I'm afraid this down to Wasps, they have a tenant and a responsibility to provide a decent playing surface. If I was CCFC i'd be extremely angry especially as promises were made to improve the playing surface.
For those blaming the football club, take off your Wasps specs for one moment and look at it from their point of view, I’m ashamed.
We’re promises made? Not saying they were or weren’t but only have CCFC statement to say it was, I’ve also heard the agreement for for a new surface to go down after this season, so no idea which is the truth.
I don’t get the unsafe comments, yes it’s poor and yes it was inspected by a senior match official but he probably had the CCFC guys in his ear the whole time so no surprise it has been called off. I still feel this has a strong element of point scoring at the moment.

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.
“It doesn’t matter how good your pitch is, you could be playing at Twickenham, but if you play at Twickenham every week, and you train on it, you’ve got no chance.
“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.”
So yes, promises were made. And not delivered.
