You're on a football chat site . There is a dedicated wasps sub forum where you'd be better off . Being on what is essentially the footy forum clearly shows that you haven't got any friends. It's a bit sad.

it does amuse me the way you all seem to have the ability to see into people characters and lives and instantly know everything about them, that is when your not abusing each other

while Nicks constant fishing for a reaction can get a bit boring he's anything but pointless and makes so very valid points, strangely i find his post interesting, annoying and sometimes quite amusing all at the same time

Don’t be fooled by the usernames. There’s only four people on here m8. Most of the time we’re abusing ourselves

you carry on son using foul and abusive language is the sign of a week and feeble mind that doesn't have the capacity to formulate or engage in meaningful debate.

Perhaps you're right that I do have a weak and feeble mind and possibly suffer with other mental health problems also, however, when you are clearly trying to wind up others in a very passive aggressive and sly way eg. the pitch, then you're a c**t.

I have no desire to debate with a c**t (London Cuckoo fan), hence why I'm not debating, just hurling abuse your way.

A word of advice, perhaps don't use the avatar that you have on a Sky Blues forum and folks won't get there back up before even engaging with you?

Another delightful thread.

this site is the premium ccfc fan forum, but sometimes, the level it goes to with insults and arguing is embarrassing.

yep i certainly did, my dad was raised in Sudbury and as such supported Wasps along with his dad so it was natural for me to suit and now enjoy watching Wasps with 4 generations of our family.

Hate Wasps - but don't hate you. You're following your team, you got lucky with the current postcode. Moved from Cov nearly 40 years ago and consequently my son was born a yam yam, but came with me to HR and got the bug. His mates are Baggies and Villa fans but they don't slate him - he talks the lingo but follows his heart.

Think people should lay off peaches and cream. We all cant stand wasps, thats a given but the bloke puts himself out there to try and have reasoned debate on the situation. I cant recall a post where hes called anyone a c#nt etc so why hes getting it is beyond me? I hate wasps more than anything and blame them for the st andrews situation wholeheartedly ( sixfields was sisu) but lets tone it down a bit hey lads?

Going back to the pitch issue.

A suggested post came up on Facebook for me about lawns and winter. (how exciting)

Grass is dormant doing the winter times and uses nutrients in the roots. Growing does not naturally happen during this time. The best thing for the grass is light and a mix of nutrients to help recovery in the spring as-well as staying off the grass so you don't damage it.

Basically you need to be clever with heat lamps, lighting units and underground heating to trick the grass in to thinking its growing season. (Like most major stadiums would do)

If this isn't being done. I doubt the pitch is going to get any better. If anything it will get worse.

Yeah, I was at an event at St James' Park a couple of years ago this week. The pitch was covered in heat lamps. I don't even think Wasps have got any.

Step 1) be a c**t so people block you
Step 2) insult people who have blocked you
Step 3) be hailed as internet hero who no one can argue with
Step 4) masturbate furiously

Actually they don’t in 2017 they rented some for 2 months

A spokesperson for Wasps said: “Additional germination sheets and lamps have been employed to improve the condition of the pitch and will be in place for a period of approximately two months.

Fair enough you may be right, a friend sent me a photo earlier this year from his hotel room when he was staying there and the pitch was covered in them so just assume they rented as and when.

maybe they had some earlier on when the pitch was just laid. In theory they should have some by now. As they are quite important

They had the frames for them outside the stadium by singers corner, next to the ramp, but they never had lamps attached and the pitch never improved so I always assumed they had them but didn't use them.

They got Andy Turner down for a bit of PR when they hired some in I think to say "Look at how we are looking at the pitch".

Just doing what other clubs would do as standard.

Didn't someone lend them some lamps and they made a big deal out of it when its the minimum anyone else would be doing.
