Antman Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 in the webcam pictures its obviously been reseeded, as it was down to just brown nothingness for a while. does this mean the Desso machines need to come back in and re implant the nylon tufts again? if the existing stuff stayed in place it would have showed up green surely?

Avalonred Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 They removed the sand/soil/dead grass and put down new sand with fertiliser and then reseeded..... The green you can see IS the Desso fibres. They'll need to come and put new Desso down when they extend the pitch but the rest is still ok.

Portland Bill Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Its obvious they're trying to improve the surface so cricket can be played at AG too. I'm pretty sure a cricket match was played on the pitch,I can't remember the year and who played though! But I'm 99% sure it happened in the last 30 years.

Slippin cider Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 That's why the pitch is being widened by 15m. Moving 8m towards the old Williams stand apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Don't forget about the speedway as well and the rollercoaster round the roof structure. the only thing that concerns me will be when it gets used for showjumping. will they be able to identify local gas just going for a punch up?
