6” snow on the surface 12 hours before & back in action past night at the ESZ. An amazing natural draining profile.

@joalhe1997 @exetercity1904 Exeter should be on the box! TNT selection lacks imagination!

An early rise on behalf of Derbyshire FA for yet another milestone moment as it’s a visit to Cavendish Park Matlock for FA PitchPower pitch inspection number 600!

@jsvickery Cannot knock the effort today. Just lacking quality at key moments of play.

A visit to SJP tonight for England’s most important Derby game & the pleasure of catching up with the legendary groundsman Chaz once again. Pitch is looking good after all the rain! ⚽️
