New Drains

The head groundsman (buzzer) had flooded the pitch with the sprinklers about an hour before I took those pictures so it seems the drains are working, the contactors are back again this week to seed it again apparantly this gives two levels of growth and a better surface, I don,t know but it seems to make sense, will nip up again at weekend and take some spot the difference pics (no prizes) lol.
 
Just back from a quick visit to the theatre of dreams to buy some merchandise. Pitch looks immaculate. As for the player situation, to quote Lew: "If you've brought your boots, we'll give you a trial." ;)

By the way, Lew, thanks for giving the family a guided tour of the stadium, complete with annecdotes. They now know where the old man disappears to every fortnight during the season! :D
 
Well it looks like you all have your wishes, the friendly against the kentucky fried chicken team has now been switched to Morecambe!!!
 
It looked green enough last night when I saw it from a few thousand feet up. It's not often that you can see the Crown Ground, Gigg Lane and Rammy United's pitches all at once!

Three things:

1) The picture is about a week old - due to the fact that it has poured down the last few times I've been at the club I've not been able to get one of any standard that's up to date!

2) The pic isn't cropped on the front page to deceive anyone - if the full size one goes on there the website loads at a snail's pace.

3) There is still a month until that Carling Cup game against Scunthorpe - at the same stage last summer you would have been hard pressed to see any grass at all!

Keep your eye on the website and I'll try and update once a week between now and then...
