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.

More than that as them down the road have a remarkably good pitch. Finances I guess!

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.
