Stinks of bull

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?

That would be harsh, we can’t control what our landlord does

It’s a shambles all round. Not sure why the first couple of fixtures weren’t moved to be away. Three days of back to back rugby in the middle of summer, a week before kick off was probably never going to end well…not forgetting the concert

Stay away from twitter. People clamouring for points deduction

Hopefully the Coventry King & his loyal subjects are defending our (rather sandy) ground!

The "action plan" should have been a new pitch you useless idiots!

They cant afford one and no one wants to deal with them

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

It's a breach of contact from Wasps and expect the club to recover any costs associated with rearranging the fixture

The pitch needs relaying, we won't be playing Wednesday and may even struggle to play against Huddersfield in two weeks

The above happening shortly after the announcement of Wasps being in financial trouble. Interesting couple of weeks ahead

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

Sorry G, but maybe he did.

Do you know the protocols of the Commonwealth games and the strict security measures in place? It’s possible he hasn’t had entry to the stadium since well before the stadium was taken over for the games.

I did some work at the Manchester games snd you couldn’t get close to the stadium without verification.

 

[lord_garrincha]

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

To be fair, we shouldn't start playing until after the World Cup!

We’ve got Wigan a week Tuesday

Not an excuse is it? Your landlord can’t refuse to fix your heating cos he’s a bit hard up that month.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Suggestion for the club

If Wasps are skint....

We pay for the cost of the pitch repair, yet deduct it from any future rent payments that are due (not sure of the cost involved, but we ought to be able to sort it, especially if we benefit from paying them naff all in the meantime)

10 days ago I have never known being so excited & optimistic about the beginning of the season. Then we had the O’Hare injury, and now this shit show. I’m sure EFL will take action. We obviously have no influence at all in regards to The CBS, rumours of our grounds people not being allowed access this week etc. The council and Wasps hate Sisu & therefore us. They can ask for as many urgent meetings as they want, but if we want the pitch sorted we’ll need to pay for it I’m sure.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

10 days until the next home game…

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Sorry missed that, in which case we'll probably struggle to fulfil that as well!

I thought they may have employed him to water the pitch

Legends like Max would have done it for free... with his own saliva.

Don’t you mean 3 days??

3

 

[clint van damme]

What a farce!

 

[Ross1247]

Wasps with a quick statement

Why were the commonwealth games given exclusive rights to the pitch when they knew our first home game was scheduled for tomorrow's date??? Flown over from Ireland with my wife, this means at least 8 hours of shopping tomorrow now instead of a game the despair!!!

 

[lord_garrincha]

If Bristol City say go eff yourselves for having the tie reversed, what are the odds that we get thrown out of the cup.

In fact, SISU will probably hope that's the case... and claim in court home sell outs until our eventual win at Wembley.

 

[Esoterica]

If i take Wasps to court for my flight tickets, and it sends them under, will I get a statue?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Don’t you mean 3 days??

I’m just assuming that’s off anyway tbh.

 

[Johnnythespider]

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

If they'd dropped a new pitch in after the concert and 19 days later had 66 games of 7s in three days it would look exactly the same as it does now, if not worse

I think the whole thing stinks but I suspect this has more to it than just a cancelled game

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

13000 season ticket holders too, could we not hire St Andrews until the end of September with Wasps footing the bill.

They have to have exclusivity to all venues for an agreed period of time. Wasps would have signed this off long before our fixtures were known. Precisely why villa turned it down however I'm sure

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Explain?

 

[TomRad85]

The fact we continue to rely on these irrelevant cunts to play in a stadium built for our football club continues to be the absolute embarrassment it's always been.
Wish I could say this was surprising but its not really is it.

Of course they wont

 

[Tommo1993]

Think it only goes as far as being tenants to potless landlords.

Don't agree. A new pitch would have faired so much better.

Stop hiding behind 'wasps can't afford it'. We're in the professional football business. Make it happen.

Like what?

This would appear to be an important point. Seems like we tried to squeeze extra games in before the ground was to be made available - I doubt we have a leg to stand on. I bet there's some BSing going on here...

 

[Grendel]

Explain?

It will be interesting to see the next game in the cup and we opt to forfeit

 

[Liquid Gold]

Pile the pressure on and bust the cunts.

Get them out of Cov.

You'll at least get a flag
