I see they are putting down a Hybrid carpet pitch. Does anybody know what this is? Is it temporary or is it the finished product? Does hybrid mean part plastic part grass?

It’s permanent, a great move.
The club would like anyone with a watering can to help out in the hot dry weather. 🥵
On the face of it, this looks like a very positive approach. Does anyone know what level of work it represents based on the “Pounds for Pitches” fundraiser?
For a full-sized professional pitch, total installation ranges from £500,000 to £1.5 million, depending on drainage, shock-pad layers, and stadium specifications
Didn’t we get £750k grant on the proviso we put in £250k. The pictures certainly look like a lot of work is going into it. I’m guessing the carpet ‘takes root’? Or do we leave it loose to brush stuff under it?
“Pounds for the pitch” another failed effort looking at raising £100,000 they didn’t get to a quarter of the first target of £10,000, (there were 6) billy the squib never took off I’m afraid.
Their pitch squares faired better with over £13,000 raised so far.
Glad to see they’re going the right way with an hybrid.
The club need to make the most of it, get a premier league team to officially open it in a friendly after the world cup finishes, Hull city will do, go for the holy trinity and get the cods and Lincoln here as well.
Money to be made certainly more than the Weekender or the family day. Obviously class them all as category A games to pay for stewarding and policing.
