Just taking a moment and looking at the background of the images we see on the city unseens video (also something i look forward to more and more in the week)
you can see the effort thats going on behind the scenes, things wed only dream of and now take for granted, a huge thank you to DK and to the frasers too for letting it happen.
look at bobby in the prematch, white/skyblue tiles in the bathroom area, club crests everywhere, sky blue everywhere, theres no sign of any other club other than ours. i know its simple but the hurt i felt when seeing our players walking out with wasps logos behind them, rugby players faces in shot behind them, the lines painted green on the pitch is something ill never forget and never take for granted.
If ever I'm feeling down I just remember Wasps are dead and have a big old smile about it.Just taking a moment and looking at the background of the images we see on the city unseens video (also something i look forward to more and more in the week)

I believe as things stand the corpse isn't even twitching. For the sake of anyone unfortunate enough to get involved with those rotten bugs, let's hope it stays that way.What actually happened with them in the end? I remember them on about moving to Oxford, and then Kent. Did all of that fall through?

Don't.I feel sorry for some of their fans
I want the outside of the ground repainted to cover the shadows of their badgesIts the best now its ever been in terms of branding, even before Wasps.
Frasers seem quite happy for it to appear as our ground, allowing safe standing etc. Wasps or the Council would've never allowed that.
Still more to do though. I want to see our name on that white panelling above the boxes, HR style

Enough coats of proper sky blue will cover the shireI imagine that to be tricky. That panelling was originally too dark. Time has turned it Sky Blue. If they paint it now they need to make sure they get the right colour

Maybe that was the plan? All these things fade eventually.I love how mother nature has turned it Sky Blue tbh. Even the laws of physics knows its our ground really

I dont. They were quit happy to take the devils shilling and laugh at our plightI feel sorry for some of their fans
Edit, since confirmed this image on google maps pictures of area is a photoshop job. The actual roof still has marks showing where RIOCH has been removed. I guess nobody thought ahead to the day when their sponsorship would cease.i wouldnt be surprised if in the summer we see more stadium changes/upgrades. a nice lick of paint would be nice, i do wonder if youd need some sort of planning agreement form the council to turn the whole stadium blue.
is ricoh still on the roof?
i mean, that looks like a bad photoshop job
Actually the google maps image I scraped this from is a few years old and I can't be sure that is still there, I don't go in that way.This wall needs to be properly covered over.

Would be interesting to know what would be expenditure would be required if we were to get promoted.
I watched a video on the Ipswich YouTube channel a few weeks before the season and couldn't believe what was required. They spent huge sums of money.
actually saying that, needs a new full PA system.New floodlights, permanent TV studio, more work on the segregation

its definitely not like that. walking up at the weekend noticed how shabby the roof looked with the outline of Ricoh still up there. Place needs a real good clean. The whole exterior is shabby. Landscaping and paths need a bit of work as well.
Wasps left a massive list of work needing to be done.

Sure it must be lined up. Would be odd to spend money doing the ground up but then leave people with a poor first impression.
There was a report included in the administration stuff that detailed all the manintenace and it was all costed. Came to tens of millions.Wasps left a massive list of work needing to be done. (shocking how quickly a stadium can fall behind)
We’re getting new LED lights. There was a tender posted on LinkedIn.New floodlights, permanent TV studio, more work on the segregation

Even essential stuff like fire alarms and CCTV weren't working properly. You can bet if it had been us and not Wasps running it down like the the SAG would have been quick to pull the license.
