Pitch looks fabulous let’s hope it stays the course. Is the irrigation system remote from potable water supply or is it subject to water company temporary restrictions?
July 14, 2026 at 4:21 pm #323067I hope they are watering it. And I’m sure the hard work will Pay dividends.
Not sure why we’ve been hit with a blanket ban on the hosepipes from more or less the Thames to the Humber.
New pipeline from Elsham to Cambridge-Essex is ongoing so now everywhere will be so called balanced. That means we are hit with the same stick as everyone else down sarf.1 user thanked author for this post.

Commercial Exemption, Health and Safety, obviously can’t use hose pipes for other tasks like cleaning down seating and terracing, most bans are domestic property non essential tasks like watering a lawn that doesn’t need watering anyway and gardens although you can water with a watering can.

July 14, 2026 at 6:39 pm #323072I see, what I read was only games of national and international significance where exempt from the ban.
I have also now read the same as what you put.
So god knows lol.
Suppose its what question you ask tinternet.July 14, 2026 at 8:06 pm #323074As far as I’m aware hosepipe bans have always been about domestic supply it couldn’t be anything else if you think about it, plus Scunny aren’t watering their new pitch with a bloody hosepipe that’s for sure, honest it’s being watered and looked after.
July 14, 2026 at 9:28 pm #323075Looks great, just hope it doesn’t do what happened last season

July 15, 2026 at 4:51 pm #323094What do you normally pay?
July 15, 2026 at 7:21 pm #323106Nothing Deerey online, but sure a live showing would come at a cost.
July 15, 2026 at 11:40 pm #323123Just as a matter of interest how much did the new pitch cost ?
Who has paid for it ?July 15, 2026 at 11:45 pm #323125In a double benefit initiative I understand for a fiver a go you can have a slash on the pitch square you’ve bought.

Who has paid for it ?Reportedly a million quid ( shareholders meeting info I believe) and again reportedly £750,000 is covered by an EFL grant and the club is meant to stump up the other £250,000 quid. Now nothing concrete on all this has been forthcoming on the website I don’t think although others will correct me I’m sure if it has all been officially disclosed.
July 16, 2026 at 5:49 am #323130July 16, 2026 at 8:36 am #323135They may have raised funds but not handed the money over yet, the £100,000 target seems a long way off.

July 17, 2026 at 6:14 am #323176It’s rumoured they are having an open day on a Sunday where those with a square can view the grass between 10-11am for free, then 11-12pm it will be a pound.
It’s being dubbed “pitch and putt up”!
