Well that’s clearly a match made in heaven
“In May we informed CCFC that we would not be relaying the pitch. No objection was raised to that course of action then or at any other time.
No I’m saying it’s entirely true what’s odd is you don’t see the same nonsense Vaughan spouts is exactly the same as fisher has done for years and years. It’s on public record fishers quotes regarding new stadiums for a decade and it’s no more truthful than his comment, actually less as at least he spent some money on sand. Fisher didn’t even go through a charade of buying any land.

Well, call me old fashioned but I just want what's best for the team. And I'd expect decent owners to be the same.How and why should they assist ? other than to remedy a WASPs failure and get a game on
Buying land requires the land owner agreeing to sell. I have been in many large property deals that change or fail at the last hurdle. That's not what you are saying though is it
I said they agreed to spend £100k on pitch. They haven't!
Im saying Sisu have not and never have had any intention of buying land. Their history is to mislead, delay, lie and obfuscate
This is hardly a discovery - a world is not flat moment - most supporters would agree. Why this causes you such angst I have no idea.
Well I’ve not seen that in print but I’m sure will be mentioned in the next ccfc reply on their website as it’s clear both sides have hazy recollections as to what has happened
Not sure relaying the pitch is the major issue here. There was a promised increased spend on pitch maintenance and we’ve had to cancel our first home game.
Do we really think the ref inspecting the pitch cares if it’s a new pitch or not. The only thing of importance is it was deemed dangerous to play on.
If Wasps can prove their statement to be true then we will be on the end of some serious repercussions from the EFL
Do you really think that if the pitch wasn't safe to play on Sunday it was a good idea to, instead of putting a plan in place to stage the game elsewhere, just cross our fingers and hope it miraculously sorted itself by tomorrow? You'd have been the first one complaining about Boddy if there had been a statement today saying the match might be off tomorrow because the pitch still isn't ready.I don’t think that’s the point behind their statement at all and it seems we didn’t even bother to get an inspection for tomorrow’s game. They are calling there own in for the next one - the last one seemed to say it wasn’t any good for league two which was a pretty strange remark
Just when we sold record season tickets, team looking promising and might be a playoff challenge mounting, BAM to good to be true strikes fuck sake.
This is nice and vague, how many? Tomorrow is a home draw in the cup, not a league game. And if they knew it wouldn't be playable why did they not insist it couldn't be used.We were advised that a number of games should be played away from home at the start of the football season
I cannot see Wasps paying any compensation based on what we know so farHow barmy is that?
They will not get the ST money until the game is played. The walk up money is going to be lost in the main
Not to mention the immediate £30k>£40k to play tomorrow in Burton
Well not really tbf as it's carefully selected form of words "we said we wouldn't be relaying the pitch [but we said instead we would...]"If Wasps can prove their statement to be true then we will be on the end of some serious repercussions from the EFL
Apologies if posted already
"Tomorrow’s Carabao Cup game was moved from the Arena without a further pitch inspection, which is the prerogative of the football club, but I hope they and the officials feel they are able to play next week’s home game here at the Arena"
This will be their defence if we try and bill them for the Burton Albion cost.
Wasps statement reads to me as deflection and ‘not my fault, Jack’.
Irrespective of informing CCFC of not relaying the pitch, we pay to *play* football at their stadium.
If I paid for a hotel room, the least I expect is a tidy clean bed. If it wasn’t then I wouldn’t stay there and would seek to be compensated. This to me is no different.
tbf if a load of Rugby players are rampaging through your hotel room, you have rather different stays away than I do...Wasps statement reads to me as deflection and ‘not my fault, Jack’.

No mention from Wasps on the unpaid food and catering money they owe us. Something I'm sure will come out in the open in the coming weeks...
That game was 2 weeks after the final of the Rugby 7s, final on the 27th of July and that game on the 10th of August.I don't think so. It's not unreasonable to think we could host a football games a week after 7s tournament finished. As @theferret pointed out yesterday Ibrox hosted 7s days before this game and the pitch looked fine. Clearly not relaid either.
Obviously Wasps did not take due care of the pitch. Don't see how that is CCFC's problem.

maybe, but just getting facts in order. That game wasn't days after the 7sRegardless of that, it you watch the final of the 7s at Ibrox the pitch was perfect. Rangers could have played on it the next day.
It seems to be Boddy saying that the EFL wouldnt allow us to switch fixtures around and hasn't explained why. I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't given the circumstances, so are we sure that Boddy actually asked the question? I'm not!I cannot see Wasps paying any compensation based on what we know so far
Just need the EFL to confirm their involvement in why we couldn’t play the games away from home now, to see if we get fined
It will be a interesting few weeks to the transfer window closing and it’s already started
