Strike a light, what's happened to it? Did nobody re-seed it after CCFC (Limited, Holdings, whatever) stopped paying the due maintenance costs?
looks better than at the weekend doesn't it? another few days shouldn't be too bad.
We are going to have problems this year though the pitch is going to get way to much use and rugby makes a mess (assuming that happens) this is completely sisus fault too though, can't expect anything else.

FYI, there is another gaming festival in November. http://insomniagamingfestival.com/
Must be a bit of a money spinner, that will be the 3rd one this year!

Maybe they can put it out in the car park instead?

Can't see it being much better within a couple of days now? Awful.
If this is a current photo (??), if so, then we have big problems, I would need a closer inspection to be certain but from this picture alone the center of the pitch will not fully recover by the time winter late autumn hits and as we are coming to the end (especially if the temperature drops) of the peak growing season then I suspect we could end up with a beach scene again in the center of the pitch, not good for passing football.
Having said that, if there is a good grass covering and it's just grass that's been covered for a week, with luck it will recover.
Interestingly looking at the segregation that is in place - Block 13 round to Block 10 - No mans land - this will be a problem as my ticket for the game Friday is in block 11 directly under the "L" - Still struggling to understand why we need so much segregation???????
Somebody said it might be an old pic, so not 100%
I think it must be, it looks nothing like the pics from the weekend, on the weekend pics most the pitch looked great but with some thick bands of ruined grass, your photo is almost the opposite, no bad bands (in fact some nice green area where they were), but generally poor pitch.

There are apparently 4 per year. The August one is by far the biggest. It is unlikely there will be similar damage to the playing surface caused by the November one

This makes more sense, if this is the case, this is recoverable, BUT if there is another gaming event in November on the pitch this is going to cause bigger problems.I think it is an old photo, sorry!!
This is the latest one then:

A bit of watering and some sunlight will do the trick.
Weather this week in Coventry looking ok from what I see.

I edited the first post once I found it was 100% an old one
They might have posted before my edit!Or they are now commenting on the newer pic and your angry mardy is completely misplaced.

My understanding is that CCFC are only paying for the parts of the ground they are actually using and this extends to the pitch. Provided SP can be convinced to play the long ball game they can get away with not paying anything for the middle third of the pitch. Whole areas of the pitch could be nominated as no go areas for CCFC players in order to reduce costs. Maybe they can factor in any sub standard areas of the pitch in these calculations.
The final cost will be decided by using Optima statistics. So, players may be encouraged to conserve their energies and not run around.

With regard to this I'd heard we're bringing Aidy Boothroyd back - it's going to save us a fortune.

Only at the end Sky Blues are attacking. It'll be nice to have a little advantage.
