Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Olympics.... It's been great, hasn't it. Never thought I'd find myself getting excited about BMX freestyle, but there you go. Just a shame Team GB couldn't muster a men's football team but you can't have everything I suppose. Nobody asked Sutton United that’s why 🤷🏼♂️

That’s great - however... can’t see how the pitch can be ready in 10 days for an official game...

Let’s leave that sort of question to the experts eh…?!?! Not sure there was a question. Don’t think we have a resident forum expert to provide a view (?) so we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime anyone can offer an opinion, uninformed or otherwise.

Sensible SUFC, i've seen a few posts and people seem to worry and come to their own conclusions without any info from the heirachy. I'm sure we will get some update from our wonderful management team when they have a time.

Bloody fox again approximately 20.50hrs ran across the pitch and then peed in the centre 🙆🏼♂️🤦♂️🤬

I honestly thought that was it yesterday as work finished early but tractor back on the pitch this morning.

I guess they are trying to get it as flat and true as possible by continually filling and raking. Having played on an Axminster carpet for many years this of course what we want, so I hope they don't decide that the surface is as good as they can get it given the weather enforced timescale and start seeding too early.

Can' take chances with these pitches, has to be right from the start. Once established a very high maintenance system is required.

Obviously no surprise given the progress. Shame to wait so long for our home opener and not brilliant for the cashflow. Some questions in my mind on the contractors. Given the tight timeframe it was surprising to see it take so long to show some urgency. The recent day they extended until 9 was the first day when they seemed to put a longer shift in. Not sure you can shrug the shoulders and bemoan the bad weather when they are forecast pretty accurately. Surely you’ve got to make up as much time as possible on the good days (of which there were plenty). Again maybe a simplistic look at things and likely complications involved but just how it looks from the outside.
