Work is being done, a friend of mine posted on his fb yesterday about taking a break from pitch work with a photo of himself with the L1 trophy in the museum
Any pictures of The State of The Art Pitch as it is today, is there any work being done please...
No photos but four of the ground staff popped into the museum yesterday while there was some spraying going on.
@charltonnick had a long chat with them but I only caught the end of the conversation. Far less work needed this summer as the plastic grass around which the real grass knits is in place and has been repaired and only a few inches of top soil removed rather than a couple of feet.
They felt it would be better and hardier this coming season.
Nick might remember more.
If I remember, I'll take a pic next Friday from the NE Quad
It looked pretty awful and threadbare at the Junior Addicks pitch day last weekend... BUT...
The actual 2.5 hours were superb. I did mean to post something here and forgot. So well organised with different training and ball skills sessions, followed by a game and then each kid got to take a penalty in front of the North Stand (they all scored). I have to say, sat watching my girl and nephew, I was very jealous !
There was then time for some photos before we left. Well done the club.
When you think the cost of the annual membership was £35 and they had already been to 2 parties with the players signing stuff, done the family day, done a tour, got birthday and Xmas cards and waved flags on the pitch it is insanely good value...
Both are season ticket holders and their season tickets are free with me and my brother's ones!
Anyway, there is a phone by the pitch which looked like it should be in the museum!

Is that the phone they ring to tell the goalkeeper to go down with an injury? 😉😆

Not sure but at least a week as per my post a few days ago.
Looks like top soil removed but as anyone who has seen my garden knows I know nothing about lawns.
After all we do have history for it.
