It's all being done this summer. Part of the terms and conditions for us to retain our listed building status for the Rangers End. :thumbsup:
With the final tier on the main stand being added next summer :thumbsup:
This is a myth as the weight would compromise the Vatican tunnel below.

The Vatican are paying for that. The Pope got the bill about 20 mins before he met Trump, that's why he was so glum.

Saw a picture of the turf completely ripped out with excavators and huge mounds of soil.

Seems like the club arent messing about.

Given the excavators, is the undersoil heating/drainage also being replaced?

Are they able to do the full synthetic turf this year given everything has been ripped out or will it be synthetic on half the field and normal turf on the other?
Supposedly there isn't enough time to lay the hybrid Desso pitch but they are taking the opportunity to install the drainage and under soil elements and then will lay a conventional surface on top which will then be replaced and the Desso pitch completed next summer. I think.
They said in the Sun the other day that the pitch will not be ready until next summer.

Treble-winning boss Brendan Rodgers had demanded a new multi-million pound Desso surface to be laid

Due to the vast increase in turnover in the last year, the Desso will now float 20cm above the main drainage channels, allowing air to circulate at all times, and drainage to be total. The hover pitch is achieved by air jets being forced through specially laid piping, which is what is happening now. The whole job will be finished next summer, and the roof of the South stand will be replaced with UV glass, allowing the floating surface to flourish all year round. This is all because of Brendan.

This is what it means to have Brendan.
He told the board how the grass should grow.

WH Malcolm built Lennoxtown, but are a shower of hun bastards. "Good enough for them" was a quote from one of the Malcolm family when asked about the new training ground, and anyone on Linkedin can find the " Business Bears" group set up by another family member, set up to trade with like minded hun bastards.

I wish we would give our substantial funds to a firm who didn't dislike us quite as much.

Nice to see the solidarity shown with Kenny Miller. Now everyone will be floating over the surface. Great gesture.

Serious question

A Desso pitch has synthetic fibres around which real grass grows. Do you need a Desso friendly mower which cuts above the length of the synthetics? :ponder:
