Had a look at some pictures of recent Wasps games when CWR made the announcement last week. Doesn't look in great condition to be honest but then they aren't preparing it with football in mind at the moment.I think it was also relaid over last summer, so not sure if it's seen any improvement since?
Guess it won't be noticed as much in rugby though as when we're back on it

With all the planned summer events now being off there should be a nice long break for them to sort the pitch out. You have to assume this has been part of the discussions between the two clubs.
Play separate weekends so it has time to recover. Water it when it’s dry, make sure the drainage is good when it’s wet and get the lights on it.Realistically, what can actually be done about 30, 18st+ men rolling about on grass?
Is there actually something that can be done?
Other teams share and don't have pitches in the state the Ricoh is. This isn't the first time we've heard about the pitch being relayed and experts brought in so what keeps going wrong? I suspect they just aren't spending enough money on it which, going off this article, may now change as we'll be sharing the cost.Realistically, what can actually be done about 30, 18st+ men rolling about on grass?

I don’t remember it being an issue for the first few years we were there so hopefully it’s not beyond the ability of a professional ground staff to have it decent for both side.
Bristol City and Bears both play at Ashton Gate and the pitch is pristine. I think Wasps neglected it previously as it didn’t matter to them and they had no reason to work on it to please us when we were at each other’s throats.
It can't be beyond the two authorities involved to divide up weekends so we don't get weekends with two games on it, that would be a good start.
Done a bit of digging pardon the pun and that isn’t 100% accurate this company are consultants in sports grounds etc and have been advising on the pitch situation that’s what they do a new pitch will be laid in the summer but they will not be maintaining it afterwards, I’m assuming it will be suitable for footie and rugger as are the likes of Swansea Wigan etc.The company who will be responsible for pitch maintenance have been in position and contracted for a while, I have known that for a while
