Not watched this yet but came up on my recommended.
Watched that a couple of days ago, sounded like a sales pitch for his stash of peloton bikes Smiley

As its come from part of the playing budget I will put it here, the new pitch is looking pretty good already.

That does look to be a vast improvement albeit with no playing time yet.

Interesting tidbit in the Moonraker that of the 16 1st/2nd year scholars we have now (we're apparently recruiting more, having not offered many U16 contracts last season), three are goalkeepers. So getting at least one out makes sense.

It’ll be interesting to see how it holds up with the men’s and women’s team playing on it

Will be interesting to see over the winter time once we start with the heavy rain, how it looks, I'm sure the stitching will help but surely the real grass will bear the brunt of the playing time with the stitching helping to make it last longer, interesting to know what sort of maintenance this needs, and with the pitch being re-seeded every year, how this has an effect ?

Are there any other league teams that have their pitch stitched and play a similar number of games on it ?

There's been some rugby ground shares but I'm not sure that's directly comparable

Not even sure how many games the women play in a normal season

Yep
Really don’t see the point.

I get the odd game with a bumper crowd is good for them, but playing in an empty CG week in week out will be a bit pointless and and somewhat embarrassing.

What sort of crowds would they expect to get 100 - 200 maybe or am I doing them a disservice.
