A look at whether Walsall's pitch can cope with two teams and not be a detriment to the Saddlers

Will this pitch be able to host all of Walsall FC's and Coventry City's matches this season?

Less than two months before the League One season is due to start and with the pigeons eating the grass seed, the Bescot Stadium pitch looks a long way off being able to host all the matches of two professional teams, without having a detrimental effect on the Saddlers.

Won't need a pitch the way the manager will want to us play

 

[TheRoyalScam]

It doesn't look as if it could cope with one team, let alone two.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Has anyone noticed the gaffe?

Asks can the pitch host 80 games... There would only be 46 league games, and maybe 10 cup games between us.

Well least no hope pressley will have excuses ready "we lost cause to many bumps on pitch"......

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

Its outside the city, the pitch is AWFUL, the stadium is shit and looks like a bloody tile warehouse from the outside, why are we even considering it? I'd rather play at Butts Stadium. The pitch would be better

Their reserve team plays some matches on there though too.

Walsall IS NOT one of the 3 grounds, this was confirmed at the executive and corporate forum on Monday

 

[Ashdown1]

It would be obvious in reality that St Andrews would be the choice I imagine, to try and help shore up their own precarious financial position as well as satisfy SISU FC's spiteful needs ! I'd expect Joyless would look at her google map from the wolfs lair and consider Small Heath as 'In the Coventry area' !

No mention of that...

 

[Otis]

Just saying like ....

It's ok, it is unusual for reserve teams to be playing at the 1st team ground.

I imagine that whoever decides to go to the pig sty to watch sisu fc will be given a warm welcome from some of the knuckle dragging locals. Ita a recipe for disater for whoever goes, not that fisher or any of the sisu spivs will give a shit about the welfare of those scabs sorry fans.

Can you imagine it? Yeung/Pannu working with SISU. Why not ask Venkys to join in too?

@dannyswhite #sisu have agreed a 3 year ground share deal at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium. #Pusb #CCFC

I can't verify the validity of this but it just popped up on my twitter feed.

 

[lifelongcityfan]

TF stated it was in theWest Midlands

 

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

TF stated it was in theWest Midlands

It's 32.5 miles from Cov. But it is most definately not in W.Mids.

 

[lifelongcityfan]

i reckon its wba..cannot see it being bcfc due to policing ( villa at home the same day etc)

I hope ( of course) it will be the RICOH)

 

[Skybluerevolution (Pt2)]

ill go brum - I wont go warsaw or northampton. cobblers to that!!

 

[valiant15]

I cant see it being wba.They don't need the money(if sisu actually pay them) and im sure they wont want a load of 3rd division cloggers tearing up the grass. Any city fan with any self respect will boycott the out of town games anyway.They can play on mars as far as im concerned.

 

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

I hope ( of course) it will be the RICOH)

Finger's crossed.

I can't find any other claim about Sixfields on t'internet so I'll take the @dannyswhite as gossip at the moment. Anyway, none of this truely matters until we hear what Mr Appleton is going to say.

 

[italiahorse]

ill go brum - I wont go warsaw or northampton. cobblers to that!!

You'll go to Brum for 3 years and then back to a league 2 stadium !!!
Just what TF wants
Good luck.
I won't be at both venues ....... Ever

 

[ricohroar]

As someone already said it won't be villa or blues ground as they alternate fixtures already for policing.

 

[Flying Fokker]

ill go brum - I wont go warsaw or northampton. cobblers to that!!

You old bastion of the club.

 

[intercity]

who is dannyswhite?saying we going cobblers

 

[letsallsingtogether]

They can shove all of them up their rear passage Ricoh or nowhere if it is anywhere else In hope it will be brum because it will be a nightmare to police.....

I would'nt take this bloke word to seriously his made out his known stuff on few occassions before and been totally incorrect, before pressley got job he put on twitter that blackwell was given managers job and also another occassion he was proved totally wrong over something bit of a bullsh***er tbh.

Thanks for the info.

 

[BurbageSkyBlues]

One good thing to come from all of this, ........

The Ricoh is a much more desirable place than many thought previously.



Makes you appreciate what you have, really.

 

[Sky blue north east]

Thanks for the info.

No problem soon as seen the name thought his not a reliable source of info...
