Pitch work delayed to start for two weeks
Where did you get that? Not doubting, just not seen. Also what do you mean, that it's 2 weeks behind schedule? I assume it's currently growing! I did see the pitch talk event has been postponed, just not the pitch delay! Edit: it's coming along - just looked at poveys twitter |

Yes it was posted on FB earlier about the delays, not sure how official the post was though. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Delays to what though - readyness?
I assume its not a "can't play second week" issue

Thanks! This is not expected to be an issue for the start of the season, with the first home game not until Cambridge United visit Wiltshire on August 9. |

I think the adver are now writing up Holloway's presser from Friday which he basically said he hasn't a pitch at the CG to use yet. In an idea word would have liked a home friendly. Looking at the pics Matt Povey post would suggest it's growing.

I’m assuming they have to do the stitching after the pitch has grown?

Looks like it I think we are using the SIS system and so https://www.sispitches.com/surface/hybrid-grass/Speed
The fastest hybrid grass installation on the market. We can transform a prepared pitch in as little as five days, even between matches. Our machines are constantly being developed to do the job quicker and more effectively than anyone.

Very much this. I think it's far too easy to look for the negatives these days. This is also an important position that has needed to be filled quickly, and we've done it.
Nahh, we should be 100% negative, 100% of the time. We should also jump on any attempt at lightening a mood as well, and just drag everyone into an unrelenting depressive state. As you say, it's one of the seemingly good moves that Town have done, in what should be a normal kind of process. We have become accustomed to some substandard practices under this regime, so it's refreshing to see a ''normal'' move. |

yeah, but: Cowling, who has owned the U's since 2006, said the prospective buyers had been "carefully and thoroughly evaluating the legal and financial responsibilities that come with owning the club".
So ..... |

TBF I suspect they have possibly been doing that for ages (albeit I really don't understand how the ownership model has operated as the board of directors seem to have very little if any engagement with the ultimate owner.), I wonder whether its more to try and make the fucker move as he could lose whatever he thinks its worth by the admin route? I also fear for them that there may be a degree of frying pan and fire going forward... |
