Video just uploaded of the three-month process. Now we have to hope our players are good enough to grace it:

Absolutely bleddy fantastic.
A credit to all those at the club who participated, especially the brothers who financed it and the groundsman and his team.
I hope the players do it justice. There's been lots of negativity on here about them but I'm confident Stuart Maynard is going to come good and Jones and Jatta are going to be headliners.
It sure is a thang of beauty. Although I dread to think how often the quality of the pitch will get mentioned by us fans when the performances aren’t great or worse.
Any fresh looking pitch always reminds me of a scene from The Damned United.
Brian Clough walks alongside the grounds am and says he wants the pitch like a carpet… ‘Well you can’t effing train on it then.’
Classic.
Anyone remember the old Baseball Ground? When you stood at the front, the pitch was about two foot higher than your feet. Or it seemed that way as a kid.Quote:
