Swansea City are to rip up their pitch at Liberty Stadium, after the home game against Barnsley on Saturday 19th December.
They have found the playing surface has got worse over the last month, stating a serious disease had taken hold in the grass, & with the post-lockdown schedule & increased rainfall in October, had played a part in its demise.
They are going to re-lay the pitch entirely, with a hybrid turf pitch to the standard of the same quality, as at Spurs Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the next home game not until December 30th, it will give time for the pith to bed in.
Rugby club the Ospreys shares the ground with Swansea, which to me is not good for a pitch surface, but in the financial climate it seems it suits both clubs.
