Amex pitch-watering system.

Seeing the pitch being watered I had the following thoughts:

a) There are outlets/sprinkler heads within the playing surface. I'm not sure whether these are pop-up types or what. I'm wondering if the playing surface is degraded by this system. Obviously this has been thought out but wonder if anyone has any 'inside knowledge' as to how it works.

b) Can't imagine the sprinler heads would be attached manually before watering.

They will be pop up ones, most big clubs and Wembley have them, from being at Wembley, the pitch gets watered in stages at half time
