Coventry are really in trouble and have agreed with HMRC to defer payments until December primarily because of the five home postponements this season. This further issue with the CBS Arena will only add to these problems.

Cheeky bid for goerkrys (however that’s spelt) in January for when Ben leaves in summer . Come on venkys take advantage of a situation to resolve one

I could go all day without having to have a piss then. Today - it’s another story.

Piss poor, EFL should sort this, 48 hours or so, and we don't know what is happening! See Wasps are hopefully going to be reborn by ex-players, but doesn't involve the stadium. A ridiculous situation.

Give us the three points and game off to save legs for the derby 

[Upside Down]

Rovers should stand theit ground and not accept the game being postponed. If they cannot fulfil the fixture it should be forfeited. 

I can understand somewhat why there would be leniency for the pitch situation as it wasdown to the commonwealth games but the fixture list was released in June or July. There has been ample timefor them to sort out the situation. 

I'd be demanding three points. Rovers should not be inconvenienced because of Coventry's ineptitude. 

I feel for their fans. Absolute joke.

Are you from yarkshire? Theit ground?

[Northcote blues]

Exactly. Brentford got 3 points off Bolton when they couldn’t fulfil their game in 2019

[simongarnerisgod]

can see coventry ending up at an athletic ground (like brighton when they got evicted from the goldstone ground), i think tuesdays game will ahead as planned but that will be it

[Finlay McKenna]

Hearing suggestions from the Coventry side that the game on Tuesday will go ahead at the CBS, but will be the last game they play there for a while. Not 100% confident in the source but that's the suggestion I've got.

Coventry 2 defeats in 10, seem a hard team to beat but if Blackpool can do it then so can we

I think Hull were on a bit of a roll, including scoring 4 the game before ours. It’s a game we can win and hopefully get to 5 in a row.

Yeah and I think those two were Blackpool and Bonleh so we may as well make it a hat trick of Lancs victories.

Its a problem with Rugby Union club Wasps who owned the stadium have gone into Administration. 

Maybe Coventry City owners should try to buy their stadium of Wasps now?

Unfortunately, they appear to be brassic, and struggling to run their business other than at a significant loss (like most professional clubs these days of crazy player wages and fat cat leeches sucking the life blood out of their meagre club incomes).

It will probably be a shambles - watch it turn into a Rovers victory on the pitch, which costs us serious injuries to key players, and which is then expunged when the Sky Blues float off into administration limbo themselves...

Fooking shambles all round. And who pays, as usual? The fans...

It's appeared that way with Coventry. I don't know the full situation at Coventry or Wasps but its shows that something needs to be in place for situation and clubs should owned their own stadium or at least have a long term agreement in place.

I am not sure, but I would think it doesn't matter if you have a long term agreement, if the people you have that agreement with go to the wall.

Can you provide news link?

The only update I can find, is that a bid for Wasps RFC has been accepted.
