I would have thought it was ideal weather for the heroic workers.....dry but chilly and a bit of sun.......easier for moving materials around without too much mess and dust.
I hope "our" turf over in Lincolnshire is being well looked after.
Worth considering the current fixture schedule once the pitch is in use again:
Sat 24/1 Truro
- Sun 1/2 Hornets v Workington Tue 3/2 Boreham Wood Sat 7/2 Carlisle Wed 11/2 Forest Green - Sun 15/2 Hornets v Keighley Tue 17/2 Scunthorpe Sat 21/2 Woking - Sun 22/2 Hornets v Hunslet
Sat 7/3 Boston - Sun 8/3 Hornets v Sheffield Eagles Sat 21/3 Tamworth - Sun 22/3 Hornets v Midlands Hurricanes - Sun 29/3 Hornets v Goole Vikings
So that’s 14 games in 65 days. 8 games over 22 days in February alone.
And that’s with the Southend and Brackley games still to rearrange. It’s hoped that conversations are already taking place with Hornets to support them playing at another venue if possible.

also 8 February is challenge cup third round with all super league teams drawn away so a fair chance Hornets will be at home then.
The weather gods have been kind to us, over the next two weeks the winter weather is as good as you're going to get when it comes to laying turf. Mild temperatures for January with showers around. I think we can count ourselves lucky and this time next week we will have a lush green pitch in place.

The levels of competent professionalism both within the club and by those contracted are a joy to behold
This, instead of blather such as "working very hard", or "heroics" is what gets the job done; the latter were part of the Bottomley mindset, hyperbole instead of substance
So 9 games in 22 days in February...if they beat the winners of Siddal v Waterhead.
Still hoping to hear Hornets will help out by moving games if possible, with support where required. It won’t help a new pitch having so many matches on it straight away.
If they did get through to play Wigan, financially it would be better to swap it to their ground as well.
