RobHowe Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It'll be seed not turf. Turf wouldn't last 5 minutes unless it had had weeks to bed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It'll be seed not turf. Turf wouldn't last 5 minutes unless it had had weeks to bed in.Didn't they try and turf Wembley at first and it was coming up in lumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MallorcaOwl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Desso GrassMaster is a sports playing field surface composed of natural grass combined with artificial fibres. The artificial grass fibres are injected 20 centimetres (7.9 in) deep, and cover about 3% of the surface. While the grass is growing, the roots intertwine with the artificial fibres. The designers claim this anchors the field to create a solid, even structure with good drainage and 'playing comfort'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prendo's boots Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 'Playing comfort' ?!!! Wtf!!...I want a Dave Clements/Mick Pickering/Mickey Lyons leader in there next season....nowt comfortable about it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginner Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 ...Given when they started ripping up our old 'pitch' I'd say they've got their work cut out to be ready for the new season, especially if we're having Desso.... Can't believe we're the first club to replace an existing pitch in the close season with a Desso plus new underground heating and drainage. Fairly sure Desso and the contractors wouldn't want to put their reputations on the line if they didn't think it could be done in the time allowed.

asteener1867 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I can remember Kamara on Goals on Sunday a few years ago sayin' "Wednesday fans would turn up to watch the grass grow" I thought.."F.ook off..daft tw*t! He was right apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So it's pretty safe to say we won't be having any home friendlies pre season if RobHowe thinks we are up against it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Can't believe we're the first club to replace an existing pitch in the close season with a Desso plus new underground heating and drainage. Fairly sure Desso and the contractors wouldn't want to put their reputations on the line if they didn't think it could be done in the time allowed. The contractors are aiming to be finished with pitch seeded by the 14th June when Desso is due to start. It takes about 10 days for the Desso fibres to be injected so the pitch has about 7 weeks to grow for the start of the season. It doesn't sound a lot to me but as you say the contractors, Desso & the club won't put their reputations on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 QPR did a similar renovation in 2013 (overseen by the same guy who's doing ours Nick Danvers). They didn't start unitl the end of may but it was ready for the opening day of season against us on August 3rd. http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/280513-pitchworks-underway-836666.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If they're willing to put the pitch in for United after ours, pretty sure ours will be ready for the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetsheri Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Looks like the top sand is going on. They will then seed it and wait til end mid June to inject the fibres. That's what the expert doing it suggested when he said they'd be ready for desso by mid June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
