CBS issues (9 Viewers)

[skybluejelly]

There’s no way wasps are going to relay the pitch in 6 weeks rugby school have just had a new sand based pitch laid and it might look great from a distance but close up it’s just as patchy as the cbs and that’s been growing for over 8 weeks with continuous watering , also it cost over £300000 although there was a lot more work involved with drainage etc

You’d think easy to confirm with efl?

More worrying is the fact no one seems to be out there working

 

[theferret]

It's a fixture reversal for Bristol City but not sure what happens after that.

 

[Nick]

You can't tell from that view anyway, it has to be closer up really.

Why isn't it being watered?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Apparently the rent has been paid up front until Autumn.

Not as I understood it

I'm guessing while it's bathed in sunshine they leave it be. They'll put the lights on it at night and water most of the day. Not sure what more they can do really.

Cannot believe in a couple of days we've gone from looking forward to a crowd of around 20,000+ at the CBS for the first home game of the season to potentially playing at St Andrews for a few weeks again. Madness

You can tell when the lights are on as it lights the ground up.

Yeah big orange glow as you drive past.

Based on that about 10% of that pitch is knackered . Surely fixable in a couple of weeks ?

 

[hill83]

Totally different circumstance this time if we play at St. Andrews for a bit again I’ll definitely be going.

 

[hill83]

Fuck playing at St Andrews again not going.

Looks better at least

 

[hill83]

Pretty sure I heard Boddy saying it looked ok from above but at ground level it doesn’t.

Look closely and it isn't great but it's still a better option than moving matches and postponements.

The EFL will push for it to be played on that pitch.

From a distance yes most of it looks playable. But up close is probably a different story. And the angle of the photo will hide some of the bare patches.

Soak the shit out of it for 18 hours a day, Heat lamps overnight, do the other Diggy shit they do to a pitch to level it out for the next 8 days and that's surely a goer for Wigan?

 

[Ashdown]

I’ve bought tickets to watch Coventry City play in the City of Coventry. Enough said !

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Sounds great. When can you start?

Give them a call and offer your expertise on pitch maintenance

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It’s ridiculous if we end up leaving again - just beyond farce

What’s your solution clever clogs

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Confirm what?

Whether we asked and were told no

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Not as I understood it

Why you laughing @SlowerThanPlatt

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Why you laughing @SlowerThanPlatt

Because what you’re being told never seems to match up with what’s being reported

 

[oldfiver]

Not as I understood it

DB has confirmed it has - quarter in advance

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Looks better at least

Zoom in and you can issues are mainly in around centre line and circle.

 

[clint van damme]

6 weeks at brum would be ok but I worry we wouldn't come back and wasps and sisu just fight for a few more years

It would not. It would be an embarrassing disaster. I doubt I'd attend personally.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Lol ok things change

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Thanks for the update sorry

 

[SkyblueDad]

Wouldn’t take long to patch it up properly

6 weeks at brum would be ok but I worry we wouldn't come back and wasps and sisu just fight for a few more years

Have Brum agreed then ?

just read Birmingham are also at home on August the 16th & 20th

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Still no announcement re wednesday - a bit of a joke now
