Starting last Monday, the centre of the pitch has been completely replaced.
Work began to excavate a square covering the centre of the pitch, to a depth of 200mm, before the area was filled with sand.
Fresh turf was installed on top of the new material, followed by the area being restitched – the insertion of synthetic fibres – over the weekend.
On Wednesday, the pitch will be Dryjected, a process which assists in allowing any retained water the best possible chance of draining through.
A timeline of pictures can be found below, which details each stage of the work undertaken.
Get your first look at the new pitch on Tuesday evening, when we face Stoke City Under-21s. Click HERE for our preview of the game.
