**ALL USERS READ THIS, ACTION REQUIRED ASAP** - Sky Blues Talk forum statement (30 Viewers)

Again that’s not in our remit is it? If it was removed and some other reason was found and this wasn’t legitimate then all would know which organisation was stopping us playing at the Ricoh. Think the pitch may be an issue but again what can we do about that?

As much as the pitch is shit, it’s not a reason to stay away from Coventry - that will be down to rebuilding relationships.

Completely agree

Bristol City and Swansea play on Rugby club pitches and dont have an issue playing on them
it is obviously a problem that can be resolved
Perhaps Mark Robins first transfer deal when we return could be the Bristol City groundsman

I was at Ashton Gate for the rugby at the beginning of December, the pitch is immaculate. It was pissing it down that day too and it didn't cut up at all.

It's definitely possible to have a decent surface but Wasps won't pay the money for it.

I don’t understand why the indemnity clause isn’t being mentioned. Do they think people are thick?

Yes

 

[hill83]

Yes

 

[Nick]

Strange, he's contradicting himself already.

"Why won't you question Wasps?"
"We want to engage and not speak out about any side!"
"Why won't you support CCFC?"
"We do but we speak out about SISU"

They have drafted a PR expert in, who's he doing for PR for? He genuinely doesn't know how to communicate without contradicting himself.

 

[Monners]

We didn’t call out all parties. The council got away with it a little

Well true, but it's about trying to establish a way forward. Good luck on the call Pete.

 

[shmmeee]

Have emailed mep’s to ask about this and if the complaint can be pushed under the carpet

They’re all gone aren’t they?

I swear I’d seen a load of “goodbye” tweets from MEPs.

I get the impression Wasps want us to pay for it to be sorted. Which is ridiculous IMO.

 

[Nick]

Jeez, that attempted spin is laughable.

Which is again something they should be called out IF that's the case.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Which is again something they should be called out IF that's the case.

Yep that’s right

 

[Monners]

Which is again something they should be called out IF that's the case.

They have no vested interest in having a playing surface that is fit for anything but rugby. They don't want us back and the council don't care.

That is laughably bad.

 

[PurpleBin]

"Its not my job, its voluntary" Christ. Splitting hairs because they're clearly on the back foot here.

 

[Nick]

Also, I thought Eastwood has stepped down. Isn't it Vaughan who is the CEO now? Why aren't they asking him?

 

[PurpleBin]

He's just said in hindsight they should have mentioned the indemnity. Also that they will improve communication from today and in future.

I've replied and basically said, to little too late.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wow phil just described the statement as incendiary

 

[Paul Anthony]

Seems this has got the Trust ruffled.

 

[PurpleBin]

Seems this has got the Trust ruffled.

I think they're in serious trouble.

 

[rhino1002]

CWR think our statement is an incendiary statement
Good luck with the explosion give them hell
you have a big mandate from here
of the 528 people looking at the thread 71% have voted with 99% in favour
substantial mandate by any poll standards

 

[Nick]

Pete on soon

 

[Nick]

Neil claiming he didn't mention the indemnity because nobody asked him about it.

Get him a shovel

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’d like to know which particular part is incendiary or are they just trying to drum up listeners?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Lol they sound like SISU now

 

[SBbucks]

Wow phil just described the statement as incendiary

Strange definition of "incendiary"!

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

Tuned into listen to Pete and instead now have dreams of Koh Phi Phi and the Beach. What a bizarre turn of events.

 

[Nick]

Interesting he says wasps were kicked us out

Gilbert is on

 

[GaryJones]

Go Pete - we are all behind you!

 

[rhino1002]

Phil Upton just said the magic words
CCFC kicked out of the Ricoh by Wasps

 

[Nick]

Gilbert is misleading

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Gilbert is misleading

What’s he saying

 

[Nick]

What’s he saying

Nobody has mentioned the indemnity because of NDA. Ccfc have mentioned it and wasps have confirmed it.

Phil Upton is stirring up the bit about the trust.

"Are you saying they aren't the voice of sky blue fans?"
