They were donated by GMP and have been made into a lighting rig that helps maintain the bit in the penalty areas that the keepers wear out.

thetramfixer Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Isn't there a meeting of clubs very soon (June iirc) with regards to allowing artificial pitches? I think they've already had one last year but a few Championship clubs binned the idea as they'd then have to rip it up if they made the big leap into the PL! Would stop this winter drudge year in year out - and probably make a bit of money in the long run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have them before they were seized to pay off debts after bayliffs attended I believe. (Under Corney) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when you've got some good growth regular cutting and strimming should leave you with a nice, lush lawn.

(Under Corney) This is True, about Xmas time a couple of seasons ago. Another latics first if I remember rightly, the first EFL club that had them taken back. They were rented from a company, we didn't pay and they were taken away Edited May 17, 2018 by underdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want you to compromise yourself though. My limited knowledge would say we've tried bacterial improvement and seen much better rooting (and it held up better0. The blocked drain was sorted. I was thinking a full relay or new Desso was about all that was left? Cheers Pile of sand next to pitch today so looks like similar works to last year rather than major renovation!

thetramfixer Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Maybe they've/they'll take up what's left of the grass and lay down the sand for a bedding/drainage layer then put soil/turf on top? I've literally no idea about grass as mine's artificial .. so who knows what the sand is for lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
