@Official_Kimber @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches It will have a good clean now the renovation are complete mate

[Chris Long @cslong14]

3rd and final day, good hour on the drag brush before applying some goodies to the surface before seeding , a few little bits for me and Charlie to complete but we are finished for the pitch, 26/27 season loading …

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@badgers_back @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches I wasn’t at the club for that part of the reconstruction a few years back but the general number is around 5%-8%

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@Gu35ty @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches It’s been there for a few years I think, just buried , I’m hoping it will give us a cleaner edge along the pitch

[Chris Long @cslong14]

Day 2….. more work to expose the kerb line around the pitch 🫩 some hand stitching on small areas that were damaged last year which we didn’t know about until yesterday! New centre sprinkler heads and 90t of dressing to replace what was removed yesterday 👍🏻 seed in tomorrow 🤞

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@Zigiclegend19 @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches Unfortunately not

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@simbadazman @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches Nothing spectacular! New goal nets and irrigation, a few things “in house” by myself and the team, the Renos were all done last year when I started so glad to be able to have a good understanding of the pitch from removing the old and growing a new one!

[Chris Long @cslong14]

First day of renovations at B9,💪
Double pass over with the koro removing the old surface, new perimeter sprinklers in place and the start of revealing an existing kerb edge around the perimeter

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@gree24008 @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches No patterns, and it wasn’t me that did the crest at Leicester

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@liamjjjames @FAWales Fantastic Liam 👏👏

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@NickGr1990 @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches No mate, will be the same size as last year

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@simbadazman @CharlieLucas44 @PremierPitches The kerb has been there for a few years, since the full reconstruction I think. Renovations were completed last year before I started and the kerb was left covered up. Doesn’t do anything for drainage, just allows us to keep the edge of the pitch neater from the blue carpet 👍🏻

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@SteveCookson1 Seed will be in the ground Wednesday/Thursday mate

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@Gu35ty @BloozEXTRA We are upgrading the irrigation system, which will be highly beneficial for us

[Chris Long @cslong14]

@gree24008 @BloozEXTRA Certainly is
