Anyway, this photo was taken yesterday. I'm sure you can use it to allay or exacerbate your concerns as you see fit.

That just confirms my concern, two-thirds of the playing surface being replaced and expecting it to "bed down" in 5 days is asking the impossible. The players will experience the new turf moving under pressure from them in play, a sure way to cop a leg injury - eg. knees, ankles etc.

Was thinking exactly that myself. How can the turf not shift under pressure on the surface underneath without meshing into it? Surely a recipe for leg / knee injuries when someone changes directions or stops suddenly.

Do you think Acres is selected to play?
Even if I knew I wouldn't put it out there. I can tell you however that one of our mid fielders is a trifle sore, and may miss.
No, he's fine. But unfortunately we had a little mishap today.

    Couldn't give a flying rats tossbag about your or anyone's SuperCoach team, but if
    Man Of is out it will make it pretty hard to win. He's that important IMHFO

    No Jack Steven in the team list but website says he is playing. List missing a few names. Still a mystery ...

    Did the playing surface contribute to Rooey's knee injury? Could have as Richo mentioned the new turf was a "little soft and the ball didn't bounce as normal." Trust the Club is looking into the possibility.
