Walsall: Frost covers in place

[clippedgull]

THE SADDLERS' groundstaff are continuing to battle the elements in a bid to ensure that the Banks's Stadium pitch is playable in time for Saturday's League One encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Yesterday (Tuesday), Stadium Operations Manager Dave Storr, Head Groundsman Derek McCann and their team cleared snow from the playing surface and laid frost covers in a bid to beat the chill.

"We removed around eight tonne of snow yesterday," explained Dave Storr. "Frost covers are now in place and we will continue to to monitor local weather reports."

You know what?, I thought it was all a bad dream!

At least there are new pics!

Have Walsall asked for our kitman to send up McLeods shirt in advance as additional covering ?

I don't understand why they would have done this. I am in Telford today (30-ish miles away) and the snow has been melting throughout the day - even though we have had a few flurries of snow there is less now than there was this morning. Surely putting covers on just ensure that the pitch stays frozen?

Oh well, I will leave it to the experts - I am sure the Walsall groundsmen will provide us with a pitch to be admired and talked about for seasons to come.
