Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson was far from happy with the way the decision to change venues for tomorrow's Carabao Cup tie with Coventry was handled having labelled the situation as "a farce."
After a day of discussions on Monday, the decision was eventually taken to move the contest to Burton's Pirelli Stadium after Coventry's CBS Arena failed a pitch inspection.
The pitch, which is full of "craters and divots" after 60 tonnes of sand was poured onto the turf was deemed unsafe and unplayable after a referee inspected the pitch before Sunday's postponed contest with Rotherham. The stadium is owned by Wasps Rugby Team who failed to get the pitch relaid over the summer after it hosted concerts and the rugby sevens during the Commonwealth Games.
