It's nice that the pitch has gone from Jade to Chocolate to Amber, and over the next few weeks (hopefully) back to Jade again.

It looks like the final levelling phase.

It looks like the final levelling phase. There is a "nutrients" layer to add. Then the carpet is to be "stitched". Then we get seeding. At that point every supporter assists by praying for perfect long days of sunshine and we can use the recently installed sprinklers to provide the watering - rather than the rain we have been witnessing over the last couple of weeks.

They've been complaining that it's too wet, and now they're making it wet!!!

Ok, having seen that 'dragged' into place I'm going with timall's 'stitched carpet' rather than Stewart's 'grass'.

We set up sub-committees to explore the different main projects and examine the quotes. Fortunately I was not on the pitch committee but I did get to listen on Zoom to the (sales) pitches from the final two bidders and the technology behind providing a modern grass or grass/hybrid pitch is quite astounding. It is a long way removed from Clary (that's one for the old timers) sowing seed every summer after the last game of the season.

Thanks for the video clip, I am sure that i was not alone in thinking that we had to spread a grass seed mix, on to a prepared surface and wait for it to grow!! and be able to play on it mid August.
As Davef said its a far cry from Clary!!

Does anyone know what the pitch dimension will be ? - and will it be the same as the 3G pitch ?
Wembley for comparison is 105x 68 m I believe.
Will we have stripes or squares when it’s cut?
