needles Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Norravinit. Why make any changes connected with the football side when the manager is yet to be appointed? They're just relaying the pitch; they can mark it out however they want anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We'll be back in 81 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 When i went past the other day there was mountains of sand and soil in the car park outside the west stand. God how wide are they making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God how wide are they making it. This is very strange. Earlier in this thread Eddie reported huge amounts of sand and now it has turned into mountains. Maybe Nick Knowles and DIY SOS are coming in to build a dugout big enough to fit Steve Evans into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eustonstation Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 9 hours ago, Chilwellram said: Derby County signs multi-million pound deal for six SISGRASS pitches Derby County is set to install a part artificial pitch in its home ground - the same surface that will be used for the 2018 World Cup final. The Championship team has signed a multi-million pound deal with Cumbria-based Sis Pitches to install six SISGRASS pitches at its iPro Stadium and Moor Farm training facility. Paul Clement, the former Derby County head coach, recommended the pitch to the club's board after testing the surface at St George's Park - England's National Football Centre in Burton-on-Trent. "This kind of pitch allows us to play the football style we want and has a very even roll and bounce. It has the 'give' we are looking for and meets all of our requirements," said Clement, who left his post yesterday (8 February). Derby will wait to install the pitch until the end of the 2015/16 season, although work on the training facilities are scheduled to start in the spring. SISGRASS is reinforced natural grass which is made up of 95 per cent natural turf injected by synthetic yarn which acts as the "anchor point for the natural grass root". For this project more than 150 miles of synthetic yarn will be injected into the pitches. The surface will be used at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow for the 2018 World Cup final - the first time the showpiece game will be played on anything but 100 per cent natural turf. John Vicars, chief operating officer for Derby County FC said: "We want the best quality surfaces right the way across the club and in SISGRASS we have chosen what we believe to be the highest level of innovative reinforced natural turf. "The club trialled the SISGRASS pitches recently at St George's Park and the quality was particularly impressive. The coaching staff and players felt comfortable on it and that is extremely important for us." For the original article, visit www.sportsmanagement.co.uk. Like this article?

glyn1957 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I am the mate and Alan Ramage 4 EVA is correct as we are on the smaller size of pitch I always thought we would be better playing on a bigger pitch to open up the defence. It may have something to do with how Mel wants our style of play to be next season it may not also,but if it does I would welcome it there is nothing better than seeing a winger getting down that line . Like all the others on here I shall have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottrillRAM Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It would have been nicer to have a bigger pitch with Clement here, we could have dominated possesion and made the other team tire by constantly chasing the ball and then hit them in the second half!

Rampage Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Surely with a longer and wider pitch, it will be easier for some of our players to go missing. One or two have been difficult to locate on occasions already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk of small pieces of rubber causing cancer are probably ridiculously low. You'd have to ingest it or breathe in fumes of it when it was being burnt to significantly increase your risk of cancer. Car exhaust fumes are more likely to cause cancer, yet almost all of us choose to drive. Alcohol and cigarettes even more so. It's just fear mongering by trash tabloids, I don't believe a word of it any more than I believe that radiation from my mobile phone in my pocket causes my sperm to form abnormally (there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that it does).
