I presume this means we can sue the pitch supplier for the inconvenience caused and loss of revenue.

By all accounts I believe the club were training away from the pitch for many weeks in pre season as advised.

Not sure why certain fans are so quick to point the finger at the club with absolutely no proof.

Hold on…

Why are we letting an opposition club representative dictate if they want to play on a pitch or not???

Surely it will undergo a pitch inspection by a professional and if it passes the benchmark it will be played.

I’m confused. Can someone explain?

They were, but only for about 6 or 7 weeks then back to BV to save a few quid. That wasn't long enough when trying to establish it in winter, then we thought playing 5 games on it in a month was a good idea. I can promise you our groundsman was not a happy bunny. The club have done very well with ground redevelopment but they do get things wrong sometimes you know and this is one of those times. We'll just have to deal with it.

We have dealt with it. The pitch has passed 2 x inspections. One in pre season when friendlies were played and 1 before Hudds match.

The pitch has passed the standard and satisfied regulations so I’m not quite sure how the club can be held to task.

If a pitch passes an inspection it’s fit to play on which they did.

I still don’t understand how a hull kr official can still say they have concerns when it’s been passed a few weeks ago and there was no issues from both wakey and Hudds.

I would be saying well it’s tough. You come and play on it or forfeit your game and thanks for the two points.

How can a pitch inspection take place and a decision be made hours later? Seems very bizzarre.

The media release before the Huddersfield game didn't actually say it had passed, just that both teams had agreed to play…..

As for today there was an RFL groundsman there so i’d imagine the casting vote will go with him. Maybe the decision was made and one of the clubs is arguing either way which is causing the delay? Time will tell, it’ll all come out in the wash.

I dread to think how silly the rfl would look if the pitch wasn’t passed. Afterall, they have passed it in pre season and I believe employed an independent inspector who also allowed it to proceed (whether it passed or not). One would assume it did though as the game got played.

Last game seemed to be played with no consequence for both Wakey and Hudds. Can’t see why this one shouldn’t unless.

The decision should be made by a person who is qualified to inspect pitches. Again if it passes the test then it’s played regardless of what Trinity/KR think or may have issue with.

Fully agree and you’d hope the RFL inspector was qualified! But this is the RFL we are talking about and looking silly tends to be their modus operandi.

When they had the pitch inspection for the huddersfield game the contractor for playing surfaces for the rfl was there so he/she would have had her input and a say in the matter so would have been passed based on his findings. I do wonder with all the building work going on if something is getting thrown up in the air that's harmful to the pitch potentially stopping it growing.
