Thread to discuss this news article - Providence Stadium - Still Not Ready

You would think that the WC guys might have stepped in just a tad ealier than two and a half days before the first game but if they aren't ready it's going to cause just a small amount of termoil with all the travel, hotel and a few upset fans

Didn't the Windies set up a special visa for the World Cup to allow movement around the different venues?

EDIT: Yes they did

CARICOM Special Visa

Oh right, not sure on the answer on that one - but I would imagine that as it wasn't their fault they could.

I'm guessing that the refund doesn't include flights out and hotels though...

well for me thats not going to be a issue since i'll be moving throught the two countries with a Trinidadian passport. Again my father has got to deal with that visa issue..
