Plague on all houses for me (8 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wasps, Sisu, CCFC, Commonwealth games organisers and EFL all deserve blame for this nonsense

We should have played games away till a week tomorrow

Can see a fine and a points deduction

Sorry I’m not having that. We are not to blame here at all.

Strange Dave couldn’t visit the ground until yesterday and now needs urgent talks

Doubt he could with the security in place at the stadium

Unless we were advised to play our first 2/3 games away as alluded to in their statement, but either ourselves and/or the FL refused. Who knows?

I'm sure he could if he wanted

Wasps are suggesting they were advised of this before - so i assume he went and looked before the exclusivity period started

I doubt the FL would refuse. Perhaps Dave had his phone switched off

"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."

One of the prerequisites for football league membership is having primacy. For me regardless of what was advised, ccfc is not to blame for this.

Playing at home is not just about the fans, etc, but is also important for cash flow.

seriously see the wood from the trees here - this is another game we are playing out

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We should have requested first two games away.

It probably is but your boner for Dave is beyond obsessive out of all the players in this particular game.

Half of me agrees that something is untoward here, but it's hardly only just dave fault, wasps are to blame on this one for me

 

[PVA]

Oh what a shock, it's all Dave Boddy's fault

 

[lord_garrincha]

With a 'good performance' by Robins in the delayed press conference... still not been released by the club like normal.

What a shock Mr Binary can’t see the wood from the trees

As you are the self appointed war correspondent I’m sure “only obeying orders” is a well worn phrase you are familiar with

Boddy is the same as Fisher, Waggott et al. He does what he’s told and he takes his money and he will always put the club second

Show me on the doll where Mr Boddy touched you

Tbf he has done a shocking job to date.

Wasps should pay any fine and bollocks to a points deduction for a postponement completely of someone else’s doing.

They havnt got any money though, are Sisu going to speed up their liquidation process

 

[SAJ]

If the Wasps statement is correct the the club and the EFL are also the blame. It begs the question why didn’t we apply for all of August’s matches to be played away from home and if we did why did the EFL turn it down.

Could anyone have foreseen this????? Thousands of people have made plans and the organisations have messed up

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Hopefully Wasps and council are worried, big repercussions coming

SBB already answered this in another thread. We’re so skint that we can’t afford not to play at home every other week.

I was told at the back end of last season that our first 2 games this season were away - either that was rubbish or something changed

Yes, people seem to forget the importance of cash flow, playing potentially 4 games away in one go at the beginning of the season would be a big strain. Its not as easy as say, "no problem we'll play away"

And as for we are deeply sorry to have to bring this news. What about deeply sorry for the holidays rearranged the hotels and travel booked??? Amateur hour

Heard the same and was surprised when I checked, that’s what I mean. Organisations have messed up and we can’t even apologise properly

I was amazed when the fixtures came out that we were at home this weekend

It depends Ian. Did we agree to the 7s being played here ? Also, did we consider or even request playing the first couple away from home ?

I just can’t see how nobody saw the massive risk to have a home game so close to a rugby tournament being played on the pitch. Even if the game had gone ahead, it might’ve been considered safe but it would still have been mess especially as we’re a footballing team

If we didn’t have any say in the 7s being played here and were told we couldn’t move fixtures, I’m with you. If Wasps haven’t delivered on promises or breached terms under our lease, that’s also a different matter and obviously not our fault

I just think it’s weird that nobody at the club saw this potentially coming

I can’t see how we’d have had any say in the 7’s thing. Wasps will have taken the money to loan out the stadium to the CG - we won’t have had a penny.

The could've/should’ve been factored into the deal between Wasps and Games organisers

You might well be right. Depends what our lease says and when this was all agreed.
