Are we responsible for providing a top notch surface? Surely if the football club want it improving they could contribute to that end?
I think that probably falls within Wasps' obligations as landlord. We do have responsibilities as the owner of the stadium, and CCFC would not be unreasonable to hold Wasps to account if the playing surface is not to an acceptable standard. Wasps can ill afford to lose the regular income that CCFC provide, however small.
Wasps themselves will be wanting a decent playing surface next month, and if it was in a poor state following the Commonwealth Games with 14 players at a time, and little physical contest at scrums, rucks and mauls, then it is unlikely to improve with 15 a side, 8 man scrums and driving mauls.
