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.
