RedM Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 14 hours ago, You Do The Dziekanowski said: It was always the plan to replace it this season. Hence only the one concert being held at AG this year. The planning of hosting these events takes well over a year, with tickets going on sale about 6/8 months prior. Therefore, planning the events would be happening now for next season and ultimately the planning for the events this year would have been done at the end of 21/22 season. Only booking the one at the end of May means it was always the plan to have it redone. The fact the pitch looked crap at times this season, was in essence good timing. You are mostly right. Although it was never the intention to just have one concert, why would they as putting in all the extra stuff isn't cost effective for one. But for various reasons one was all that could be secured.

I wonder what the pitch is looking like at the Memorial at present. No doubt, they will get around to it at some stage, and then have to drive lorries across it to build the prefab stand in record time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippycar Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) For all Windows users, right click and select "open link in new tab" A new tab will open with the picture you selected. A right pain, as you have to do this for each picture. Amazed that what looks like a fully turfed pitch is only 5% of what will eventually be the finished product. It looks like they apply a mixture of soil and seed over the top of the "astro turf" Edited June 23, 2023 by zippycar spelling and additional words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
