When I went to the Valley for my Wimbledon, Portsmouth and Birmingham cup tickets, the gentleman kindly let me go in to look at the pitch from the South West corner gate. It looked lovely, there were several people in the stands cleaning seats, this was apparently because during the new pitch process loads of dust or material used in the process was blown around the stadium and dirtied the seats, it wasn’t part of any routine seat cleaning happening the gentleman said.
It looks like one of those news reports where customers of a Willy Wonka experience or Christmas Santa trips are standing around an empty warehouse looking sad and saying "they promised us an unforgetable fun time event and all we got was a few chairs and half a cup of orange squash, little Brooklyn/Arthur/Britney are devastated".
I reckon it might have seemed like a good idea when the weather was warm, and not raining. But it does look like a wasted aesthetic opportunity in terms of both the content and the visuals. Does it get removed between matches?

RIP @Addickted
on TV the other night I didn’t feel it looked noticeably better (though looked absolutely fine).
