One of the rights granted to a Freeman of Ipswich is to be allowed to graze sheep on Portman Road. Will the new plastic kill them? |  | | |

Norwich have had it for about 20 years. We were well behind on that side of things, unsurprisingly given our owner in that period. I think someone said all premier league and championship clubs already have such a pitch.
It's not that noticeably different to an untrained eye vs. a fully natural grass pitch but these hybrid pitches that have the synthetic grass within them are much harder wearing. I presume the irrigation side of it is also where a lot of the benefit is.
The ground staff did a good job last season really considering what they were working with as our pitch was shockingly bad. |
Suspect it’ll suit our style of play down to the ground . We’re making the pitch bigger too aren’t we.
This type of pitch was clearly wasted on “ them” lol ! | |

Depends on how it's set up then as there was a video showing a pitch being cut for the first time and it showed the fake clippings that came off and they explained it didn't effect the mower etc.
And why have you not taken any pictures.. poor show. |
The permavoid system under the pitch

Blimey we haven't gone cheap.
They've done some of the best and biggest pitches in the world
PSG. Madrid. Leicester. Which has been fantastic. |
And the Norwich training ground |  | | |

So what do you do when you want to grow the fake grass in the corners longer for a bit of hoofball? |
It's a system a bit like this, so you can just vary it

It will be made of all the past glories, the memories of great players who have trodden that hallowed ground, the knowledge that we have never been beaten on that ground by a European team and the understand that while Ipswich past is gone there is a uniqueness that will be woven into everything that comes after
It will also be made of the expectation of victories to come, of the dreams of fans gazing down from the stands and the hopes that what happens next will be a continuation of what we saw last season and the re-birth of new glories, a new uniqueness, a new Ipswich [Post edited 12 Jun 2023 10:41]

It will be green. |
Do pitches have to be green? Is it within the rules for a synthetic pitch to be blue? |  | | |

The pitch is turning green this morning , a 4m strip the length of the pitch is already in.
Looks impressive.
I’d upload a picture but have no idea how to do it 😂 |  | | |
