Cool video of drone footage from above the CBS shot yesterday.

Pitch looks dreadful? Roof looks a little tatty goo. Surprised Fraser's haven't added their logo on top of the arena.

When was that drone footage taken? Those aerial views of the playing surface look nothing like the condition of the pitch at the last home match v Leicester or last week's training sessions when Rytons pitches were frozen.

Looks recent as the corner still has the netting from where the camera was for the Leicester game

Think as we don’t have a game for a couple of weeks they’ve probably scarified it and put down some fresh seed.

Tbf, they have cleaned the chevrons that you can see from the ground level. Looks much better when you’re there now. Still a mess from an overhead view though.

Roof not spotlessly clean shock.

I’m pretty sure there’s a drone exclusion zone around the stadium so I wonder if they got a permit for this?

Must admit I am even less concerned about the dirty roof than I was the broken window at the training ground.

Isn't that just overseeding and pitch dressing? They've probably been doing some maintenance as we've had a little break from playing at home?

Just having lights on the pitch is an improvement

If you’ve not played the game I recommend it. Meditative.

Are those heat lamps in the 6 yard boxes?

The police usually have a drone up at the end of the game above the car/ coach park

We need massive heat lamps same as the ones at Villa Park I seen when driving past one day they go from all the way across the pitch.

We’ve got them I think. They’re just not using them here. Seen loads of them before outside the ground

I maybe wrong but I think they are using the heat lamps. If you go past the arena at night you can see the glow emanating from the lights.

Surely the sponsorshp of the Arena stretches to giving it a clean once in a while.

Admittedly it does look a bit grubby from the top but is it worth going to that much effort to clean it when if no one had sent a drone up there you wouldn't have noticed?
