Wasps, owners of Arena Coventry Limited, have announced that they will be laying a new pitch at the Ricoh Arena which will be in place before Coventry City's next home game with Fleetwood Town.
Speaking about the pitch, Wasps CEO Nick Eastwood said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “This is a significant investment by ACL to improve the present condition of the pitch, which we hope will give the rugby and football clubs a better platform on which to perform.
“We are not willing to compromise on the quality of the playing surface and recognise that this issue needs to be addressed now, so we have provided the best temporary solution available to us.
“We have been overwhelmed by the support of both long standing Wasps fans and new fans in the Coventry and Warwickshire community. Over 17,000 supporters have already committed to joining us at our first game against London Irish, and with over two weeks still to go before the match on December 21, we will do everything in our power to provide a high quality pitch for players to produce high quality performances and entertain supporters at the Ricoh Arena this season.”
