Not as bad as 3 years ago but surprisingly worn for a Desso pitch. Club doing all they can with sun lights on day and night.

Think you'll find the last picture is where the keepers warm up and get most stick,thats why most clubs don't warm up in the actual goal.Trouble is grass won't grow unless over 48F ,not many days anywhere near that in the past months,with Desso the grass will still be there wrapped round the artificial grass and shoot up once it gets some heat.We only have few portable lamps but the likes of Arsenal have enough to stretch right across the pitch.

The grass in front of the South is the worst area because of the lack of sunlight.Sunlight+Heat =Grass.
