The pitch is in need of a full restoration. It hasn't had a full restoration since being first put in. It has had SIS renovation but that is not a full Reno. That involves taking out around 300 mm of soil or more replacing the soil ,replacing the SiS ,no doubt upgrading the undersoil heating including water system to a reclaim system reseeding fertiliser and further ground care all in the small window of close season. This costs ££££££££££ we have (still) to watch the pennies. When finances allow it will be back to one of the best surfaces in the country. The ground team to a tremendous job to maintain the best surface they can given the financial and climatic conditions that face them.

Forest spent an absolute shed load in the last close season with a full deep renovation including new drainage throughout. Our pitch is now past its sell by date and probably needs a FULL renovation and likely has not been done since it's initial instalation however this is extremely expensive I would think other matters are a priority atm.
