The only problem I have is that I am planning to watch the game on SATURDAY 14th Aug not a Tuesday

"When Lincoln City fans return to LNER Stadium on Tuesday, August 14, for home clash against Fleetwood Town, they will not notice a discernible difference in the playing surface."

That is quite revealing - especially this bit:

“Last year, with the rainfall we had, it was difficult to give the manager the pitch he wanted. He wanted to play quick, fast football but had a pitch which could only take 6mm of rainfall. Hopefully this year the pitch will be able to take up to 60mm of rainfall. Even if there was a bit of drizzle overnight, we knew the pitch was going to be flooded in the morning. A normal, up-to-date football pitch drains in a couple of hours but ours was taking four or five days to dry out."

Yeah, I was surprised at how little rain the pitch could take, not a wonder it was struggling with that much moisture in it.

 

[PerthImp]

Should notice the difference come winter.

That looks so much more balanced with Pooh Corner 2!

Pitch looks so nice I want to lick it. (I might have been reading too many of Notty's posts.)

a) It does, although the Selenity still looks like the football stand equivalent of Peter Crouch.

b) Filthy pervert.

About 1hr 47 mins the groundsman talks about preparing the pitch.
Puts my grass cutting regime to shame.
(Jules might be interested were in the Treaty a few minutes before)

I'll have to start sweeping the dew off my lawn before I cut it. Good tip, that.

After all of the temporary stand posts of the last three years, how long before people look to extend the St Andrews side - might work even if its not at full height, with a new roof on top.
Red seats in KK look so much better, hopefully they'll do the Selenity red throughout when they do the SW.

Time to get your pot plants down to Sincil Bank.

Wow, we really are investing in pitch technology for the next level. Judging by the last picture it seems to work pretty quickly on humans as well

 

[Scotimp]

We could stick Regan Poole under it for a few days - he might be tall enough to score with some of those headers then.

Only if his rhomboidal head grows to be vaguely spherical.

 

[PerthImp]

Perhaps the plan is to grow more monsters & beasts

A bit different to the days with the Cowleys training at the barracks
