I was under the impression we were doing the lot, but if that's the case have they built the new pitch higher than the old one because the sideline being inches away from the perimeter has been that way since season 2014-15 at least.

It was quite clearly a result of him standing on the join/surface change. Mate, that sideline has been that close since season 2014-15. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These all get lifted and replaced several times before and after matches or during ground maintenance, so to have this area turfed is impractical. People arent wanting the full track side turfed , they just think it would be better if the turf ran 1 ft or so after the sideline instead of the joint being almost on the sideline Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was the whole track side as well but no. I think the grass gives off an optical illusion that the pitch is a few inches higher than the Astro, if the Astro was refilled and standing up you wouldn’t notice any height difference.

Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Was in this morning and it looks like they are addressing this. They have ripped up a couple of foot of the artificial surface and are laying turf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corridors and Gerrards office more or less done. The players lounge is coming on nicely but I’d say another week or so. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
