JJB turf seen today

I know what you are all thinking but no, it comes in big rolls and then is laid lengthways.It is coming from near York where it started to be cut Mon and is continuing 24hrs till delivery is complete. About 25% is down and should all be there for the weekend. The pitch seems to have more of a crown than before but looks very good.

They were nothing to do with the topic of the thread. I have deleted them.

Don't know whether this is true or not. I heard they found 10000 out of date replica football shirts under the pitch. I wonder if someone was trying to get rid of some old stock.

How can Fiona Phillips comment? She stuggles to read off autocue!!!

That's far to slow they should have asked me to do it I did my back garden in 1 day and I had to turn the soil over!

They would have been put there to help the grass grow. Grass thrives on manure
