Hope we have learnt lessons from the last time a new pitch was laid.

Just passed by on my way to buy season tickets. Lots of sand and soil everywhere. A little under two months to start of season. Fixtures out on 7th July.

Encouragement can be taken from the fact that inchcapes have just started work on Aldershots pitch; "Koroing the pitch, spreading sports sand, cultivating, preparation and seeding of the pitch" and Aldershots first game is a week before us!

Been good to follow the pitch progress, seems all went well and now just waiting for the grass to start coming through, am no expert, hopefully bang on time for the 28th aug. Will be so nice if it alleviates the problems of before, a fitting surface in a hopefully progressing stadium. Well done to all concerned.

Popped down to the ground to take a look. Incredible how quickly that grass is growing. Groundsman said the first cut will probably take place this Thursday.

I went past yesterday and saw thrugh the fence, it all looked quite encouraging. If anything perhaps it is even ahead of schedule?
I note we currently have a gap between August 7- August 28 with no games scheduled, so perhaps we will be looking to add to that, with even the possibility of a game at the silverlake before the big kick off on August 28th.

I also went down to have a look at the pitch and bumped into Dan. I don't think there will be any problems with drainage this season from what I've been told, the amount of water the pitch can take now is incredible . Can't wate to see the team run out for the first game. What a great job everyone has done.
