20 litres of SeaAction seaweed, before again opening up the pitch at close centres with the vertidrain. On the 16th, Birmingham City came to town and played out a 1-1 draw with the Latics. On the 17th, we applied 170kg of Maxwell
Advanced 14:2:7 (only because we were out of stock of the 12:0:6) and, on the 19th, did final match preparations on the pitch for another evening visit of St Helens. On the Monday, we verti-drained the pitch
