    The self contained pump room poposed (temporary) was due to be installed commencing 19th May (according to the programme provided to the RBG) I doubt it could have been constructed assuming the order for the works was placed in late April, for installation by that time. It is proposed to be sited in the west car park close to dwellings so perhaps there has been objections. Just a thought.

    Don't think the company doing the work is British.

    It's Premier Pitches who are Sheffield based

    Dutch it is.

    Has the club considered setting up a webcam so we can all see the transformation or will there be a blog with pictures?

    At least you had the authentic Valley experience that the players dealt with this season. They should have charged an additional premium for that.

    Id love to play on the valley pitch now at least then I could blame the pitch for my 1st touch (2nd touch is normally a tackle anyway)

    Undersoil heating network in place when the new pitch is laid.

    Little frost throughout the year (as this year) then no problems.

    Forecast frost for three days prior to a home match then a simple 'phone call and mates rates for a few days.

    I would rather spend the Summer watching the grass grow at The Valley than lose sleep worrying about who we are going to sell and buy!
