Coventry Postponed Again

[Southshoresteve]

Pitch issues - ludicrous that they cannot find an alternate venue. How long can this be allowed to go on? No guarantees on when they will be able to host any games over the next few weeks. Feel really sorry for the Coventry fans and yet another shit storm

Got to be points deductions surely? You can't just keep postponing games

 

[Southshoresteve]

Normally I’d agree penguins but I think Wasps own the ground and haven’t bothered to do any maintenance etc?

Fair enough but it needs to come to a head, its a right mess.

Kick them out of the league. Cannot fulfil fixtures. Booted Bury out.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Still suspect this is game playing by their owners in the hope of increasing Wasps’ financial difficulties

I'll be surprised if they make it to the end of the season

It's not just Cov if imoacts. The league need to step in and offer the away clubs the opportunity to play the away fixture at home.

Not seen any pictures but can it be any worse what we were playing on a few seasons ago?

 

[CompleteControl]

If is bad now, what will it be like midwinter?

It looks awful. Missing grass in patches. Hasn't been maintained properly.

It's no where near as bad

Their game against Huddersfield on Saturday has been postponed.

Oh dear

Cov City want the Wasps owners to lay a new pitch asap otherwise this problem will continue. What a mess by the sounds of it, perhaps they need to switch back to Brum or play elsewhere!

The stadium was used for the Commonwealth Games Rugby 7's.

12 games in 2 days, or something like that; of course it's going to be a bit of a mess.

Coventry knew this was happening ages ago and didn't take any mitigating action.

I think a phone call to the FL, to say, one of the world's largest multi-sport events is cunning to the Midlands this summer; can we schedule our first six fixtures away from home please would have been sensible.

But it's football and football rarely does sensible.

 

[tangerinespud]

Think FL should be asking where the circa £5 million the owners of the ground received for hosting the Commonwealth Rugby went ?

 

[tangerinespud]

Not sure why Saturdays game against Huddersfield can’t be switched to Huddersfield ?
Leeds aren’t playing & Bradford are away.

Come 5pm Saturday Coventry will be 4 games behind everyone else !
