At Garden Suburb we invested in drainage over the off season. Two weeks before the season started our pitch looked like this and everyone was excited.



Unfortunately, the grass is a summer grass and right on queue, the grass died off down the centre of the pitch just as the season started. It had no traffic in the build up to the season, so usage wasn't the issue. Its better than previous years, but not by much. Some people thought it was council cutting the grass too short that caused the die off, but its the same grass as my back yard, which died at the same time. I think we just need a change of grass but cant get onto that until we get irrigation sorted.
