The newly re-seeded pitch at the Trade Recruitment Stadium is already forming a new green carpet over the reconstructed playing surface.

As reported earlier this week [article], the pitch needed work after the number of matches played on it by the first team and CRC last season and to prepare it for the same level of use next season.

The top 25mm of soil has been removed from the whole pitch and the surface has been reconstructed, while a further eight 80ml drains have been laid from end to end and seven miles of gravel bands have been added to replace the previous gravel bands that had broken up.

Having been reseeded last Tuesday, the new grass has responded well to the recent mixture of sunshine and showers, as you can see from the photographs.
