LSV's pitch is a "GrassMaster" hybrid betwixt plastic fibres and true grass. Because it is relaid in the Summer months (when we go on our 'olidays), new grass has time to come through and make it the billiard table that it is.
Led to believe that Wakey's is a similar hybrid but, due to the redevelopment, the pitch was laid in late Autumn and so the grass had to wait for early spring to start doing its bit. This,early season, led to a lot of scuffed knees, elbows and hands, many complaints and many pitch inspections and bad press. The grass (judging by Bongser's weed laden garden) will have thriven now and there should be no issue.
Doubt Wakey have the dosh to relay the pitch annually, so it shouldn't be a problem again.
