Another brown topping (sand) going on. Just 25 days left to replace it with the green stuff.

Re: New pitch for Ospreys game
It looks like we are going for a brown version of Roland Garros's clay court. They are working on it at the moment.
Will the club be asking for volunteers to paint it green?

Simon Cohen tweeted that the turf would be ready to lay in two weeks time, after being prepared elsewhere.

The increase in shirt sponsers has allowed us to use extra funds for a new pitch
and/or
Another team was going to use this (Prob a football pitch) but had to cancel meaning we might have gotten this cheaper.

I have a roller and green paint, but with it being prepared elsewhere, someone is doing it cheaper!Tigerbeat wrote:BowdenTiger, have you got any time on your hands?

Being grown in Wales especially for the Ospreys match so they will have some "Green Green grass from home" Angus McCoatup!

Re: New pitch for Ospreys game
Can't remember where I saw it and have had a good look round, but I am sure that Simon Cohen said in an interview that when Tigers got chosen for the Granby Halls site, the multi-storey car park had to be put on the back burner. However this released some money for the new pitch.RagingBull wrote:Eitherjgriffin wrote:Sometimes is really useful......does make you think about exactly HOW this all came about.
