Bearintown Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 How much wider is the grass now? And of course how much wider are we going to mark out our pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfox Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hope it doesn't stop raining . Since it was seeded a few weeks ago , The same few volunteers have put in a lot of time and effort going down to the ground 2/3 times a day, 7 days a week, in this dry spell to water the Pitch , even after watching Town play on BP ,we were right over to DP moving the sprinkler system over to do another part of the Pitch ,If it hadn't been watered as often, you wouldn't be looking at pictures of the Pitch as above . So I think the Sprinkler team are due a well earned rest . keep raining for a few days at least !. UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocH Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 What was the width before as actually looks narrower now - must be an optical illusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route66 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The pitch looks very good considering the time scales involved hopefully the attendance this Sunday will surpass some of those at borough park.With reference to the reds,are the clubs still working together and with the reds shear number of games and vulnerability to waterlogging,is there a chance that football may still be played at derwent park sometime this season?

I would say no there wont be any football at DP this season, the board cant move the club even for one game without a shareholder vote. extensive work is starting on the BP pitch this week, there is a possibility we may ask reverse our 1st fixture to away.

Cumberland Sausage Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Very petty stance to take as Danny Grainger is very impressed with the playing surface at DP and wants his team to play Football on a good surface.If BP is not ready then to switch the 1st home game could be financially a big loss to the Club as I am sure you would get a big crowd at DP and the Sponsors facilities are far superior.A good few Town fans I know have said they would attend and the Novelty of Reds playing there might pull in quite a few of the floating fans that we usually see for Cup Games.

rockerlad Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I agree, but the directors would have to call an egm and have a shareholders vote, how much does that cost to send out the letters to everyone this is what was on the agenda at the egm back in March when ever it was, the board wanted to be able to move the Club for a period of no more than 8 games (without share holder approval) was rejected. the 3 biggest shareholders (dont live locally, one is a director at rangers I believe as well) rejected the proposal, the 2 largest (ibrox holdings) can out vote everyone combined.
