That must have caused the problems, as last time we played there, they had sprinklers out after the game, and a light gantry overnight. I know because I stayed at the hotel which is part of the ground.

I assume they are hopeful that the games will pay for a new pitch to be laid.

Quite.
That's the problem with 'renting' a ground. The landlords can f@ck you over for extra cash for themselves and there's nothing you can do.
Glad I've converted you. Hopefully it won't be too long before orhers see the light.

I see you still think its appropriate to tell others what their opinion is.......

You will of course note that County are not in the same position as Coventry, as our landlord has arranged for a million pound pitch, along with other expenditure, which will bring us more income.
Some f@ch over that, from a landlord who you have expected to screw us since day one, because thats what your legal training tells you.

Remind me who is your preferred owner, Oh, the Council who can't afford to run the things that they are obligated to run, nevermind things that they have no obligation to.
Never mind, you stick to your fantasy world of County are Fecked and only you can save them, every month as you have since 1989.

Believe me old chap, you ogged, Demetriou'd, stuck one in the back of your own net. Do yourself a favour, stop drawing attention to your error.

Can't cope with a forum can you? Can't discuss anything without returning to the playground.
At least we are no longer paying for you and another failure to slug it out, producing absolutely nothing of value.

We had a problem and it got resolved. Coventry now have that problem. Swansea apparently have never had that problem. Sound management and financial capability is required.
