pride of the west Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 @BristolCity: See you all tomorrow... https://twitter.com/BristolCity/status/1025426068784574464/video/1 Don't know if this has copied over but a latest tweet by the club looks as though the pitch is being dyed green?

Dollymarie Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 It’s half plastic anyway so that should mean it’s retained its green colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I don’t think so. We have meetings at the gate with my work at that tractor was out about 2 weeks ago doing the same thing - very slow and methodical in terms of turning and starting again. I would just presume quality grass feed spray - was not changing the colour of the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all the plastic was underneath near the grass roots with the grass woven in so the surface is all grass sort of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the science of desso but thought it was half and half, like stupidly expensive Astro turf with real grass seeded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Fair enough. It just looked as though the grass was changing to a more vibrant colour following the passing. Probably just a contrast in colour after the grass has gotten wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite true Dolly? The plastic (string) inserts are every 2cm in length and width directions. That is according to the Desso web site specification. At that density, there is surely a lot more grass than plastic. I accept that you may have better inside knowledge than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukneil Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I notice the term 'grass sods' at the end of that wiki piece. Is that a term recognised as describing a roll of grass in the UK? Never heard it before coming to Canada, where sod farms and the opportunity to buy sod are a plenty. In other 'amusing only in my own mind' differing meanings over here, there was also the first time my new in-laws invited me Cottaging for the weekend...
