SBSam,
Unless they have access to untreated water chlorinated water is no substitute for rain water, but obviously better than nothing.
There’s a lot of speculation going on. We’ve no idea if there are any SLAs around pitch quality, I imagine they’re fairly difficult to write. What if there’s a continuous downpour for 48 hours and the pitch is very wet but playable? Ten days of freezing weather and the pitch is bone hard but playable?
Even if there are SLAs, we don’t know what CCFC can claim. I’d be surprised if it’s anything more than out of pocket expenses and as the game will be replayed some of those costs will be recovered.
CCFC went in to this with their eyes open and I don’t believe Wasps’ commercial team are complete idiots. I think we should stop catastrophising every time CCFC think they’ve been hard done by.
