I know there has been much discussion about this. I see another Liverpool Women game has been postponed. I can see us losing their income next season unless the pitch is fixed in the summer.

Perhaps Liverpool need to make a greater financial contribution to Rovers, given that excessive use of the pitch by their team has exacerbated the problems ?

Their women's team is also based at our Championship standard training facility, so they get plenty of value from their deal with Rovers.

Where has the figure of £700k come from?

Also, from the club statement I thought that a major overhaul was already planned for this Summer - and that was before we knew we had the cup money? If it had already been budgeted then the cup money would have been additional. Of course, the work necessary may need to be more than was planned but that hasn't been communicated, I don't think.

seems the drainage situation is the main bugbear which impacts on the state of the pitch

when you think we spent if you now include the proposed 3G pitch . we will have spent £3m or some thin like it . they are spending around £750m on there,s only a small difference

And even better the pitch is a Desso style pitch so should be better even if there is a lot of rain as it will cut up less.

I'd like to see what the new pitch looks like. I haven't seen any pictures from the club.

It’s going to be like night and day with the new pitch although I think it’s currently growing so might take a few weeks until we see some nice photos coming from the club. The video they posted on Twitter is a good one.
