Thought our passing game was pretty damn good yesterday. Question whether we could play like that on a Ricoh pitch after the first few egg chasing games
Arent all pitches slightly curved for water drainage or do you mean something else?From my seat position it looked as though the pitch had a curve on it. But didn’t impact our play
Was a nice surface we could play football on, which most have been asking for for some time

It was constantly getting covered in flying insect shit!Plenty of grounds have a game a week, just needs managing correctly by good football groundsmen . The Ricoh clearly was left to go to shit unfortunately
Think seaside is right - lots of pitches are higher in the middle and have a gentle slope away to the edges.Yeah the pitch looked like it "bulged" up from my seat
What type of pitch is it at SA
so is the quality of the pitch in Coventry a barrier to our return to the Ricoh? If it suits Wasps game now they could be unlikely to change it. CCFC & players repeatedly highlight it as a problem
The other thought is if it is a problem for wasps and they utilise some of the CVC windfall to improve the infrastructure of the playing surface and go to 5G hybrid or even fully artificial. That would effectively prevent us from using the Ricoh under EFL rules wouldnt it ?
What type of pitch is it at SA that at first glance and from MR comments appears to suit us (ie Natural, 3G, 4G) ?

The Ricoh's hybrid though isn't it? All down to maintenance?
Suspect so. Other teams share with a rugby club and don't have the issues we've seen at the Ricoh. After our first season back Wasps did claim that the company who installed it would be taking over maintenance, would expected them to be involved anyway. Not sure if that happened. If it wasn't done on the cheap I'd be asking for my money back.The Ricoh's hybrid though isn't it? All down to maintenance?
I heard that the Ricoh pitch was a certain cost and there was a maintenance cost on top of theat. London Wasps decided to go for just the pitch and maintain it themselves, which they clearly are incapable of doing, to save some cash. Rugby and football can be played on the same surface as evidenced by any number of grounds that do it without destroying the pitch.
Then there was a big press overload that they had got some heat lamps in over the winter.
