Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Commonwealth 7s - Pitch

It will be down to an independent football referee to decide if it is unsafe for football. It looks, at a minimum, to be unsuitable for the style of football CCFC play so probably not unexpected for Robins to suggest it is unsafe. I think we will know the position by about 18:15.

Shugs - they let them come back for one reason, money. Directly from rental income and F&B, indirectly from the CBS stadium sponsorship.

What a helpful, fulsome response. Similar to the bonds communications.

I am fairly sure someone invented under soil heating some time ago. Some things would clearly be outwith the landlords control. This feels as if it was within Wasps ability to have prepared for.

It’s not like wasps didn’t know there were football matches to be played, either. For which they have a regular income.

Shugs - the state of the pitch is nothing to do with the dry weather. There are sprinklers. It is entirely to do with the 7s and possibly poor preparation of the playing surface beforehand. Wasps have a responsibility to their paying tenants and gave assurances about the quality of the playing surface, and appear to have failed to deliver. Wasps knew the history before inviting the football club back and no doubt have reaped some benefit from the naming rights being taken up by the Coventry Building Society.

Pitch inspection by senior referee on Saturday. Game could be called off, ? Compensation due?

I wonder what compensation will be due if the game is called off.
