You are realistically looking at 6 weeks for new grass to bed in properly, even with perfect conditions , going to have a whole season of a shit playing surface

not sure it’s a crazy concept to discuss. Let’s say the pitch needs totally relaying. We can’t play a home match for 6 weeks. Tend to not do so well away so we lag behind. Then we are playing catch up and the home games take on an added pressure. Regardless this big club doesn’t own it’s ground and can’t ensure a playable pitch for the first home game of the season. It’s a tad Micky Mouse

There's no way we'll be allowed to postpone 6 weeks worth of home games. We're getting into compromising the integrity of the competition territory with that scenario.

Seriously don’t understand how we’ve let it get to this. So so risky

 

[Liquid Gold]

Amazing some people are having a go at the club/directors/owners here.

This is clear as day Wasps’ fault and they should fucking pay for it.

Worth looking at what Wembley did. Little over 10 days to go from a pitch in far worse condition than ours to a carpet.

It's doable with effort, cash and equipment.

We need to throw money at it.

Even worse is the conspiracies. It wasn't Cov or even Wasps who called the game off, it was literally officials from the EFL.

Remember the panic over not receiving season tickets and something like this being unfathomable.

Wasps don’t have the money and they own the stadium.
We don’t have the money either and we don’t own the stadium.

Never going to happen-we’re stuck with a shit pitch.

Is it allowed to swap the fixture ?

You are, yes. So long as both clubs agree to it, the EFL agree to it (has to be a genuine good reason- this ticks that box) and as someone pointed out earlier, they can cover logistics and things like emergency services cover.

Are you surprised? Some people don't need an excuse.

I’ll be going to the game if they move it to Ashton Gate so every cloud.

Same. I reckon we'd take a good 700 or so even short notice.

And without a game tomorrow, the first team might actually get some kind of runout

We'd end up winning before drawing Villa or Newcastle at home in the League cup without a ground to play at!

You can bet your bottom dollar that Brizzle insist we pay for the policing.

regardless of how it has happened it is a concern not least because I how we like to play

its the frustration that we are in a situation where they can pull our pants down and shaft is at any given opportunity.

which is even worse. If the pitch is unplayable what choice do we have?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Every end has a start. This is the beginning of the end for Wasps.

Fucking bunch of shit cunts.

 

[fatso]

It's somewhat ironic that the CBS pitch now resembles what Ryton looked like last season. If we'd left Ryton as it was, we'd be ready to play at home now.

Fingers crossed. Felt sorry for their bond holders but fuck them and fuck their employees and fuck their supporters.

 

[Calista]

It just doesn’t add up to me. So CWG bollocks books up the stadium until 14th August, finishing games on the pitch as little as a few days before CCFCs first home fixture. We have a 10 year deal and must surely have rights based on that ?

Appears to me from the BBC article that the Commonwealth Games stuff was arranged while we were at St. Andrews, so we wouldn't have been consulted, and after our return we requested playing a home game within the CG tenancy?

let’s hope so when they are preventing us from playing games of football the line is beyond crossed

Be interesting to see what happens and where we end up playing if it’s played

Also think it gives MR a bit more to think about who he plays

 

[Johnnythespider]

Is this where the car park ends up packed, and the protest non existent?

"Everbody honk your horns now"

Shit the bed....
Has he'll frozen over.... what is going on!

Yep, even the worms have started turning:

See on one of the Wasps forums they're claimed Wasps didn't commit to doing anything to improve the pitch yet there's an article in the Telegraph from March this year with quotes from Vaughan

There’s two things we’re going to be doing, firstly we’re going to be investing heavily in the maintenance of the pitch.

It doesn’t matter how good your pitch is, you could be playing at Twickenham, but if you play at Twickenham every week, and you train on it, you’ve got no chance.

We’re going to be investing in doubling up our lights. We’re going to be doubling up on the amount of staff on there as well.

And after the first season of Coventry City being here and the Commonwealth Games, we’re going to be laying an entirely brand-new pitch again.

So we’re spending a lot of money to get the pitch right.

I wonder whether wasps hadn’t cottoned on to the fact that the football season would be starting earlier this year because of the foolish location and hence timing of the World Cup.

Interesting to note that the deal had been agreed ‘for years’, so in that we must’ve been fully aware of it happening prior to signing to the tenancy agreement. I’m sure the Club’s lawyers were prudent enough to insert remedy clauses and damage reimbursement, for such a disastrous event, prior to signing.

Boddy confirms that Wasps are fully responsible for the pitch so I’d hope that any costs/fines should be passed directly to their door as a formality.

It’s an absolute disaster, and an embarrassment for our reputation. We’ve been made to look a laughing stock. We will be playing catch up for weeks, and I just hope that we don’t end up missing a further 2 or 3 home games which could really derail our season before it begins.

I do not feel a jolt of sorrow for bondholders, caveat emptor as i 0
