Any update on when/if the 4G pitch and new floodlights are going to be installed at the ground?

Also the Teddington Town article makes clear the site is very restricted planning wise. You’re not going to get a 6,000 capacity stadium on that site.

Did you watch the interview with the brothers, around Christmas time?

I have lost track of what has been promised (dating back to the initial forum in November 2022). Is it happening for the 24/25 season ie floodlights and pitch?

Who wants to see us play on a plastic pitch, Yes maybe when it was a mudheap but now our surface is great. Just wish we’d pass the ball more instead of lumping it.

Yep, I would imagine 3G plans have been shelved. Perhaps floodlights too if the brothers are looking at alternate facilities.

I am beginning to think that nothing will be done about the 3G pitch, the floodlights or the other clubhouse work in this closed season. In addition it will take a few weeks to appoint a new manager who will have a major rebuilding job as many of the players especially the better ones have left.
Just hope my thinking is wrong!

Which two Italians would this be then?

They have got names.

I wish people would stop asking about the 3G pitch.

That question was more or less answered about five Months ago.

If people can't be bothered to do a bit of research, that is their problem.

Les was just reporting what he’d heard. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Who wants the 3G surface anyway? The pitch is fantastic now, the best it’s ever been.
