New State-of-the-art Pitch at The Valley
Comments

I think it looks as good as any new/re-done new pitch but the expectation is that it will stand up to the rigours of the men, women and U21s playing there better than before.
The dirty astro turf has gone and while the dug out are unchanged in size new seats are expected.
New parking spaces have been painted in the car park but some of the car park surfaces are even rougher than I remember.4 -
They still need to get on the roof and sort out the floodlights though

@Henry Irving...see you did ok from this picture...did you get the donations for the museum to cover the 59 extra likes ...I do hope so...🙄Henry Irving said:0 -
I bet the lock on the door of trap three in the first East Stand bogs still hasn’t been fixed. Will be the third season it’s been broken. I’ve reported it twice. Thinking of bringing along a new lock, some screws and a screwdriver and fixing it myself.Henry Irving said:8 -

Can you buy and install some new hand dryers while you're at it, thanks.5 -

the floodlight thing looks so shit, but suspect we’re getting to a point where the whole
system being replaced is cheaper0 -
I hope ours is better than Bromley's who only paid £750,000.
Stanton-Gleaves said all their promotion prize money had gone towards replacing the old artificial grass with a new hybrid turf pitch at Hayes Lane that complied with the EFL's regulations, costing £750,000.

Pics from the CAST Twitter - not the pitch but felt like they fit better here than opening a new thread since they are improvements to the ground and surrounding areas

First time seeing the new pitch yesterday and it does look good however there seemed to be a couple of rough patches down near the family stand.
Doesn't show up too well on the picture but considering there's hardly been any games on it yet was a bit surprised to see any ware at all.

Our stadium is so beautiful, it would be great to see it full again regularly.fat man on a moped said:First time seeing the new pitch yesterday and it does look good however there seemed to be a couple of rough patches down near the family stand.

Sat at the front of the North Lower and the pitch looked stunning, especially after being watered so it glistened in the sun.4

The current Sky advert does that 😉😆se9addick said:

The small strip between the pitch and the astro where the subs warm up was well and truely cut up by the end of the game. player do not seem to like running on the astro turf.

The team lineups on the big screen weren't very readable yesterday, the colour didn't stand out from the background4

white on red didn't really work, I thought it was time to get new glasses so Im glad it wasn't just me.killerandflash said:The team lineups on the big screen weren't very readable yesterday, the colour didn't stand out from the background2 -
Would be much easier to read if they went back to upper and lower case letters.Hal1x said:

Agree white on red just doesn't work and the same with the font used. There was an advert on the screen which had a nice font and used red font on a white background which was very readable.Hal1x said:

Seems to me the whole thing is designed by someone on a laptop which is fine when it's all readable in front of your eyes but viewing from the other side of the ground is extremely difficult.0 -
Aren’t the digital advertising boards old Oxford ones or some other guff club0

The screens look ok, someone just needs to look at the colours and font.oohaahmortimer said:Aren’t the digital advertising boards old Oxford ones or some other guff club0 -
I'm sure the directors will have noticed how illegible it was themselves, seeing that they have the perfect view of the screen from their area!MartinCAFC said:

It might be my imagination, but I think it doesn’t yet have the firmness that makes the ball bounce ‘normally’. On a few occasions so far the surface has seemed to me to be a bit ‘puddingy’.0

I thought it ripped up a bit more than I expected last week, what’s the make up 90% grass 10% Astro or whatever it is ?1
