Still think we should spray a skull and crossbones on the grass as you enter the field.

Who says it took 24 hours maybe the inspection was today

I can hear the song now

Your all going to die
Your all going to die
Welcome to to the death pitch
Your all going die

Well let's hope this is the end of the matter, surely even deadly Derek won't try it on by the time we play Leigh.

Degsy likes booking a pre-game act. Maybe we could get Tom Jones to do a rendition of Green Green Grass of Home?

So can we claim back lost sky monies?

I’d at least be saying to sky that this game still counts as the first fixture and we receive a pay out for the next.

The pitch is again passed and the club haven’t done anything wrong. Why should it suffer?

Perhaps Trinity could use that music as the teams enter the field for kick off

That has to happen!

We'll probably make more from the gate receipts for supports now coming to ground.

Huddersfield agreed to play on it even though they weren’t happy with its condition. They were anxious to play the game having already missed one round of SL because Sts were in Australia.

Ian Watson didn’t make an issue of it after the game but that doesn’t mean there were no issues!
Every Giants player had some damage and injury which Huddersfield had anticipated that they would need more medical staff and a variety of treatments for burns, grazes and other skin issues, that included antibiotics & antiseptics

What loss of revenue?

Two needless pitch inspections, both passed with ease. The problem isn’t the pitch it’s the wonderful RL family.

Lets face it, it's all b*llocks and propaganda.
There is [inothing wrong [/iwith that pitch.
Have they all turned into wusses? What would they have thought of the Widnes pitch?
They'd have never played a home game on it FFS.
Clearly, HKR trying it on after Cats & Shudds tried to make an issue out of it and the fact they have a few players missing.....
You don't need Miss Marple or a slide rule to work it out FFS.
Its the same for both teams isnt it?
Or have we got magic powers?
Get on with the game!!!
The Death Pitch lives!!!


Long live the Death Pitch!!!




The teams should come out to - Bring Out Your Dead by Anti-Flag

I am, there are certain Trinity fans sic, who probably blame the club for COVID and the Ukrainian war.

So you’re a grass/pitch expert are you.

Well you are wrong. We were scheduled to start training on the new pitch at BV in January. This is on record from the moment the old pitch was dug up FACT.

This was on the manufacturer’s say do, not a random decision by us.

We have followed their guidelines throughout end of debate.

And yet again the manufacturer was correct, pitch passes second unnecessary inspection.

Maybe if people weren’t passing on half baked nonsense like you have on this occasion (sorry you’re normally ok) we wouldn’t be having to put up with this nonsense- just a thought.

What really annoys me is that the Leeds pitch, which had more sand on it than Blackpool beach at the start of the season and was in a far worse state than BV got far less stick and no inspections as far as I recall. No teams seemed to care about that, yet I can't imagine it was very nice to play on, but Fatnamara and co didn't moan about that.

It's funny but they didn't like us when we had crap facilities but were happy to patronise, they seem positively terrified of us now we are getting our act together, makes you sick - though not as sick as the number of so called Trinity fans join in with them.

RFL STATEMENT – WAKEFIELD PITCH INSPECTION

The RFL have determined that Friday’s Betfred Super League fixture between Wakefield Trinity and Hull KR can go ahead as scheduled at the Be Well Support Stadium.

An inspection of the playing surface has been conducted, with officials of both clubs present, following issues since the pitch was re-laid during the off-season.

An independent consultant confirmed that the playing surface has improved significantly in the 17 days since the Huddersfield fixture on 3 March, and the RFL Board have therefore ruled that the match can go ahead as planned.

Buy your tickets and travel for Friday’s game here.

I presume we lose the Sky money and possible increased sponsorship opportunities a game on the TV brings. We also had to do additional remedial work after the Catalan game, all of which cost us money which apparently we are short of.

Well something was wrong for our game against Catalan or were their players and some of ours just self harming to make us look bad. It appears you are more knowledgeable than the rest of us so why did these injuries happen ?. The outcome is that currently every home game it gives the RFL and the opposition a chance to publicly discredit the club.

It is possible but that is best described as an unquantifiable figure and subject to many outside influences like the weather, limited number of supporters and it being on a Friday night. The Sky money is fixed and not effected by the above.

If I remember rightly from what Carter said, we always lose out when on Sky as it isn't enough compared to the gate receipts.
And it reduces each time you are on.

So ideally, our away games are on Sky, home games are not.

Funny you should say that, yes, i am. For many years in fact.

Why i'm bothering to respond i don't know but it will be my last comment on the subject as it's time to concentrate on the rugby played on it. The club were fully aware of the risks involved in going with that much loading so soon and at that time of year. They likely would have got away with it had they stuck to just the training but 5 games in about as many weeks on top during Jan/Feb is probably what did for it. Just because the theory says it could be used doesn't mean it should. It was just a decision that just didn't pay off. It happens, we move on.

The key now is to get it right as soon as for when those other interested parties come round for their look eh?

Would that still be the case though with the reduced capacity? I'd have thought the figures would probably be very similar either way.

Anyway, more importantly can we raise a team for Friday? How's Kay's arm injury? Is Langi back, doesn't his HIA protocol finish just before? Will the (for me) unfortunate Butler ever get another run? A short turn around after a tough game and golden point isn't helfpful without much scope to rest & rotate anyone.

I don't know regarding the SKY money, but seeing as it passed I suspect SKY will have to pay.

We have not had to pay any extra as far as I'm aware for any remedial work. The pitch supplier supplied new covers as part of the ongoing process. It is still under the suppliers guarantee and as we have followed their guidance, then you work it out,

I know you are desperate to sling muck Rhubarb, but this is really poor.
