Strangely beguiling!

Hoping to see some football played on it this Saturday.

Excellent stuff. Deserving of great football. No more pearls to pigs, thank you very much.

Only watched on a phone, but what were those shoe boxes that laid the turf?

Great video.  I too wondered about the boxes they looked like shelter for workforce or tender turf. It was very hot during the relaying period. As regards the performance of the pitch I think the ball seems to drag on it but at the end of the day it’s the same for both teams.

UV grow lighting?

That is ace. I am a nerd.

Thanks for that. It was more interesting to watch than most of the first team matches over the last few seasons.

I liked all the muck spreading!

Looked like enormous fun at that speed.

I guess they are the machines that 'sew' in the artificial threads into it - I'm sure it's a grass pitch with artificial threads to hold it together.

It definitely used to be.

Does anyone know how long that actually took?
