Any idea if it's being renewed this spring/summer

Somewhat surprised to hear you ask this question, as it has been stated on many occasions from different sources that it will be. Probably more likely to be Summer than Spring.

Not sure if this is true . I have only ever read it “ should” be replaced . Is there an article which states a contract has been awarded and to whom?

Question is how much will we have to pay for the new pitch?

Dragons are looking to play a few games at the Arms Park to further help the pitch to recover.The ideal scenario would be for Dragons to agree to play all their games there and us to play all at Cardiff City and dig up RP ASAP and get it relayed early.

With the Dragons and County not exactly flush with cash, and the WRU with a large Covid hole in their coffers, this £800k or more Desso project must now be in a degree of doubt.
Flynn when asked the question a couple of weeks back was certainly guarded with his response.

A few bags of grass seed and a couple of boxes of miracle grow is all it will have this summer, anyone thinking new pitch are imho slightly deluded.

The hole in the WRU coffers isn't as big as it was. This could work to our benefit.

Yesterday it was announced that there has been a new sponsorship deal for the 6 Nations. The WRU cut of that was apparently £50 million. The news was on the BBC sport website yesterday. This could, (could), be very good news for us.
