Am no gardener but surely the pitch is not going to be ready for the Wimbledon game, I would of thought the pompey game would also be at risk. Am assuming there will be rolls of turf there soon to lay as the seeding didn't take so speed Is of the essence now, long term it will be interesting to see how it holds up in the winter months if the aim is to play games on it in under a week. Seems to be the one thing at the club that's proving a real headache.

No need to worry, these guys know what they are doing. If they're good enough for Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City they're good enough for Eastleigh. Delivery tomorrow I understand.

No chance, Tony. Same base as before, just top 1"-3" new turf. Drainage was sorted on the South West corner, I believe.

I trust the club to know what they are doing. Leave it to the experts!

The pitch is nearly done and can be played on 24 hours after being laid so no worries!

We may have a pitch, but do we have the players?

That all didn't come cheap I wouldn't think. On the plus side all we have to do now is to win the National League and if the pitch has done its part in that it will have been worth every pound - or euro. I would guess there'd be no chance the club could get back the money spent on the failed seeding project.
