New scoreboard in the North Standard looks good, shame it will likely be removed. If you've got seats at the back of that stand, I doubt you'll sit there in the first game.


Will be interesting to see if they get all the advertising boards, fencing, catering etc sorted in time.

When they moved the score board from the corner wasn't there supposed to be two? I have a vague memory of that and poster on drunken drivel asking when the second one was going in.

Fingers crossed the pitch isn't totally destroyed before we even get to play a game

Pitch doesn’t look great close up and it’s being cut up already. Not great.

Doesn't that work out as equivalent to about 11-12 normal games of Rugby in the week before the Rotherham game?

There's a new camera angle on the BBC and the ground looks so much better.

Likely they refused being so close to the season. Perks of owning your own ground!

Because no matter how much we hate it, The CBS is a rugby stadium too.

It's also the only multi-purpose stadium in the Midlands. Villa Park couldn't host the wrestling etc.

Standard for big games hosts, it's a base but a lot of stuff goes to surrounding areas or further afield

It was originally Villa Park but they told them to do one as they were worried about the pitch recovering in time for the football season.

The centre circle is already turning into a mud pit and we’re only 4 games in.

The wrestling was originally scheduled for the NEC, we've basically ended up with the shit nobody else wanted.

Fingers crossed its like the olympics and the amount of time the set and breakdown requires means they actually lose money.

Centre spot is looking a mess already. That’s that fucked for the rest of the season.

Interestingly, the guy who posted about the pitch has his bio as

Groundsman for Coventry City FC at the CBS Arena

Doesn't even mention Wasps.

How does it work if he's working on the pitch for the Commonwealth games?

Just seen this when the cricket finished. Pitch looks a mess already and its only day one. Is there a plan to have a drop in pitch once the tournament is over as this looks like it will be destroyed.

Or will this be another occasion where we've been told Wasps are spending money on state of the art pitch maintenance and we end up with a terrible pitch.

Also England are playing, and losing, at the moment and the place is empty.

He'll have his work cut out for him, only day one and the pitch is being torn to shreds. Unless there's a replacement pitch ready to drop in as they have done in the past at Wembley after the NFL it could be worse than ever.

The pitch is wrecked, the amount of people watching it could have been held at the memorial park.

Looks like there’s a hell of a lot more matches to go. No saving that by the time it’s finished

Weren't they supposed to be relaying the pitch over the summer?
Maybe they should have left it until the World Cup break...

Hopefully it's in our rental agreement that we reduce what we pay them if the pitch isn't in an adequate state.

Don't mind a bit of bobbling for a while if it means those pricks lose even more cash
