Tigers pitch is undergoing it's annual renovation?..... I presume that we will need to do likewise...which I assume reduces the window for revenue use of the pitch in the summer? Quite surprised me....

Same supplier, newer design.

“This will create a nice clean sand profile which we will then top dress with around 80 tons of sand. We’ll then aerate the pitch"

Sounds just like Weston - hopefully with donkeys!

Love the name of the groundsman. Ed Mowe.

The article seems to suggest the process only takes 3 days so presumably sensible planning would allow for the pitch still to be used for gigs etc

From what I can see the Tigers contractor - Premier Turfing in Langworth, Lincs a different supplier to one being used at Kingsholm - County Turf based in Scunthorpe and laying a 'Hero Hybrid Grass' pitch.

Not much difference I think.

Tom Jones' agent is keeping a very close eye on the matter.
