Ground Levelling
Have the contracters started work on levelling the surface of the Fraser Eagle Stadium. I seem to remember the starting date being the 30- April.
Any photographs yet Kippax.

If they can work wonders with the FES then they might enjoy the challenge of a wonky jungle.......... one can be wishful thinking

Re: Ground Levelling
To be honest, you couldn't really expect the pitch to be totally levelled. If you were to raise the Coppice end to the same height as the Clayton end, the pitch would be halfway up the terrace and capacity would fall.

Good job Clitheroe aren't levelling their pitch then. It would be level with the roof of the main stand!

I would have expected a bit more work than that for the 6 figure sum quoted in the local papers, must be more to do later.
