Christ. I thought with cardiff blues leaving it would be better. Looks shocking.

From where i sit it looks water saturated!

The wettest December in history may have had an affect

Watfords doesn't look too dissimilar

Wez, it was dreadful today, Ive been given the full story on it today and Carl will put it out later in the week

Where Wilson was in the pre match training with the attackers down the canton end the pitch was terrible

Its going to get worse.

looking at games tonight all pitches look like city's in part, may be cutbacks but no way is that only reason for way it is!!

money saving not putting then lights on it

I know for a fact that the lights are on it every night. But yes, there's obviously been a few cutbacks. Pitch looks awful.

Arsenal, Man City, Villa, Liverpool, Citeh, Swansea, Spurs & many others have the same hybrid pitch system in place. My lad played at the CCS in June just after the Belgium game and it was pristine and given it was just 2 days after the Belgium game.

I'm not one for excuses but I am surprised at the condition of our pitch given the same system is used by many notable others and precisely for the very reason that you should not see it in such a state as it is now. Today I could see that the ball would considerably slow from a 'ground' pass and that's not right. Also, I've seen players slipping as if their playing on a waterlogged regular grass pitch, No biggie, but again that's not what you expect when you invest in a hybrid pitch.

We all know that both teams have to play on the same pitch but if I had paid for an advanced 'all weather' pitch, that's what I'd expect. Sure, we've had a hell of a lot of rain but isn't that what precisely is the point of these professional pitch systems.

I'm not saying its cutbacks or anything else like that but our advanced system pitch from Desso Sports Systems looks like it needs major attention.

I'm thinking of grassing on them.

I found out today, No work has been done on it.

Maybe for pre-match music we could play the Prodigy's 'Smack My Pitch up'? Cab please squire.

It did look worse today than against Forest.

Not a good sight, at the same time though I do feel it's a bit of an easy excuse for the players considering what was put up with a decade ago.
