[Jackoskyblue]

I want to I'm trying to coax some mates into it purely so I can get there

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Free Parking too....


Shame there is absolutely no mention of this fixture/event on the ricoh website......

but remember folks....its all about "Business. Entertainment. Sport"....

Sadly CCFC to the Ricoh is like Tyrion to the Lannister family.

 

[Nick]

Gutted, working today.

Who are they playing? Anybody fancy posting updates?

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Playing Huddersfield.

CCFC are running a twitter feed commentary apparently....

 

[Jackoskyblue]

Bit annoying that they reveal on the day that it's free

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Tbf it's normally only a couple of quid anyway. I'll be tweeting updates.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'm not going up there to put money in Joy's pocket even if it's free #nopm

 

[sw88]

Damn work!

 

[Woodster]

Four trialists starting (assuming one is Stokes albeit) - can anybody going up see if they're familiar faces?

I'm up here now. It's off

 

[speedie87]

Are U joking as on my way?

 

[Ian1779]

No... I read it on Twitter too

 

[Nick]

Why is it off?

 

[The Lurker]

No buddy. Waterlogged pitch. Letdown. Had my 8 year old with me.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Waterlogged pitch. Called off.

 

[speedie87]

afternoon off work for no reason, is Pressley there might try and have a word with him outside

 

[covcity4life]

council and wasps have caused the game to be cancelled.

So the pitch was not waterlogged?

 

[covcity4life]

the pitch is in a state because of that shite sport rugby being played on it.

 

[pusbccfc]

Must be the Wasps wanting it off due to low priority?

There's never been a match called off due to a waterlogged pitch at the Ricoh.

its not like we've had exceptionally bad weather or extreme conditions and the Ricoh will have one of the top drainage systems. Very disappointing

 

[covcity4life]

allez wasps

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Shame that.

Let the 2 opposing sides theories of conspiracy begin.....

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

tbf for the state and longevity of the current pitch it was probably for the best anyway, just disappointing that they left it so late to call it off.

 

[Astute]

Shame that.

I blame Jimmy Hill. If he never got our club to be top flight we would never have looked for a new ground.

I am blaming whoever it was at the Singers factory who decided a works team would be a good idea

I blame CCC then. If they never let Singers build a factory in Coventry they wouldn't have started a football club for us.

It wasn't that bad. I'd imagine they called it off as they didn't want to wreck the pitch for either side just for the sake of an U21 fixture.

ccfc u21 mean more than wasps though.

 

[Joy Division]

I blame Karl Drais

 

[CJ_covblaze]

ccfc u21 mean more than wasps though.

To me, you and the vast majority of City fans yes. Maybe they are bothered that it may trash the pitch for the next fixture to be played there.

As this will be a CCFC game why even bring up Wasps?

 

[DaleM]

Ref said it was unplayable . Nothing like a good conspiracy though .
