Popped up to the CBSA yesterday to drop the Ugandan Supporters Club flag up there. Apparently they'll be quote a few flags on display this season.

The new Anecdote bar looks smart actually. Will that be open for us to use on matchdays?

Thats opposite the Flying Standard now.

They’re one of the UKs most successful companies. Bigger market cap than M&S or Centrica.

They own a lot of board game IP and licensing for things like Dr Who I think, plus are big in the states. Plus the man child dollar is pretty lucrative.

I think it's in homage to our historical flare protests. Which of course played their part in getting us back to where we are.

Not keen on the font or case for the Arena text, but it looks alright. I mean, it's blue as well.

It definitely still does say WASOH. What a mess. Hopefully they've realised it's gonna look shite and we get it done properly.

That massive Wasps sign is still annoying. We should be allowed to have equal signage around the ground.

There is some really basic stuff they could do to improve the feel of the Ricoh. Painting those railings is one. Black would be fine.

Those steps down to the shop and ticket office are normally blocked off aren't they? Assume they'll open them and then possible put a wall or something up to block off the away section.

We definitely need a couple of new club crests inside the stadium the same size as the Wasps ones. Or even better something in place so its Wasps logo when they play and ours when we play.

The WASHO thing is odd. Have they got that far and realised they haven't got enough seats or something? When the picture was in the Telegraph assumed it was taken while they were working on it but that was weeks ago.

Whole place still needs a massive clean and basic maintenance doing, so much over it that would look better with a deep clean and coat of paint.

Is anyone considering in investing in a paint gun and giving the Wasps badge a sky blue look???

Doesn't help that the Wasps logo is terrible. If it was something half decent might be a bit easier to ignore.
