Robins walks back into the changing room after viewing the pitch today

We heed some rain asap

If only someone could invent some kind of sprinkler system to water the pitch...

 

[chiefdave]

maybe now the people who keep insisting there is no issue will shut up and admit there is actually a problem

must be hugely frustrating for our ground staff to say the least

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Surely it's out of our control though. If the pitch is unfit through no fault of our own, then they can't make us forfeit the game.

Yeah I don’t really know. This is unprecedented

 

[chiefdave]

Games get called off for weather conditions etc. but would it not be a forfeit in this case if we can’t fulfil the fixture?

You'd hope that the EFL would be sympathetic given it is something totally out of our control. If our landlords can't provide a playable pitch its not really something we can be blamed for

How well do our fixtures alternate with Blues....?

No point, half their ground is closed.

They're at home tonight so Sunday could be possible maybe. But would their ground hold enough people now that have tickets?

 

[Robinshio]

issue is player safety - so its going to be off

 

[ms639]

what a fucking disgrace

 

[Liquid Gold]

Come on then.

A couple people need to put their hands up and admit they were wrong.

Unfortunately I think you're right

 

[Liquid Gold]

7’ns rugby is 7 minutes each way. It’s fit blokes running around like fookin ijets.
It will do no more damage than a couple of football matches.

No, half of their stadium is closed due to safety issues.

Wembley available?

Pic from today. Fucking disgrace.

Abomination!

 

[Sick Boy]

Disgrace.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Really hope it’s written straight out in the rebt agreement that this reduces our financial obligations.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

No one gives a fuck about the commonwealth games.

 

[lordy_87]

Absolutely pathetic this.

A pitch inspection before the opening game of a season, have you ever heard of such a f***ing thing

 

[Liquid Gold]

You lot are like a bunch of old women sometimes.
There are no scrums,no mauls and no rucks. The pitch will not cut up as much as it will playing football on it.
So take a chill pill and calm down.
Oh, games are over for today. Pitch looks fine.

Old women?

Fucking moron.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Reverse the fixture. Arranging away tickets would be difficult though

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

A disgrace! Wasps are culpable.

 

[no_loyalty]

No one gives a fuck about the commonwealth games.

Wasps obviously do.

 

[Robinshio]

also playing rotherham into the season on a tuesday night will take 5000 off the gate

NEWS: Pitch inspection to take place on Saturday ahead of Rotherham United game

Coventry City can confirm that there will be a pitch inspection at the Coventry Building Society Arena at 6pm on Saturday, ahead of our home game against Rotherham United.

This could be an article for a Sunday League game in Memorial Park

I will admit I got it wrong. But that pitch must have been in a sorry state before it even started.
Only the groundsman will know if it was ready. And he would have been told to keep quiet, Commonwealth games obviously took precedence.

 

[Major Tom]

Wasps obviously do.

Wonder what was paid for use of the CBS.. money should be reinvested to bring the pitch up to expected quality

 

[robbiethemole]

Can't believe they had a concert on it, and then all those fucking male and female buffaloes stampeding up and down and digging wallows in it.
Fuck Wasps, tell them to whistle for the rent for as long as it's unplayable

From the pictures I have seen, it looked perfect before the start of the Rugby 7’s.

Cheapskate cunts.

 

[robbiethemole]

I don't even think using a heavy roller will flatten it out, looks so badly damaged.

At the start, it was in perfect condition for football, not fucking egg chasing

Ive seen better park pitches.
that is discusting and I wouldnt be surprised if its not called off

Reduces? Should be cancelled completely and compensation paid. We’re literally not getting what we pay for.

This is the worry, is this something that can be sorted before the cup game or even the Wigan game. If there's a fundamental problem and its a danger to players how long are we talking to get this resolved.

Might be more difficult to repair as ground conditions are rock hard.
