Boddy comes out and said they knew in June that they weren’t getting a new pitch so why’s he only tryna do something about it now when it’s last minute

Also says I don’t want to talk about it in public while he’s literally talking about the situation publicly

Useless twat

He and Vaughan are like two owners of a local happy shopper corner store being given the jobs of running rival supermarkets for a week. Both are out their depth badly

I agree with this but I also think Wasps haven't got a pot to piss in and are having serious cash flow issues so pressure form us in June would likely have lead to the same situation we're in now.

They just can't afford to provide a pitch.

If they can't do it we should have done it and offset the investment against the rent

Silver lining we may finish the season with 11 straight home games lol

Downside is we'll have a week to play them in.

Should have put a new pitch down ready for commonwealth?

 

[Evo1883]

we will end up with a points deduction if it’s not resolved soon

Well as I've stated bolton players flat out refused to play 2 matches and they got 5 suspended points .. it will take more than 1 or 2 matches as the fixtures will be reversed I'm sure

That or playing at an alternative venue

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

How the fuck did the owners not look at the state of that pitch 2 weeks ago ? Not the day before. The cynic in me says they're actually enjoying this.

The Bolton situation was entirely different and there’s no remedial action from what we see that’s correcting it

What could they have done about it at that point? Nipped down to homebase?

We won't be deducted points , bolton was worse

The EFLs own inspectors said we can't play on it , we rent !!!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

In a season which already has spells of serious fixture congestion, and with a small squad, I think this is going to be very damaging.

I'll be surprised if Robins is here come the end of the season.

Yep. He's not holding much back in his press comments. This club just continues to shoot itself in the foot to the point there's hardly anything left to aim at

Is it our fault though?

What's going through peoples heads ffs

Neither of them have a clue, no doubt wasps will release a statement saying the complete opposite both a pair of fucking clowns

 

[David O'Day]

it doesn't matter what wasps did or said or when they should still be providing a playable surface

end of really

This whole fiasco is an absolute disgrace

That would have been a sensible way about it.

I think the ownership would rather use this as another way to increase the pressure on the landlords though.

Lets be honest, we all know talk of a new stadium is bollocks, they've always been interested in the arena. With Wasps heading towards serious trouble they are just trying to squeeze their foot in the door.

 

[covcity4life]

What are wasps doing to fix this other than sand sand and lots of sand?

League one tour has been cancelled due to leaves on the line, there will be a replacement bus service via league two.

It's staggering people are trying to turn this back on the club. We found out in June there would be no new pitch. What could we have done in the 3 weeks that would have given us? Barged into the stadium with a digger and demand they had over pitch control?

Have a think what you could do to fix your garden when you have no money to spend.

Probably that.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well we had no control over the booking of the pitch but once that was known it doesn't seem like we did a great deal about it.

 

[Dominic H]

Ferret ur a genius, why didn’t they think of that in the first place, if boddy really cared I’m sure he would’ve thought of that, shame he’s a fat liar that loves talking shite

 

[chiefdave]

Embarrassing and find Boddy's look over there nauseating. Why wasn't any action taken back in June even Wasps said they weren't going to invest in the pitch?

Realistically what action could the club have taken. What they were told was that a new pitch wasn't being laid as promised. It doesn't then follow automatically that Wasps are going to do fuck all to ensure the current pitch is fit for purpose. You can still have a reasonable exception that the most basic criteria of leasing a football stadium would be met.

 

[Nick]

The issue with ccfc paying for a new pitch is all the other stuff going on there.

We whack a pitch down then it gets hammered by rugby over a weekend?

Same with when wasps rent it out for other events?

 

[Evo1883]

Probably that.

Likewise I wouldn't pay to install a new kitchen if my landlord couldn't afford too ..

Because some people don't like boddy so it's his fault.

It's wasps issue to sort ... end of really , we pay them rent

 

[TomRad85]

Truly embarrassing stuff. Are Wasps not dead yet?

Why would we have? We'd have looked at 2014 and probably concluded it would be fine. The we learn at the last minute the CG would be played on last season's pitch. What could we have done, because people are all making the same point without suggesting what we could have changed at such short notice.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So sort the pitch ourselves and take it out of the rental package. Clearly Wasps didn't do anything because they're skint and if we're already committed to giving them money it's no extra expense

But how does that work?

We find out in June, we whack a pitch down, it then gets hammered by the rugby.

Do we then get a share and a say of the events there?

 

[chiefdave]

Said earlier in the week it was a bit concerning that nobody had mentioned what the plan actually was to fix it. Not asking much for an update from both clubs acknowledging the problem and giving a plan to resolve it.

I think a few posters here are secretly enjoying it so they can continue their anti Boddy narrative.

As stated already , we shouldn't put a penny into something we don't own , we pay good money for the privilege to play on a playable surface .. this is their hole , let them climb out of it
