Just read that we can turn up tomorrow at 11am and get some of the turf prior to it being ripped up. Must not be feasible for the club to get it professionally rolled up and sold.

Need your own spade btw

So with the pitch they are pulling it up does that mean we will have our all singing all dancing new pitch down for next season

Chuffin hope so or the North stand will be the least of our worries

If not, it will be renamed as per Doncaster's old ground, Tattersfield

I think I'll have a piece of that history.

Yes, JM is on record saying, the new pitch will be laid in the off season, it is a hybrid pitch of 90% grass and a synthetic underlay, with new drainage and irrigation systems.
When I left the Rollin shack after today’s Friday lunch, I noticed two very large piles o sand in the car park the players use, I was told by another chap who was there that the sand was to be used as part of bedding for the new pitch. That’s quite plausible to me.

I've heard that the sand was for the players, buckets and spades at the ready.

You might have to negotiate Bathy with his shotgun

Got my bit of pitch.
No idea what I'm going to do with it.

But there are some major diggers and trucks waiting to dig it up. Won't be long with that lot.

Shared a pleasant morning with a good turn out of fans. Had the opportunity to try out that new seating in front of the hospitality block which I must say is pretty decent under the sunshine. Another chance to chat and say thanks to the guys who are leaving too.
Then we got let loose onto the pitch. I got a couple of strips of turf and have already laid them into my back lawn.

Peed off big time!!
Been waiting years for this opportunity and it comes along when I’m on holiday.

Even the pitch is upping and leaving along with the players.

The Facebook page will be in absolute meltdown
