Good to see it will be the same as Ryton and finally an elite pitch being laid for us.

Can only be good news moving forward, hopefully this will see a reduction in injuries too as last season was silly!

 

[Ash]

Couldn’t help but notice in the pictures that the wasps dugout seats have finally gone, could finally get some CCFC ones back in there

Can someone forward this post to Boddy, he might be unaware it's happening.

Good news, wonder if it's part funded by Fraser group who own the stadium?
I thought the temporary fix pitch held up pretty well until the end of the season... if it did cost £1Mil, in today's financial climate to be ripped up in hours seems crazy... ..thanks Wasps another part of their legacy, we sold our best defender to fund it and its now it's in the bin confined to the history books.

They’re available on the Sports Direct website clearance section.

Jeez Ash, how the hell did you notice that, what device are you using to view the pictures?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Great news re: the pitch, let’s be honest it’s been a bloody farce for years, it’s remarkable we have been able to play the type of game we do on it.
And to have identical ones too at Ryton has to be good.
Good old Doug…again.

Great that the pitch is being relaid, but we seem to have had problems with it from the very opening of the stadium. Don't know if there's some underlying drainage issue due to the type of soil (though a professional pitch should be dug pretty deep to lay good base layers and drainage.) Obviously been even worse recently due to Wasps playing on it and hopefully it'll hold up well this time.

If not then I think the problem would require the entire sublayers to be dug out and redone.

New pitch you say? Gyokeres to Sporting confirmed

 

[RegiswasGod]

Although according to the telegraph, the pitch is going out on a season long loan....

 

[Joy Division]

Good to see we are sorting out the horrible concrete track around the pitch too

Totally funded by the Sky Blues.

 

[Flying Fokker]

It seems early compared to other years. May be wrong of course.

 

[cooperskyblue]

A lot earlier than last year.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hardly the best benchmark

Wonder how that works with other events on the pitch. Surely there will be some safeguards in place around what use it gets and who pays if someone else fucks it up

Yeah exactly, would we get a % of the rent for the upkeep?

For example if we buy and maintain the pitch and Frasers rent it out for a local cup final in the rain and it needs work...

 

[cooperskyblue]

It was a joke obviously. But I've seen other clubs posting similar images of their pitches being renovated.

It's very positive to see it being done and underway and alongside the work at Ryton it feels like we are operating like a proper club at long last.

Excited to see the rest of our business on the pitch next.

I’m more concerned why you’re getting adverts for neo-Nazi groups in Brazil?

Safe standing do we think?

Which block? Can’t be any they’ve had on sale… is this the way to get 13 open?

 

[lordy_87]

Looks like they've removed quite a few seats

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I'm sure his little boy Adolf has nothing to do with it.

 

[Joy Division]

These look like the railings they added for access to the pitch for concerts. I'd imagine these will be removed with the missing seats added back in soon.

Hahaha, it's just me and my 10 year old son. I'll sit him down for a chat

 

[ccfcricoh]

they removed seats and put barriers in for the concert i believe - god knows if it'll stay for the football or not

Plenty of “events” at Wembley seems to be okay.

How's that relevant?

Good. The pitch is too green. We need experience!
