    I cannot recall where I heard it but there was talk of them laying the new pitch over the existing one.

    to be honest that doesn’t look much different to behind the goals at Harrogate now.

    my point was the amount of improvement is much the same

    Yes, and the one you posted of the Bradford End is totally different to the current Bradford End. Both have changed massively.

    @Bigrod@Bigrod - notice the "mud diamond" , every club, every season and still we managed to play on it. I know we've moved om but it makes the VP pitch of the last few years look almost billiard table green and smooth/ Love it.

    The picture is from 1975. Thing is that it was very bad in the centre although to the Bradford End, the corner bits look reasonable. At present the area between the Kop goal-NW Corner extending a third of the pitch is arguably worse than that picture.

    Thats what they've done .
    They have dug trenches for drainage and sprinkler system but largely the 4g is still there 20200815_080746.jpg 20200815_080746.jpg 20200815_080735.jpg

    Going to have a proper yorkshire derby again this season.
    For the right to be the worse yorkshire club in the professional leagues.

    Bet you cant wait.

    How strange.At around £500.000 for a new 4g pitch,you would have thought they would have lifted it for 're-sale.
