New Pitch?
- Thread starter Argylegames
- Start date
Argylegames has nailed it already, but just to put in very simple terms for RG...
There was no shortening or narrowing of the grass when Derek Adams changed the pitch markings. The astro turf was there before, it used to be right next to the white line for the benefit of linesmen and now you can see the white line is a yard inside that astro turf.
Literally the only result of Adams' change was the white lines on the pitch, NOTHING HAPPENED to the grass or astro turf.

I do remember watching Argyle in the 50s and my Dad always said the pitch was maximum size and was one of about 3 to be that size. However we did use wingers in those days.
Sorry, Mr Gillingham. I was obviously wrong to doubt your experience in these matters, and therefore I am reassured by what you have to say. Apologies once again.

Does anybody know from this image whether the corner D is going to be where it looks like it's going to be? Or do I have the nightmare of the white lines going along the edge of the brown bit of the picture?

Again, does anybody know where the white line is going to be in relation to this picture? There an awful lot of acreage between the light brown edge and the fence. Please tell me this isn't going to be wasted.

Those pictures were taken before the work was finished. The turf has now been stripped back to where it meets the astroturf and will no doubt be re-seeded as it has been every year to that point.
Whether or not the touchline gets painted along that edge, or slightly in from it as Derek instructed, will not be know until the grass has grown and a new manager is in place I would imagine.

I thought where the white lines are in that pic was a nightmare, after Derek Adams mutilated the... errrr.... pitch markings. Now you'd be quite happy with them where they are?
As Tonsk says though, that picture just shows the incomplete work.
You obviously weren't watching the top being ground off just before the ABBA concert then. Many many dumper-loads removed before they came back on Monday with a lot of new topping.Lgm":ayqnyolb said:
It looks like the pitch is being widened. There is a JCB digging up the carpet along the Mayflower side
