Thanks for the update ATV!
The "San Scrappo" will be brilliant for the team next season. 🤗

That was a lovely video to watch.

One question, does all the excess water flow down to that drain by the pop / chequers end corner?

I'm off to watch it again...

Think it must do. I wonder whether they will be putting a receiver tank and outflow pump or if it will be just gravity?

As far as I could tell, the equipment which lays the pipe (I’m sure it has a name) is linked with a theodolite in the main stand. The drains and are then laid to falls in 2 directions, the main drain from Golf Road down to deepest at Chequers and from highest at the main stand side to the Popular side. In effect it’s on a sloping plane from the corner at the Golf Road snack bar down to the lowest part at the corner of the pop and chequers end.

That should move all the water away from the boggy golf road / pop corner.

Anyone else think of the Benny hill music during the time lapse film?

Or was that just me?

Bonus points duly awarded to Alty TV for the use of the noun 'theodolite', which is surely a first for this forum.

I think your getting confused with Macclesfield being home to Troglodytes. ☺
