Doesn’t matter they’ve got a 4g pitch I think so wouldn’t be able to play there

They will surely have to make a decision tomorrow assuming that the CBS is out of action. I suppose that they could hang on in the hope that ongoing work on the pitch gets it up to some sort of standard. This seems unlikely from what Boddy said. The options would appear to be; reverse the venue, give BC a bye, or play at a local venue, possibly BCD.

It will just be postponed and perhaps played the week the next round is played why would they give Bristol a bye.

Play at Nuneaton or Leamongton honour all tickets brought, limit the pay on the day (if needed).
We should not forfit the game it's ideal for our fringe players to stake their claim. Most teams are apathetic and it gives us a chance to progress to play a big team fill the CBS which would be great for turnover.

In my experience they hold enough to get to the ground but not a second longer.

They already are apparently.

You'd hope so. Not sure it's one to play the kids in now. Depends where we play though I guess. If somehow the CBS is deemed fit to play I'm not sure we'd want to risk first teamers.

Again the club do know it’s Monday don’t they? I’m sore like Matt Hancock they are working 24/7 on finding alternate venue but it’s getting tight again

Doesn’t sound good
The EFL continues discussions with Coventry City regarding the fulfilment of its upcoming League fixtures and has requested observations from the Club regarding the circumstances that led to the postponement of Sunday’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against Rotherham United.

Wouldn't be too concerned about that. The EFL have to sound 'serious' but I don't think there would be an appetite to penalise us in these circumstances, especially as they ought to be able to get the pitch in a playable (if crap) condition with a bit of elbow grease and sweat (anybody suspect I'm not a keen gardener?)

Have some faith Pete. Don’t you think this could be another SISU masterclass?

Tbh, going by EFL's history, plus them being shit scared of SISU, I can't see us being deducted points etc. Worst case a fine as long as games get played within next few weeks.

Wow what a joke. Really bad service. Lucky I live close. Also lucky someone posted it and I even saw it!

The EFL will ask what steps the club took to ensure it had a playable pitch and will not be impressed with the excuse that the CWG meant they didn't do anything until the week running up to the fixture.

I don’t think the first move was successful in any way, I think the second one was not just down to them and this one is a needsmust that no one can argue with. Pretty worried about the silence about an actual solution though

Surely the refund terms are the standard ones when buying any ticket, if they're trying to vary those terms that is unlawful

The problem they have is I'm assuming they won't have scanners at the ground so anyone with a print at home ticket could get a refund then just turn up with their printed ticket and get in.
I'm assuming having to go to the ticket office is a way to discourage that although not great for people who genuinely want a refund.
