I went to the ground yesterday and was able to have a look at the new pitch. I was shocked to see it’s conditon with just over 2 weeks till the Liverpool game. Although it looks green from a distance on closer inspection it is more like a beach. There are lots and I mean lots of areas where there is no grass at all. Looks to me as if the seeds haven’t germinated in areas. I am no expert on pitches or lawns but I think we need plenty of rain and sun to help it’s growth. Poor grounds man must be working his socks off now.

We've got inbuilt sprinklers around the pitch.
Pitch will be fine for the Liverpool game.

The sprinklers were on yesterday I didn’t see the pitch but I would think it may have been dressed which does tend to make grass look a little bare in places until the grass grows through it. If there’s one thing that recovers very quickly it’s grass, keep watering and a bit of sun and it will be ready for the first game.

If it's anything like my lawn at the moment, he'll need a machete to cut it within a few days!

Looked at the pitch today, I think for the length of time its had it looks pretty good! Another two weeks and it will be fine, nice sunny warm weather forecast all next week so plenty water and it will be amazing. Great work by the one and only Bazza!!

Oh and I love the number of experts on Deva Chat, from top business executives who know every decision should be made a certain way, and now to a groundsman expert. Top effort.... I must remember to post any problems I have in life here and I will get good sound advice from an expert!

I saw Mike Barrow this week, ironically in Barrow. Honestly, you couldn't make it up!
Chester FC to the core and good at his job.

I can still see him now in my minds eye, running up and down at Wrectrum, trying to get the fans singing, top man.

Spoke with Mike before. He deserves enormous credit for the work he is putting in to try and get the pitch ready in time for the Liverpool friendly. Hopefully Mike will be helped with the weather too but we are fortunate to have him as our groundsman.
