I read that one of the first priorities of the ground improvement plans is laying a new pitch regardless of expense.

How about a scheme where fans or companies can sponsor a square yard or two?

Excellent idea

I wonder how much it cost Harrogate to get rid of their synthetic pitch. I bet with our underlying drainage issues you can multiply the figure fourfold.

It has to be done at some point though unless we're going to fit a roof

Alty pitch is 110 x 74 yards. £10 a square yard would raise £81,400.

For a tenner, even in these bloody hard times I am in.

[One Foot in the Grave]

Double it for me - £20 per square yard would raise over £162,000. £20 is less than the cost of admission to one game, plus a program and a pie.

anyone blobbing up for ten squares or more could get a signed bucket of mud from the golf road end.

[MadFrankie]

Variable costs per square would work. £10 for a mundane bit of midfield, £50 for a penalty spot, £100 for the spot where Clive Freeman hit his shot vs Chester etc.

[Hale Alty]

an added incentive would be being entered into a draw with the winner kicking off at the first pre-season game after the new pitch is installed. a bit like they used to do with celebrities at charity games.

A quick google states £ 200k for Harrogate to put down a new pitch , times four if it is that much takes it up to £800k .

the job at alty isnt just laying  a new pitch. it is putting in an adequate drainage system to prevent the build up of ground water that bedevils us whenever there is prolonged rain in the area.

I think we could go a little higher, maybe start at £10 gets you a Moss Lane Turf "print"

Donate £50 and get something like this that allows you to display it:


Donate £1000 as a business, and get a 60 minute X1 a side friendly against another local business - with a custom Alty kit with your sponsor on the front (16 x shirts £20 is £320). - 20 companies or 10 matches would be close to 15k (or 20k without the custom shirts).

The campaign could be called "Pitch in".

Sadly drainage isn't sexy; but the grass element is. So by commercializing the grass element, it would raise funds to create a better surface.
