The decision was made to only strip off the pitch with the Koro afterwards, replace the three pairs of centre sprinkler heads with three bigger single 360s in advance and leave alone until after the concert

made at the 11th hour, again the Manager pushing hard to get these installed, so four days before the gravel banding started, I was contacting Jon Jinks at Osprey Irrigation to see if we could get the pipework in advance of ARC Groundcare’s gravel banding Whizz Wheel.
