Ibrox Pitch progress?

[LetsGo]

Thise white covers are clearly a weed membrane that we will lay our new AstroTurf pitch over.

Can't believe we've turned into killie and livi - Gerrard will not be having this.

What are the pits for @HumpZ ? Sunken media?

It is getting filled with sand for McGregor to practice the long jump when he is bored when we are camped in the opposition half for most of the game.

 

[LoganBear]

Is the pitch considerably lower now? Looks like it could be a few feet down from the pictures provided.

What makes you say that mate?

it looks the same as last season to me.

No mate.

 

[EKblue]

Boise State Broncos in Idaho have the right colour of playing surface! Albertsons stadium

I actually visited this stadium 2 years ago the Orange and the blue looked fantastic

 

[Barry]

What makes you say that mate?

It must be the lack of advertising boards that is throwing me and making it look lower in my eyes.

Union Bears ( Sniper Division )

 

[Sakala]

I don't see any pits....

Think he’s asking what the large hole is..

 

[Jose Calypso]

Bo

That’s the access to the water supply from the Ibrox Church mate.

 

[LoganBear]

What are the pits for @HumpZ ? Sunken media?

is this from behind one of the goals or is behind the main stand?

Looks like broomloan side from my deductions?

 

[Calum 588]

Are they not where the triangle boards would have sat on?

I was sitting in the Copland stand last week and there are 2 of these pits there. Either side of the penalty box.

 

[The Golden God]

So all this rain, does that help it ?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

What are the pits for @HumpZ ? Sunken media?

They've not even got the cellophane off it yet!

 

[Thomson1]

@HumpZ

just out of curiosity are you the groundsman that was in the Rangers store a few days before trophy day buying the navy 55 bucket hats?

 

[Terry Monroe 8&1/4]

Earlier today.

Covering the sash design

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Ha ha, yeah I’d love a go. Probably burn the place to the ground right enough, not much of a ‘handyman’.

Have a trial go at the piggery first.

 

[dbear]

the pits aren't real.....

the pits aren’t real.

 

[dbear]

From the front row of the Broomloan Rear. Maybe about BR3

 

[Jose Calypso]

the pits aren't real.....

I saw them with my own eyes last week mate.

 

[a_weir]

What are the pits for @HumpZ ? Sunken media?

Thats drainage access, is it not? Probably under the AstroTurf that surrounds the pitch.

 

[CoopBlue]

Covering the sash design

King Billy and his white horse have been stitched into the turf.

Alan Titchmarsh is doing the big reveal in a few weeks. But keep it quiet for now

 

[Jose Calypso]

you're tripping mate

Your at it.

 

[Jose Calypso]

you're tripping mate

I was working in Ibrox mon-fri last week and each day we had our lunch out in the stand.

That rectangle pit type this was there at the Copland end.

 

[Jose Calypso]

So it was you lot that kept leaving your rubbish behind and it was blowing onto the pitch. it nearly got stitched into the pitch at one point!

No rubbish from a salad or rolls in a Tupperware dish

 

[RfcIbrox]

Those are Timpits but we’re not allowed to say much more than that.

 

[Captain Gough]

What are the pits for @HumpZ ? Sunken media?

Access to the secret lounge.

Aye mate

Nice one mate. Good photo's. It's coming on nicely.

 

[Teddy bear]

The photos actually make the pitch look far better than it is tbf haha.

 

[Del]

Was looking pretty good this evening. Still a long way to go but I was amazed with the progress.

Covers now off and looks like it could be doing with its first cut shortly.

 

[rupertdabear]

4g looking well

 

[GR82]

 

[cloodie]

You can just make out @HumpZ in there as well

 

[Mview83]

First cut might be back end of this week. depends on how it goes. It's on target though

Forecast looking warm / sunny / dry for the week which will help I’d think also

 

[niloC]

Not a fan of the yellowy-gold line round the edges. Might look better in the flesh though so I'll hang fire before throwing a hissy fit.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

From the other thread:

I think it might just be the edges bedding in, although couldn't get close enough to see for sure.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Cheers for sharing OP

 

[BlueHaze]

Looking forward to seeing it from the Club Deck.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Not a fan of the yellowy-gold line round the edges. Might look better in the flesh though so I'll hang fire before throwing a hissy fit.

The clouds don't look white enough for me, that's my only gripe.

Might look whiter in the flesh though so i'll reserve judgement.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

On target for it to be where you’d like it to be for the first game, @HumpZ ?

Also, will this new pitch mean it should hold up and look better when the inevitable horrible weather comes?

 

[Struths Canary]

The pitch has been a big concern over recent seasons, so I am delighted we have taken the action to ensure it will be in the best possible condition all season.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

It’s the gold theme for 150.

Gold nets next.

 

[Sasquatch]

I was in for a meal yesterday...

It's sand round the pitch. They appear to be laying new astro.

 

[amo4]

Coming along nicely by the looks of it

 

[Geerfc19]

Dunno if I like the green pitch
