The green, green grass of The Globe Arena

The green, green grass of The Globe Arena

Postby Christies Child » Sun May 23, 2010 6:22 pm

Took a final look at Christie Park this afternoon.

When it lies bare and all its areas exposed, it really does look tired and long past its sell by date.

Then I had a look at The Globe Arena.

Couldn't believe my eyes. :o :o :o

What was previously the outlines of a pitch appearing like a desert of sand, was now a sheen of green. Whatever type of seed the contractors have put down, seems to have responded to the recent warm weather and the sprinkler system which is now fully operational.

No doubt when Mike W and his assisitant take the next series of shots, the green carpet will be more exposed for all to see.

:D :D :D

As far as the pitch goes we are slightly ahead of them.

Stadium wise....would agree with you certainly stand wise but internally?

Still on schedule I understand and Globe will no doubt bring in extra bodies if needed. Remember The Arena is going to be their show piece for this region. No way will they allow it not to be delivered on time. They have a reputation to maintain.

They have a large site at Grange and wouldn't surprise me if some of the guys there got involved at the Arena.

Talking to a mate of mine recently who works on the ground staff at Spurs. He said as a rule of thumb they allow 10 weeks from sowing to mowing,dependant on conditions. So I guess the pitch will be fine. Not being a building man I do worry about the rest of the project,looks a long way off to me as a layman.

External wise for the stadium, put seats and crush barriers in place and the stands at the Globe will give a finished appearance.

It all looks good though and progress has been quick.... full credit to the developers
