kicked up, £20 tickets in the school holidays and it being the first home game in months

On top of 13,000 season tickets I’d be very disappointed if we’re not looking at a mid 20,000s gate against Preston
