Overview
- Surrey County Cricket Club launched a member perk that lets people work at the Kia Oval using ultrafast Wi‑Fi 7 and desk spaces on the terraces with pitch views.
- The perk runs at the 27,500-seat ground in Kennington, with the club saying usual refreshments will be on hand for members using the space.
- Chief executive Steve Elworthy encouraged members to treat the ground as a summer workspace and enjoy live cricket at the same time.
- Early reaction on X was upbeat, with many fans calling the setup a dream workday and urging other clubs to follow.
- Unlike earlier stadium co-working set-ups after Covid, the Oval’s plan operates during games and includes views of the pitch, which other venues did not offer.
