Is underway. Beyond the usual business, it looks as though there are some new drainage systems being installed which should hopefully help with postponements and its general condition next season. Looks like it’s being done by Botham’s Prestige who seem to be specialists in this sort of thing, working with Sheffs Weds and United, Barnsley, Rotherham and Donny amongst others.

I’m the sort of saddo who finds this kind of thing quite interesting…

Looks like the same principle as the drainage on a golf course, which makes sense as it’s grass !

You’re not alone! Love a bit of tractor watch. Interesting to hear a few times from JS and AP that they eventually want a 5g hybrid pitch.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

I see they say “there is tons of waste” I assume they’ve found few of our more useless players from years back!

Nothing new there; a good number of Mike Newell’s reprobates were no stranger to a hoe.

Hope they remember where the sprinkler system pipes are!

Makes a welcome change to the groundsman and his assistant with forks and rakes in the close season.

We should have a fantastic playing surface when we kick off the new season.

Please tell me there's a few weeks of #tractorwatch to come, might relieve the boredom..............in fact can we assemble a weekly highlights show presented by John Tondeur and Monty Don (to explain grass stuff) for mariners tv viewers?

There is no doubt that Lincoln have more and better tractors than we do.

They also use them to fetch their stranded fans home when they try to get to Blundell Park in bad weather.
