I guess we better hope that our away form is solid this season then.

Yeah talent was never really an issue. Perhaps that's the wrong phrase. Regardless, it was a pretty strange move from the club's part, especially if they were aware of his sheer lack of application that they would've signed him. Which really they probably did, or at the very least they had an...

I think what puts Kasntaneer on par in my eyes is that Badlan had apparently been monitoring him since his youth career prior to bringing him to the club. Regardless no due diligence was done on either, but for different reasons. Hilssner is certainly one of the strangest signings I can...

Maybe. But the tickets weren't ever likely to be sent prior to the agronomist making his assessment. You'd think an announcement will be made today as according to SBB he's already been.

Kastaneer as well. Was lauded by Badlan and it was indicated he should've been playing above L1 upon his signing.

He's not the worst. But comparative to how much it's cost the club in wages he's probably up there - certainly over the past decade or so anyway. That being said without his injury/Covid I think he probably would've been a fairly steady signing. It's more that he's been pretty unfortunate...

Looking at it objectively though, in what universe would Wasps, or anyone for that matter, have wanted to get into a commercial relationship with Joy at that point. It would've been a terrible move brand-wise given the negativity surrounding SISU and a disintegration of the relationship would've...

Left a tad early didn't he.

I think as well it depends on how big the divots are as in some areas of the pitch they looked huge. Rolling won't really get them out, they'll need replacing/filling in.

Exactly. Like his agent wouldn't have been keeping Burnley up to date anyway.

They also openly stated they'd re-lay the pitch....

I could be wrong but I'd imagine they're rented as I'm sure they cost 10s of thousands to purchase outright. Then there's the cost of operation and energy use on top of that which can't be cheap in the current climate. If that's the case then the onus will be on the club to sort/arrange and...

Indeed. I'd be astounded if further games aren't rearranged to be played away later on in the season. This isn't going to be an issue isolated to the first few home games.

Who's paying for that though? Seemingly Wasps have put the brakes on pitch maintenance in order to save on cost and will likely only do the bare minimum. There's now clearly zero chance of a pitch re-lay as well. November is also a pretty hideous time to do any real pitch improvements anyway...

Wasn't there supposed to be another scan over the coming days?

But this is the issue isn't it. What's the pitch going to look like come actual mid-January when both Wasps and CCFC have been playing on it week in week out. I can honestly see us being in the exact same position as we are in now as it quite obviously won't be maintained properly. It...

Granted it'll have to get categorically worse for it to get to that point, but I just can't see the club lying down and taking Wasps breaching their contract. Their recent comments certainly don't suggest that either. It'll be very interesting to see how Wasps react to any action the club take...

Aren't drop-in pitches just for cricket?

That's a problem for Vaughan surely?

Come winter the pitch will be in a terrible state if it's not maintained appropriately. The club shouldn't be expected to bear sole responsibility for its upkeep.
