I saw it this morning and there is nothing much new to see, just more soil been planed off deeper than usual so it still looks like a beach.

Surely we need Alty TV to broadcast a continual live feed of the pitch redevelopment, rather in the style of those BBC Four Goes Slow programmes which comprised a two-hour real-time reindeer sleigh ride with Sami people filmed in Norway or a two-hour bus ride along the Swaledale valley in North Yorkshire?

Sounds like a plan Cult..

Don't think you'll get many takers at £9.99! 😉 😂😂

A webcam is all that is needed

I thought our final game of the season was an attempt to emulate that format....

Those videos of 'work in progress' are fantastic. They enhance whatever music you're listening to, and vice versa.
And the beauty of light and heavy plant in perfect harmony.
I have no idea of the science behind high water margin, "that's why it's called Moss Lane", the drains in 'that corner' or the fact that surplus water used to flow direct to the kegs in the cellar of Chequers.
So I take my hat of to those who do. And those who sanctioned sorting it out.
In the 2nd video the cravasses (presumably drainage related) are semi refilled by the very plant that created them. Beautiful.
What's being buried within? If Bitcoin exists, that's what it looks like.

We're currently filming a time-lapse of the whole ground works supported with some close-ups. Hope to release the first part over the weekend.

Good man.

I'm no drainage expert but I did use the type of pipe the man on the machine is using. Its laid into the channel (with a slight fall)and out to to an outlet (the deeper the channel the better) and then backfilled with fine stone. The pipe has thousands of tiny holes in it which allows water (sieved and cleaned somewhat by going through the stone) to percolate into the pipe and form a type of river bed within the pipe. Apparently it does take some time for the system to become effective as the water has to make its way to the pipe over time, but OMG it does work and work well. The amount of water which mine dispersed on a real wet day was literally like turning a tap on. But there needs to be a adequate outlet! SBL

But there needs to be a adequate outlet
We haven't had one of those since Jordan Hulme quit....
