The blue seats look more blue. Especially in the lower Cobbold. Maybe they contrast more against the newly blacked exec boxes |  |

5million is that true?
Thought it was only a million. |  | | |

It wouldn't be surprising to be close to it.
Massive job undertaken. Irrigation alone is incredibly expensive let alone the undersoil heating and the cost of the fake stuff. |  |

Think Ashton said it was around £2million for the pitch work.
Some other extensive refurbishments as well though, would’ve bumped the price up a bit but can’t imagine it was another 3 mill. |  |

Phil has kept very quiet on the press box refurbishment I notice...... |  |

Looking good. I wasn’t sure about the blue surround when I first heard about it, but that looks great. Looks like the pitch has got a bit of filling in to do? It’s probably not been helped by the crappy weather, even with artificial lights. |  |

Looks as if they have narrowed the width of the actual pitch?
Not sure our wingers will approve. |  |

Isn’t it actually a bit wider and longer? | |

I very much doubt that it’s wider. But it certainly looks longer. |  | | |

The amount of work that's gone on at the club is nothing short of sensational, that's one brilliant picture | | | |

3m longer at SAR end, 1m longer at SBR end, so centre line has moved a bit. Allegedly about an inch wider. | | | |

They've definitely reconfigured the away seats too.
Managed to squeeze in 2,000 seats in V1/V2, so that part of E block can be sold to home supporters. | | | |

Wow.
What a job that has been done there.
Looks a like a beautifully modern stadium dripped in history!
EDIT: Notice the entrance tunnel has been blacked out - think there is more internal work on the entrance area been completed as well - doesn't look like a shoddy shack in the corner of the ground anymore. [Post edited 4 Aug 2023 7:41]

Maybe it would be best for everyone if the right wingers disappeared and we just played down the left? |  |

It may have gone under the radar with the pitch, the blue surround and the pebbledash biting the dust, but the removal of the awful 'Welcome to Portman Road' sign and the painting black of the control room, just looks so much nicer! | | | |

Highly doubt this if I’m honest. That would take a fair bit of work! Sears were regularly sold in E block to hope supporters at the end of last season. |  | | |

A lot get's said about Gamechanger's investment into the playing side of things, but the turnaround at PR and Playford Road has been phenomenal and won't have been cheap. Hopefully, a few more through door before the window closes, but the infrastructure certain is in place to push on now. Blue trim around the pitch looks superb.Kudos to MA and the ownership team.

Can anyone work out what they are doing by the pitch in that pic? Are they black seats going in or part of the led advertising board? | |

It's the advertising board, I'm sure, although the two fellas there are busy fitting GPS transceivers to each of the 99 billion specialist worms we have hired, so that they can be directed to areas of the pitch which are not draining so well. | |

I think they've put in mini bars on 3 sides to help with the half time queuing for drinks at the bar

Yeah, when I first heard the trim around the pitch was going to be blue I had visions of it looking rather tacky but it sure does look the part! The place is going to look fabulous when it's packed to the rafters. |  | | |

I don’t think Sears was a symbol of hope. |  |

Looks great. It will be a really superb ground once the cobbold is raised to the same height as Chrurchmans in a couple of years time :) |  | | |
