Looks to be pretty close to full growth now, over a month for the natural grass to really root in
Will be fascinating to see if the synthetic system, super drainage, new natural pitch elements and under soil heating… mean that when we get to Feb whether we’ll have zero cutting up, mud and bald areas. A la big premiership club pitches.
From memory they’ve widened the side channel in front of the Pioneer… so I assume subs will run up and down that dedicated strip. That Astro will have to be of a playing type to allow studs and running without issue. But assume it’s not going to be a 5G rubber pellet type… as they’d leak into the pitch.
Haven’t played 5 aside for a while, but last time was on the latest 5G and taking your trainers off was like emptying a volcanic beach onto the hall floor!! [Post edited 8 Jul 2023 17:50]

Looks like they’ve filled in the old photographer pits as well which were a waste of space so I think the pitch and warm up area will be so much more spacious and useable |
Do you remember when a linesman/woman fell into one of the pits? |  | | |

Has the pitch size been altered by the new layout do we know? I think ours traditionally was one of the bigger pitches in the league or did I dream that up? |
The change to the pitch sees it moved oh so slightly in order that the halfway line sits midway between the dugouts (which it doesn't at the mo) |  |

Is that a piece of blue astro turf in the foreground, against pitch side? |  |
