[Washington]

Just been watching pitch cam. I will be amazed if that pitch is playable by August. They still haven't finished embedding the Desso fibres and there seems no sign of grass growing yet. I  know grass grows quick enough but to make it a strong playable surface surely takes time? They must have seeded as they are watering.

Don't panic !! It's not like they haven't had practice at installing these pitches and with fertilizer and controlled watering it will be fine by the start of the season. Living in a desert area we have to irrigate but the bloody stuff then needs mowing twice a week !!
 
I'm more worried if we will have enough players.  Every day I wake up and think there must be some sort of coach/player announcement and then I look on-line and there's feck all. Its like a groundhog day bad nightmare but then aside from Derby no bugger else has done much yet on transfers so then I calm down a bit.
