However I'm not sure we can afford to sniff at the reported 100k that we earned from the event just for the appearance of the pitch for one game. The pitch didn't effect the result or the game in my opinion. Where was £100k reported? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want all those wee beetroot faces tripping themselves. Lets face facts - the only wee beetroot face belonged to Ann when she saw the state of her £1m pitch once the covers came off.....😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lighting rigs don't provide heat but light for enhanced photosynthesis and thereby increase both leaf growth and root growth. The grass species used on the pitch is 3 cultivars of dwarf PRG (Perennial Ryegrass) this is tremendously strong and fast growing and totally different from what you would grow on a golf green or bowling green (Agrostis and fescue species) . Having advised on many pitches i can tell you with strong fertilisation and lighting rig use the pitch will recover incredibly quickly and indeed pretty much already has. The STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute) are consultant agronomists to the club and and therefore the advice will be good. Its also worth noting that the PRG grass species will grow, with supplementary lighting pretty much for 10 months of the year, this is a huge advance in plant breeding technology ove the past 20 odd years. In my view having spent my working life involved with sports turf Agronomy i can say there will be no long term problem with the pitch.

That senior member of staff that I was talking to told me that the groundsman had told this senior member of staff who I talked to that it was this... ...and that there was actually no grass left on the pitch.
