NO LINE MARKINGS OR POSTS UP YET BUT THIS WILL HAPPEN NEXT WEEK.GRASS IS THICK AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF EFFORT HAS BEEN PUT IN..ONCE WE PLAY OUR FIRST HOME GAME TIME WILL TELL BUT AS IT STANDS AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS VERY GOOD.....

This weather will be testing it to the limit. The flanks are the problem and only by standing on the grass on the flanks can you tell, I'd guess. If your feet start to disappear into the sod then sod it, back to square one!

I WALKED ALONG TO THE HALFWAY LINE AND THE FLANKS LOOKED GOOD. GONE IS ALL THE SAND AND MUD FROM LAST SEASON AND CONSIDERING THE WEATHER WE HAVE BEEN HAVING IT WAS QUITE FIRM.THE GRASS IS LOOKING THICK AND LUSH AND IT WILL BE A SHAM TO PLAY ON IT. I THINK IT WILL BE CUT BEFORE THE WEEKENDS GAME TO SPEED UP THE GAME SO WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.......ps NOT SHAW IF IT WAS LEVELLED AT THE FAR END AS IN THE GOAL AREA THERE WAS A RAISED BIT..
