Any comments on the state of the roots hall surface? Are you over there now

no im not mate, couldnt make it due to work. Im hearing the pitch doesnt look great, would assume this hot spell of weather wont help. However i was there last year for the ground clean up and the pitch was in bad state with lots of fox holes but actually ended up playing well.

Can’t upload a video but just got one from SZ’s very own Jack The Flag for you long term zone users.

He’s been down there and reports around 200 people have been and gone, superb effort seats cleaned all round and lots of other stuff. Club playing music while everyone is working away!

Superb effort all! Nice to see Jack involved as well

There are pics of the pitch all over social media, i have been posting nothing but positive pictures and videos all day. This one just happens to show that the pitch isn't great, i am hardly the first to point that out. If i wanted to post negative pics i could of filled a whole thread but i haven't.

It isn't bad, it is still a work in progress. It is still bedding in and growing. It looksvery flat and we have all seen 1000x worse.

At least we are only worrying about the state of the pitch. I cycled past the ground on my way home from work at around 08.30 and people were already hard at work on the outside. Thank-you to everyone involved.

Last season the picture was all about hope, this season it's about new beginnings!

Steve Walsh and his gang of merry men have finished painting the shop etc at the front of the ground. Absolutely fantastic guys and true Shrimpers.

glad that grotty cardboard cutout of Wayne Gray, Freddy and Benno from circa 2006 has finally gone, that was becoming a real eyesore
