And just like that, we become a laughing stock again

 

[Sick Boy]

Surely they’re in breach of contract

 

[cornoccfc]

Based on those close up shots... Never a chance it was on!

As someone who isn't an expert at lawns, can anyone tell me how quickly this type of damage can be repaired? I mean, are we talking day, weeks, months?

 

[Paul Anthony]

That’s a joke

First home game of the season and that's what we get. What an absolute disgrace that is.

 

[jordan210]

absolute shambles, wasps, ACL and cov council can go f them selfs

 

[Sick Boy]

And just like that, we become a laughing stock again

We have been ever since we started renting the ground built for us from a London rugby club.

“Last season the condition of the pitch was highlighted as a concern and we expected that this would be addressed by Wasps and the Arena, who are responsible for the pitch, over the Summer – sadly this has not been the case, and this is the result of that, plus the large amount of use at the Commonwealth Games last week.

“I am seeking urgent talks with Stephen Vaughan, the Chief Executive at Wasps, and the Arena over the condition of the pitch, and expect immediate and significant improvements to be made to make the pitch playable as soon as possible.”

First subject of those talks should be 'compensation'.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Looking at the pictures I would be surprised if there’s any football played on that for the foreseeable future

 

[aloisiwouldhavescored]

Ann absolute disgrace at this late stage. A lot of questions to be asked and answered.

 

[skybluepm2]

Disgrace. What a fucking shambles

 

[Grendel]

Dave’s not happy

“I am seeking urgent talks with Stephen Vaughan, the Chief Executive at Wasps, and the Arena over the condition of the pitch, and expect immediate and significant improvements to be made to make the pitch playable as soon as possible.”

That’s good Dave I’m sure you only knew it as like this yesterday

 

[shmmeee]

Fuck off Wasps. Just fuck all the way off. You had one fucking job. Absolute shower of cunts.

 

[Sick Boy]

Yeah that looks like it’s going to take weeks to get up to scratch.

 

[jordan210]

“Promised investment by the Arena into a new pitch has unfortunately not materialised over the Summer, which has been compounded by concerts on the pitch and then a huge amount of use at the Commonwealth Games last weekend.”

joke

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Embarrassing.

and disgraceful

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

So, where do we go from here.

If it’s unsafe to play on now, that must cast huge doubt on whether it can be fit for Wednesday.

Perhaps more importantly, what does this mean for the rest of the season. With a more concentrated than usual football programme into November, plus of course the rugby games, it seems difficult to believe that much can be done to radically improve the surface.

Add into that, that an extra fixture is the very last thing we’d want to try to squeeze in when the fixtures are already so compacted. A few more postponements and the whole season could become a nightmare.

Someone decided that it was a good idea to have the concert in June and then the rugby 7s. I think that person will be very lucky if he/she keeps their job.

Yeah, that's what worries me. No chance to re-lay that mess until next season I suspect.

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's a very pointed statement by the club

Bollocks, guess I'm finishing the electrics in my shed instead of drinking cold beer and watching the city. What a farce.

 

[theferret]

Joke. We deserve a points deduction.

 

[jim20]

I had a call from a friend who thinks the EFL will at least fine us for this, and possibly issue a points deduction. Anyone know what the actual rules might be around this?

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure we do

 

[fernandopartridge]

Next steps

Club pursues contractual damages
Wasps can't pay
Administration order?

[lord_garrincha]

Another sad chapter, regardless of where fault is placed. It just seems that any momentum on the pitch is always kicked in the balls off it.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Reckon this could turn into a very messy season. Would be happy with anything above the drop at the moment.

 

[procdoc]

Stay away from twitter. People clamouring for points deduction

 

[long way home]

I bet they turned down a chance to host women euros to take the games. What a shower of wankers whichever way. They need to go, nothing to do with the city anyway.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Absolutely gutted at this. Season has just started and its a complete momentum killer on the pitch. At a time when the ITK's are saying we're desperately short of money, this will also be a big blow to our immediate cash flow off the pitch however.

With it looking like a fantastic day tomorrow weatherwise and good advance sales we have lost out on a potential bumper crowd, which is unlikely to be replicated when we play them on a Tuesday night in Winter.

 

[Ashdown]

Absolute shit show, if game not rearranged for before end of September then need refund

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Definitely a possibility of both, are Wasps liable, surely as the owner of the stadium they are

 

[theferret]

Not sure we do

100%. Take some responsibility. Should have been a drop in pitch after concert. We shod have made it happen.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Futbology doing it’s best to cheer me up

It's not our job to do that
