What loss of revenue?
Two needless pitch inspections, both passed with ease. The problem isn’t the pitch it’s the wonderful RL family.
The inspections weren’t “needless” it is evident that the pitch is responsible causing injuries to players and clubs have a duty of care for players as does the governing body namely the RFL.
The time conducted inspecting the pitch was necessary. Sky could still have broadcasted the game against Hull Kingston Rovers, the timeframe allowed that however I presume Sky didn’t want to broadcast this fixture due to the general condition of the Wakefield stadium regardless of the pitch .
For many years Wakefield have had issues with their ground it hasn’t been fit for purpose for many years.
It didn’t meet the criteria when the licensing grading system was introduced years ago.
Poor results, coupled with the fact that Michael Carter is leaving the club I think this season will be the last Wakefield play in the Superleague. The emergence of Leigh adds to Wakefields woes, good performances on the pitch and a man willing to put money into the club and invest in players.
Wakefield in my opinion have by pure luck for many years always dodged the bullet now unfortunately that luck has ran out.
