For some grounds that dry well and outfields are passable they might find they can start their preseason rolling this week . But remember patience as rolling too soon in unsuitable conditions can do more harm than good . Grounds Management Association Toolkit:-

Really saddened/frustrated to inform that the club has been broken into & a number of machinery items stolen.
The incident was last Thursday/Friday.
Thieves gained access despite numerous security measures in place.
If anyone saw anything suspicious last week, please contact.

1/2 ' rain,2 ts, 1 bcd,all in a weeks work @ #gtfc as the old lady of @efl gets ready to host yet another big game, holding up well considering the conditions.

So many turfies in the industry feeling the weight of months and months of wet weather.
Doesn't matter what your Winter sport the condition of the playing surface will understandably be suffering!
So please show some respect and understanding for your grounds team it isn't easy.

Final prep @ #gtfc for the big derby game, another 2 inches of rain this week absorbed well by the surface, soft in areas, but otherwise holding up well in this ridiculously wet winter!

A great opportunity to spend the day with industry experts, including a current @efl head groundsman 🤔!
These courses always deliver a new technique or process & provide excellent cpd!
