Anyone notice all the soil stacked up behind the scratting shed, it seemed to run the full length of the Whinny Hill side. I wondered if they had run a drain down that side, behind the shed. Could possibly help soak up water running down the hill.

Tommy I took some pictures around the outside of the ground before the trip to Stevenage and I can comfirm from having a wet foot all day that there is a ditch running right behind the shed end. The coppice half even has reeds sticking out of it.

I wonder how much more that cost ? It should be free as the last one didn't work at all .

I believe in the region of £30k with the re-seeding as well.

no it was all the grass from the field, went down on bank holiday monday, and they had taken about 3 inches off, and there was a fresh pile at the back of the stand.
