Hate to say it but doing quite well since people really started to talk about it

What chance is there if wasps getting into financial trouble / having to sell the Ricoh. I know they’re out of the pro 14.. will that have any effect at all?

Think so. I'm sure the rugby's governing body's rules state that if you are knocked out of the Pro 14 you have to forfeit your stadium and get the fook out of the city you are occupying.

Pretty sure I have quoted that word for word.

Would you say that to their faces? ;-) They're quite big lads!

V. Good Otis... any sensible answers though?

Pro 14!? Unless they’re moving to wales, Scotland, northern or Southern Ireland or now South Africa they won’t ever be playing in the pro 14.

Wouldn't put it past them.

You're right actually, it's the modern era Baseball Ground

True, results have been good but that looks a lot worse to me today than yesterday.

Wasps are out of Europe now at least, less games to be played on it and less income to be generated (though if we get a big home tie if we get through the next round of the cup it'll help)

had texts from 3 ulster fans at the game today commenting on the state of the pitch !

 

[larry_david]

When's the next wasps home game? We need that pitch repaired asap

 

[Sbarcher]

From us the pitch gets more churned from the warm-ups rather than normal play. Playing over the midfield means that L2 teams do not create problems either side of half way line!

04/02 then 18/02

 

[larry_david]

That's good then. Bit of time to try sort it somehow

"hi tech pitch"

lets pop to the pound shop and get some seeds

 

[matesx]

Gets a 9 day rest now.

Looks like it needs 9 weeks to me.

thing is both ccfc and wasps won

They did, at least 1 out of 2 of those outcomes was good.

1 is important, the other is irrelevant

George Best would still run rings around players on that!!

13,000 at Wasps today.

Did the Ulster fans sing 'Your ground's too big for you?'

I saw a bit on BT Sport. Are they counting season ticket holders even if they're not there as well?

Looking at the crowd on the tv they are counting ccfc season ticket holders as well.

Who would buy it ?
Pro 14 is the wrong competition by the way.

No ones counting, only us on here.

pretty sure the bond holders and accountants are counting

that said they still are way ahead of our (CCFC "this is a ccfc website") attendances

Err.... top division in rugby union vs 4th division of football. Yes we can.

They moved here intending to be the biggest rugby team in Europe, if not the world.

I guess with all the snow and rain since yesterdays match it won't help.
Being there today and looking at the pitch at the end I would say the integrity is still there due to the plastic inbuilt and its still fairly flat.
But the grass is going and the top is muddy but to no great depth and more of visual than anything..
Expected the scrums to push up ruts but it never happened.
Not sure what can be done for the colour other than pushing grass shoots in it somehow.
