Informative watch. Good to hear from the people doing it with a detailed explanation.
Better than the amateur experts making assumptions!
A lot of work involved in this, it sounds like the pitch will be fully completed over the summer but fit for purpose from the end of January. I'm assuming there will be a contingency plan in place should we have a lot of snow in January and the contractors don't hit the finishing date. It is what it is, there has obviously been a lot of planning gone into this, some things are out of our control though and extreme weather such as the Beast from the East is one of them. It's a difficult situation for everybody involved with the club but the end result will be worth it. The pitch consultants are OBI sports, recognised as world leaders when it comes to this sort of stuff.The Ogdens are doing this properly, we're very lucky.
Bromley took 100 days in the Summer to get the new grass pitch ready for League 2 football.
OBI have agreed to have a playable pitch with new drains in 45 days in Winter, with followup procedures in the Summer.
If they can pull this off they deserve a medal.
Bromleys pitch wasn't already fully grown like ours i don't think. There was also consultation and planning encompassed in that 100 days. It sounds like they are confident of completing the job unless bad snow and frosts set in. Irrespective of what happens this season we are going to end up with a fabulous new pitch, something that we could only dream about eighteen months ago. It's been a great first half to the season and the pitch would have needed doing in six months time anyway. Two games at Accrington is a small price to pay as fans, although i accept it's a difficult situation for some.
The worse case scenario that i can see this season is a brand new pitch installed and finishing in a play off place. I think we would have all settled for that at the start of the season. It could even be better than that, staying positive and not feeling sorry for ourselves is key.

Why? If they've said they can do it, it'll be based on a hard-headed assessment. Perhaps the Bromley pitch wasn't the only one OBI were working on during the summer months - would be surprising if it was - and therefore their equipment and manpower was spread more thinly. They're not "heroes" ffs but a business

Good luck to them

If they can pull this off in half the time it will be absolutely heroic. I believe we are witnessing a christmas miracle!

Sorry, but that's just bollocks
It's been planned for, carefully assessed by our owners. Don't do them the injustice of having us undertake something that might not work but for some kind of miracle. They're better than that

It may have been well planned but it will be the heroic actions that ensure the job gets done. If it was 100 day budget, only heroes chop it in half. I wonder if they wear their capes at work.
