Wasn't it meant to be being relaid this summer?

How the fucks that happening considering they've had the killers and now Rammstein on it, and 6 weeks until the season starts?

It’s also being used for the Commonwealth games as well.

You don't half get worked up about nothing at times

Correct i do

But soon as December rolls round and we're playing on a ploughed field again we will have the inevitable complaints.

Just pointing out we were told that this close season would see it all relaid

Think it'd be weird for wasps to relay the pitch whilst begging for money to stay solvent

I thought the pitch actually played quite well last season.

Also something to think about is that there won’t be as many games played Nov - Dec due to the World Cup

Don’t think it takes that long to lay a pitch.

I think they were just talking about the training pitches and not the stadium.

No, last year when the return to the arena was confirmed, there was a vague comment about relaying the pitch next (this) summer, though I'd imagine that is subject to investment from both parties neither of whom have got a pot to piss in

Fair enough, I must of missed that.

Maybe with the mid season break this year they decided to push the renovations back a season hoping the break would allow the grass to repair.

Thought it had been mentioned more recently than that to be honest.

Maybe it has, but then I suppose it was a generally mild winter and the pitch held up OK on the whole so they've reprioritised

Ajax relaid their pitch in 72 hours from starting the strip out to playing a Champions league game on it. Did the Stadium tour last week and there was 5 min timeline video of it.

Commonwealth games will probably fund the pitch improvements.

Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it but I think we all know Wasps aren't in a position to be throwing money at anything. Prepare for another season of a poor pitch and promises being made that things will improve.

Coventry City boss plea to Wasps for flatter pitch at CBS Arena

The Coventry Building Society Arena pitch is beginning to show signs of wear and tear that Mark Robins believes is slowing his side's game down

There is a difference between ’poor’ , having ‘wear and tear’ and a manager wanting the perfect playing surface.

Maybe it will be a Boris Johnson type relaying of the pitch? Get a box of grass seed from B&M for a couple of quid, chuck some around and say "I got it done."

I thought it wasn't possible after the last few years of pre-season but I have to say that the hysterics this year are already reaching whole new levels.

Can't wait to see what's next!

I once did a 72hr pool and darts marathon for charity, anything’s possible if you put your mind to it and take enough speed Sadly there is no video.
