Looks better from this angle (picture credit SSSkies, 06-07-2025)

Blue circle is the center and yellow arrow is where the line peaks

That is definitely not a circle. Never mind that attempt at an arrow.
Did you lay that roof piece?

Looks like the netting hanging below unevenly with curve meets straight and the combined shadows are throwing you off with a bit of an optical effect.

Nice to see those pitch covers going.

Why haven't they took the black plastic sheeting off the pitch?

Because they’ve not finished clearing everything.

Thats Cyrils job and he had a dental appointment yesterday but he's back in today.

I thought they would of cleared the pitch by now. 6 weeks tomorrow our first home game for them to completely re do the pitch. Is that what was planned?

 

[Chappie]

I think I'm right in saying that the groundsman needed it back by the 12th of July .

Nice one

Couple of bottles of Miracle-Gro and it’ll be fine.

Need to hoover it first

I’m totally guessing but perhaps the construction teams weren’t sure what City were going to do with the pitch after (complete rip up and re-lay, or just a re-seed) so if the grass has got tangled with the sheeting maybe they were worried of damaging something when pulling it away so decided to leave it to the groundskeepers.

I would like to know what PL stadium has the farthest seats from the pitch and also which has the steepest angle of stands. Looked on Google to no avail

London Stadium (by far).

New Everton South Stand is the steepest.

I'm way behind here, obviously, but this is meant to be complete for the upcoming Spurs match, right?

No.

Hopefully the pitch is though ;)

Hopefully February I think

Pitch will be fine. It'll be seeded and growing by midweek next week. For context, the enclosed pitch at the academy was stripped and re-seeded on around the 15th June and it is already green and looking almost ready to go.
