Summer Work ?

Just wondered what projects are taking place over the summer months -
I’m presuming the pitch may have some attention despite it looking terrific all last season, well done Gareth and co, and no doubt Ian and the GMA gang will be working their usual magic over the next few weeks. Some people have mentioned on here that some jobs may prevent us having a lot of home pre-season games. Wondered what that was.

Good point - what is happening to the pitch - I thought it looked in really good fettle at the end of the season

Levelling up then seeding?
Season starts end of July
Guess we won't be having any home pre season friendlies?

We’ll definitely be busy, as I posted on the GMA topic. If anyone would like to help us out over the summer we’d love to hear off you. We already had a decent sized list - which grew very rapidly after the club gave us theirs.
As always there are, & will be jobs for any age, male, female, skilled, unskilled or just anyone willing to muck in with anything from litter picking to painting. Wether it’s one morning or becoming a regular…it all helps and saves the club a lot of money as we are totally self funding, plus being helped with some very generous donations from people like the NSC & our main sponsor.

IF you saw any of the photos of Wild at the ground on Friday you would clearly have seen the pitch had already been stripped then

Regarding the new seating requirement.
Do these seats not have to be in place before the end of the current season?The reason I am asking the question is because it would make sense to do it whilst the pitch is stripped back to avoid doing it in the future and damaging the pitch.
I would also like to know if this is not done is there a danger we could be kicked out of the EFL?
