This season Eastleigh FC have spent a very large sum on the pitch to ensure it is of the best possible quality for the coming season.
They have identified they "final piece of the jigsaw" as an Amazone Horse Hopper 1500 - a machine which removes moisture from the pitch.
TSSC have donated £1,000 to the cost of this, a significant contribution, both TSSC and Eastleigh FC are hopeful this machine (as well as other work done on the playing surface) will make the difference for the coming season. |

Does this machine repair goal mouths as at present ours are in a bad state for this time year, a bit of an embarrassment with the fun day Saturday.

Wonderful! So TSSC donated £1,000 towards a machine that's going to help a pitch that's not even in a condition to help

As I understand it (we were given some information from the club about this - though I am no expert) this machine is for the bulk of the pitch and not specifically areas like the goalmouths which take the most wear.
I would hazard a guess they would be reseeded/re turfed.
First home friendly is in 2 1/2 weeks time so presumably there is a plan of action in place!

Absolutely Rendel. I think the expenditure and extra man power, machinery that has been invested in will see an improved playing surface. We have not bothered with the goal mouths as we are planning to just shoot from outside the area next season!!!
