not sure where to put this?, i thought it was a pretty cool vid tbh.

 

 

I've learned from this the pitch is made of several hundred layers of various sands and soils. Who knew.

Anyone else think they were just killing time shifting piles of sand around for a few days just so it looks like they did enough work to justify the no doubt massive bill?

Weird how they don’t seem to take up the old grass, just put sand and soil straight over the top.

I thought that at first but it's the speed, there is a turf removal machine scraping off the turf, but at that speed it just looks like it's laying sand. 

Edit, no you are right, it's just laying sand onto the old pitch.  My tablet has a clearer picture than my works computer screen which is weird.

I thought the same at first, that they were just taking it up bit by bit, but it does seem like they just put the sand straight over the top. I’m not a groundsmen by any means though, so perhaps that’s standard practice.
