[StanSP]

Now just need the good players to play on it

Least they can have some fun with grass in the championship 

[420Hashish]

Are we allowed to have the fancy pitch in the Championship now?

I think so

[foxile5]

The highlight of the pitch was the Leicester crest design.

[Pliskin]

Hasn’t the head grounds person left? Or am I making that up?

According to Percy's article early in the week: Man City are after John Ledwidge, our Head Groundsman.

 

Our pitch was also recently awarded best in the Premier League!

I’m sure I read he’s actually gone? He is a Cov fan anyway I think! 

[Foxxed]

I was thinking of about the best things about last season. I've come up with 

 

1. The ground staff and pitch

2. Loaning out Hamza to get Championship experience

 

I honestly can't think of anything else.

Yeah gone to the City Group

 

"John Ledwidge, the head of sports turf and grounds who played a major role in the development of Leicester’s £100 million training ground, is also understood to be departing for Manchester City’s City Football Group."

Ed is head groundsman at Tigers now.

A fry cry from when Barry Hayles hit that looping "shot" last minute against Crystal Palace in what can only be described as a pitch I'd be happy to watch two women wrestle on naked.

I actually feel more disappointed about him leaving than some of the spineless players we have had to watch over the last 18 months.

 

At least John was at the top of his game, very highly thought of and seemed to care about standards.

 

Such a shame to see him go to that bunch of scheisters.

Ed went to The FA/St George's Park/Wembley a number of years ago but is now at Tigers. 

 

To be honest our Grounds team are a superb set up. 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

The seats really need sorting dont they, they're practically grey

[The Fox Covert]

Pitches were pitches forty years ago, rain or shine (but mostly rain). City v Southampton at Filbo.

According to my ads, he maybe needs to get some more seed down.
