It's a shame there was no question about the pitch in the recent Q and A session.

You and me both Reg. Watching this situation very closely.

Silly question perhaps: Is Mr Cassidy a regular poster on here?

No...

Good to see that the funds seem to be in place to take up the pitch again this year.

Very good news.

I can't see any concerts going ahead on a freshly seeded pitch, I guess that money-spinning plan is shelved...

That's because it's being flogged off to Blackford's....

I expect it does not cost much to re-seed the pitch its all the drainage etc that was put in a few seasons ag othat was the real cost, I expect this is standard low cost maintenance

Yeah, plus I heard they got the grass seed cheap because it fell off the back of the truck.

And they're cutting corners by mixing it with those free seed testers you get at the garden centre.

I like the idea of the CG being turned into a wildflower meadow, for the close season. Bale up some hay, early August and a bit of pocket money for the groundstaff.

Its too late for the cowslips now, nice one Jed.

Let's just go whole hog and replant with oilseed rape/sugar beet during close season. They're one of the few crops farmers make money on apparently.

We're a rural club after all...

I've heard rumours that we're being offloaded to the scum...

They could finally get the 4th end of wallflowers

I was always taken by the way Eastville had flower beds behind the goal, in front of the Curval Sud.
