the amex pitch is ready?

[Billy the Fish]

I always used to think football stadiums were built around the grass

I'm sure they actually did that somewhere, Bolton I think.

There's a lot of work to be done before the 'mud' gets put down for the pitch. The excavator is just removing the temporary hardcore surface to re-use it somewhere else.

construction of the pitch does not begin until january. the first stage of which will be to dig trenches for the drainage pipes which are then back filled with shingle. The rootzone material will then be added on top of this and lazer leveled! At this point the irrigation system and undersoil heating pipes will go in. Would be looking to seed around the end of march so it has a good 'growing in period' before the first match. If the club are going to have a desso grassmaster pitch then it maybe that this will be added once the pitch is fairly established as the fibers are injected into the pitch from the surface. Hope this is of interest to some of you!

It is of massive interest my friend.

We'll be doing the preparation works (drainage etc) before January though

Not quite such a know-all now, are you?

But some good info there anyway, sir.

V V interesting. Do they take into account really anal stuff like the type of grass or type and acidity of the soil?

No, I expect they just chuck a load of seed down and hope for the best.

Uncle Hiney's in a SASSY mood today!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It certainly hadn't been laid when I looked - a couple of hours ago.

But there is grass growing in the northeast corner, amongst the rubble that needs to be dug out.

 

[Lush]

I thought the pitch was being woven by Hawaiian women out of the finest grass known to man.
