According to their messageboard people are sceptical about the £500,000 that has been reported. I wouldn't have thought replacing the top surface would cost anywhere near that (I could be wrong though), if it was a full base and pitch,drains etc then it would be more likely to be half a million. Maybe their club will announce the true figure spent on the new surface. Perhaps the £500k is what has been spent on the pitch in the last couple of years.The footy club stand to make a fair old bit from the Spurs cup tie,I would assume that will offset the costs in the pitch being relaid. At least Hornets can start their season on Monday night!

Isn't Spotland council-owned? Would've thought that, if they do, they'd be paying for a far chunk?

If I remember  right, it was owned jointly by the football club and the old hornets. When the old hornets went pop their Share was transferred to the RFL. The RFL then sold that Share to the football club with a quarantee for the rugby. Oh and I think the council have a small stake.

The new surface certainly suited Dewsbury going to be a tough season for some in the Championship
