NEWS: Pitch inspection to take place on Saturday ahead of Rotherham United game

Coventry City can confirm that there will be a pitch inspection at the Coventry Building Society Arena at 6pm on Saturday, ahead of our home game against Rotherham United.

Can’t see this going ahead on Sunday and Wednesday’s game could be in doubt too !!!

Won't be in a much better state for Tuesday will it?

 

[shmmeee]

How long to relay a pitch before it can be played on?

Either ACL or Commonwealth Games need to get their chequebooks out.

This is a really serious problem and has the potential to undermine our season

 

[Tommo1993]

Fucking prannies running about with studs about 1 metre long, dunking their balls in each other’s drinks

 

[lordy_87]

Expecting a statement from wasps if the game is cancelled.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Really not worth playing on if it's that bad..last thing we need is a gyokores turning his ankle on a pot hole.

 

[robbiethemole]

I can't see Wasps putting money up to pay for this shitshow, I heard they don't have a pot to piss in, or is that just a rumour?? fwiw, I hope the c*nts go bust

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Well at least we won't pick up any knocks before Millwall at this rate. Away tickets should be sold out for a while if you want to see a City game

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’ll take a few games rearranged if it worsens their financial woes.

Would think our game(s) not going ahead will actually put Wasps under more financial pressure. income for the Casino, bar, food & beverages, rent etc etc. Every cloud, but even then just ****ing ggggrrrrrrrrr

When a company was approached to sort the putch out this season they refused because of the financial issues around wasps.
we should sue the fck out of them for this and withold any rent until a new pitch is laid

 

[procdoc]

If we can’t fulfil the fixture do we get a fine?

 

[rexo87]

can we play away until its sorted? Far from ideal but would rather do that than play on that shite

 

[fernandopartridge]

I really hope another game of that dreadful toff's sport is never played on that pitch again.

 

[Telfer85]

Already having a packed schedule between now and the World Cup the last thing we need is rearranged games.
Its an absolute disgrace and surely damages will have to be paid if wasps cannot fulfil their obligations.

 

[robbiethemole]

Stephen Vaughan told CoventryLive in March 2021: “...after the first season of Coventry City being here and the Commonwealth Games, we’re going to be laying an entirely brand-new pitch again. So we’re spending a lot of money to get the pitch right.”



He added: “Will it always be perfect? No it won’t. Because we have a couple of tonne of beef scrummaging on it every other week, but it will be as good as it can be.


“We’re not setting a precedent here, it’s done at other clubs, the Ospreys, it’s done at London Irish and Brentford, as well as Bristol City and Bristol Bears, but it will be done as well as it can possibly be done.”

[procdoc]

The Times article seems like it was well timed if it was the club that leaked it

 

[fernandopartridge]

How desperate are Wasps / CCC that they had to have the rugby at a ground in Coventry under the banner of the 'Birmingham 2022' games. Should have told them to whistle and play it at St Andrews or Villa Park.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

This is an awful situation that we have found ourselves in. If the game is off then the game itself is the tip of the iceberg. So many fans inconvenienced, arrangements made and paid for, very poor from the games and we have been left high and dry. Surely contingency plans were thought of?

Villa turned it down as they didn’t want their pitch getting ruined ironically.

 

[pusbccfc]

Cov will come out all guns blazing with this. We are the ones putting money and effort into it, Wasps have hardly touched the pitch in the last 6 months.

don't hold ya breath waiting tho, hahahha

Another SISU court appearance????

 

[pusbccfc]

Another SISU court appearance????

Would be fools not to.

 

[procdoc]

Are Wasps in breach of contract if it’s off?

 

[clint van damme]

If the game is cancelled I'm going to head up the uni with a shovel on Sunday and start digging the footings for the new stadium.

 

[Robinshio]

lost revenue for saturday alone will be in the region of 150k due to reduced income when rearranged and sunk costs for sunday

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Fucking embarrassing stuff. Absolute laughing stock.

 

[Paul Anthony]

This was never going to end well. If we can't put our games on because of this malarkey, then that lot should be paying for it.

Presumably a drop in pitch only takes a minimal amount of time but that of course requires a pitch being ready to go. I'm imagining that's not an 'off the shelf' item.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

So apparently the new pitch was never laid…

 

[Evo1883]

The main concern isn't this match, it's how long it will take to get a playing surface that can be played on weekly again

 

[Robinshio]

So apparently the new pitch was never laid…

of course not - the scummy bastards wouldnt pay for that

 

[chiefdave]

So apparently the new pitch was never laid…

I'm shocked, are you saying Wasps made something up and the Telegraph reported it without question
