“So there’s two things we’re going to be doing, firstly we’re going to be investing heavily in the maintenance of the pitch.”

“We’re going to be investing in doubling up our lights. We’re going to be doubling up on the amount of staff on there as well.”

“And after the first season of Coventry City being here and the Commonwealth Games, we’re going to be laying an entirely brand-new pitch again.”

Sounds like a commitment that hasn’t been delivered.

What commitment has not been delivered the period after the sevens was not due to finish until 14/08/22 therefore there would have been more time to repair pitch and had a level of regrowth.  But although not mentioned in any report this was cut short at the bequest of CCFC.  I cannot see how Wasps can be held culpable for CCFC's change of plans but then again if looking through sky blue coloured glasses Wasps are guilty of everything.

The commitment to provide a playing surface of a suitable standard, how that was achieved was up to Wasps. The CWG doesn’t alter that commitment. Also, the commitment to lay a new pitch before the start of this football season. Again, how that was to be achieved was up to Wasps. CCFC hasn’t changed plans, other than the first match at home was pushed to Sunday instead of Saturday.

Sorry maybe its because I have my Wasps glasses on but where does it actually say " the commitment to lay a new pitch before the start of this football season." it just says after CWG but no date! (slightly pedantic) the fixture dates for the football came out a long time after the deal was done for the CWG and they had contractual rights for the stadium upto 14/08/22 therefore the contract was adjusted to accomodate CCFC.  There are always going  to be problems having CCFC as tenants and sometimes the financial gain will seem to not be worth the hassle.  The money is of course the only benefit and extremely needed but I feel with some of the retoric coming from SBT some leadership within CCFC is needed or it could all end in tears yet again. 

cheeky bugger

Who is planning on going and are there any meet up places suggested.

Merry Christmas to one and all.  Wherever you are be safe and enjoy the best you can.
