Coventry OFF

Last updated : 06 August 2022 By Millersmad

Yeah, it's an absolute joke... 2nd game of the season and its postponed as the pitch is knackered!!

Having being used for the Rugby 7's games in the Commonwealth games recently.

A Statement on the Coventry City website says,

“We are extremely disappointed at this postponement due to the condition of the pitch.

“It has been deemed unplayable and unsafe by the inspecting official and, having seen it myself, I can understand this decision.

“Last season the condition of the pitch was highlighted as a concern and we expected that this would be addressed by Wasps and the Arena, who are responsible for the pitch, over the Summer – sadly this has not been the case, and this is the result of that, plus the large amount of use at the Commonwealth Games last week.

A new date for the game will be announced in due course.
