That looks like the land of five stands on a good day

John Nelms was on Sky Sports News yesterday and described it as being like "jello"

Relaying turf... That will take a while to bed in i would have thought.

It does look like a much bigger area than I anticipated when I saw the original picture o' the damage.

I wonder if it's a case, they even got a surprise o' the extent o' the damage once they really got into it.

However, it looks like they are making sure it's going to be a thorough, professional, & permanent job.

Depends on what the weather does, the undersoil heating will help and with a wee bit of rain, it should only take a week or so to root.

Thanks for the pics. Just shows how bad the area was. Is it to do with the new under soul heating? I wonder how much it is costing to fix it. KT's wages for rest of season?

Any chance that the installation of the sprinkler system knackered the drainage?

We were also obsessed with having it on pre and HT in matches at start of season

Was thinking the installation of the sprinklers might have damaged field drains.

If so, perhaps we have some right to claim compo from the installers?

Alternatively, if it is proved that it was in fact Mixu's tears after the Derby, we should get in there ASAP with our compo claim- he might not be contactable in a couple of weeks!
