I just don't think the other side would have been receptive to anything other than us paying for a pitch and them getting full rent. They can't afford to miss any speck of income atm.

Not suggesting we should have got a new pitch and then stopped paying rent, but to have tried negotiating a deal to that effect.
Even you know what you are saying is nonsense, this is one argument I won't even give you time for
The EFL has a contract with us not wasps. If we’ve decided to let them be responsible for the playing surface contractually the ultimate responsibility is ours. We have to make sure it is playable
We should have dealt with the problem and not think it’s clever to play the victim and along with Vaughan indulge in a public slanging match rather than solving the problem
The idea we should of not signed players we been to pay for a pitch when the landlord should provide a playable surface be it new or just the old on that has been looked after is pure wow

You're right, we shouldn't have to-but look at what's happening now because nobody did anything. Do it ourselves, take the cost out of the rent and get the pitch in a fit state.
Had we done that before the CWG we wouldn't have had to call off the first 3 competitive home games.
A sad state of affairs for a Championship club...very amateurish.They and we have no money to do anything I’m afraid
We have to rely on their 2 groundsman , basic equipment and hope
Contractually wasps have to provide a playable surface and isnt. No other blame needs apportioningThe EFL has a contract with us not wasps. If we’ve decided to let them be responsible for the playing surface contractually the ultimate responsibility is ours. We have to make sure it is playable

As a club, our facilities/pitch are 3rd rate...at a push.
How are we supposed to compete, as a club, with such poor infrastructure, against a division mostly full of clubs with state of the art training centres, billiard table pitches and competent senior level staff ?
We could have relaid there out not signed say palmer - we have to answer to tbe EFL and not wasps it’s our problem
Absolute nonsense isn't it. It comes across as wasps apologist nonsense.The idea we should of not signed players we been to pay for a pitch when the landlord should provide a playable surface be it new or just the old on that has been looked after is pure wow

One of the worst suggestions on this forum in some time
We don't have access to the stadium and we can't unilaterally withhold rent.I agree, wasps don’t care about the pitch because they aren’t the ones that need to play on it currently, we should be the bigger party and relay the grass ourselves and just take the expense off our rent

If it means they miss out on rent then yes.Im sure wasps would let us into the stadium to relay the grass If we offeredthey gonna say no ?
Wasps aren’t going to pay a penny on repairs.
I just don't see how 'we can't afford to spend £100k on a pitch' turns into 'ok we'll lose out on £100k in rent and you do the pitch'Well they're missing income right now from not having events on. It was worth making the effort to negotiate with them and if they still refused then fair enough, we did all we could.

They literally can't afford to miss out on a penny.
Based on that I can’t see next Saturday’s game going ahead either.
It might upset some but pretty much reads the EFL are on our side.
Therefore it's them breaking the agreement.
it is but what in reality are we going to do about it?

Fuck off again boosh, you don’t really support the clubFerret ur a genius, why didn’t they think of that in the first place, if boddy really cared I’m sure he would’ve thought of that, shame he’s a fat liar that loves talking shite
As someone else said - the owners seem to be enjoying this
Indeed, and we're still miles behind most of our championship rivalsHaven't we just spent shit loads on new training pitches at Ryton?

I'm assuming in wasps next statement they won't try to be so clever
Dickheads
I assume the rental agreement also covers what slice Wasps get of matchday revenues over and above the base rent. Income to them is also being lost by the events not happening.
I'm not suggesting the negotiation would be a given. Just that it was worth trying as a way to get us a playable pitch.

Having read our statement, I would love for the club to release a copy of the independent report which would give an indication of when the pitch “may be” playable and the remedial works required.
