To me it looks yellow in massive sections, no doubt where the undersoil heating pipes are located? We should be having a nice plastic pitch like Widnes. Grass is so last year.

I'm guessing that you already know there is no undersoil heating and you're taking the pee???? In fact there is no under soil, just sand.

No, it really did look really streaky and yellow on previous pictures. But looking at those posted today it does look carpet-esque. I suppose with it benig new it will look great when it's been raining a bit and a bit weak when it's sunny.

Behind both set of sticks is standing for the chavs and the hooligans. Down both sides is seated for the civilized folk.

Do you think they may actually put the same fake grass down like Widnes?

I doubt it unless there is a horticultural reason for doing so. It's a brand new facility and we have a world class training facility, which Widnes clearly don't as they plan to train on their pitch as well.

this was rumoured well more than a rumour a couple of months back, its the sports ground along from the Albion, it belonged to one of the big firms in Widnes, something on the style of Ruskin drive.
