I run my company solo. I take huge pride in what I do to achieve the best possible results with the resources I have.

@ben_kay8 Surprised Jamie carragher and Gary Neville are not having a running race in the background 🙄

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

No matches again this wknd. However pitch repaired and cleaned up from Tuesday nights match. Now for a few days rest before the next Match this coming Tuesday.

How to ruin a non league Fa cup live match……. Shitty plastic pitch, with shitty portable goals with wheels on.
And before the shitty plastic pitch lovers start boring me with the finances about my tweet. Do your homework. Rant over!

@haydnmorgan68 You speak good England when you was a school children.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Groundsmans porn. Suppose I best have a look round the Saltex show while I’m here too 😁.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

@haydnmorgan68 I’ll give you chins up!! Anyway ball bag it was a little bit of humour for a Monday morning. All good here 👌🏻

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Me Monday morning just repairing Hayden rd after this wknds 1st and u18s matches 😁 https://t.co/gE4LIQRXZl

Monday morning divoting. They joys of the weather turning and games rolling in thick and fast.
Todays about repair and prepare ready for tomorrow’s next game which see’s @RandHUFC back at home in the league.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Plenty of rain last couple of days. Pitch sprayed yesterday evening to help control the worms casting.
Morning prep today. Little soft on the surface but good to goo.
Good luck to @AFCRD and Tom and the lads.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

I feel like Ben Lord should be rocking up with a zimmer frame it’s been so long since @RandHUFC last played a home league match. Anyways pitch all prepped. Looking well considering the amount of games played on it since R&H last here. Feel like today is last of the good weather.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Not to shabby as we are about to roll in to October.
Worms becoming a bit to active for my liking. But considering the use the pitch has had I’ll settle for this.
Prep done today ahead of @AFCRD next home league match tomorrow.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Finally rolled in at 7pm this evening after instructing teams on warm ups. Great to get the boots off, get some food and chill down the bar watching some footy with a beer. (Miss’s is United fan. Not me) lol

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Been busy also covering ground with some other jobs to help out.
Not just a groundsman but cleaner (anyone who knows me knows I love cleaning) I’m not normal lol.
Repairs and tidying areas around ground.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Busy couple of days getting pitch round from wknd games and kids fun day.
Switched pattern back to normal wider bays.
Should be a few days rest for pitch but tonight another added fixture with Diamonds hosting Peterborough United u23s in a friendly. Pitch just holding in there

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Prepped and ready for @AFCRD first home league match.
Pitch looking tired in places with a run off home friendlies and kids summer soccer schools. Final week of them next week then some much needed rest and additional pitch works.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

She’s usually looking mint for first league game of the season. Bud sadly looking battered and bruised. 2 of 4 weeks of soccer schools and matches over the last two wknds is taking its toll.
Another two senior games on it this wknd and the weather is looking shocking 😩

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Pitch cut, marked and fed. Not ideal feeding day before a game. But with some rain about wknd and pitch getting lots of use over the next 4 weeks with friendlies and summer soccer schools.
I felt it needed a boost to give it every chance possible to handle the use better.

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Pitch took yesterdays rain well. Lines freshened up this morning and pitch set ahead of @AFCRD first home pre season friendly vs @LeightonTownFC

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

@liverpoolx5 Won’t be long. Goalmouths will soon be mud baths 😩

[MarkyP MDPGroundcare @MDPGroundcare]

Also completed lots of out of season jobs. Goal post maintenance. New nets and re adjusted net supports to new position. New corner sockets and poles. We also invested in some new hoses and sprinklers which work on timers. So allows us to monitor watering better.
