Presumably they've had plenty of notice. Decent weather, newly relaid pitch etc no excuses. Would be even more embarrassing if there's issues a second time in a few months for a relatively high profile game, expect we wouldn't see them here again.

Probably more like last season, where they had about 4 hours to get it ready.

To be fair, the pitch was decent when first laid last season, it just massively deteriorated once we hit cold weather.

Wasn't that something to do with the foundations of the pitch, which hasn't been renewed since 2007 and has been end of life for years. I really hope they've replaced it this season, otherwise the pitch is going to be a complete state again between November and February.

They'd relocate to somewhere like Longleat.....

Only the corners left on the lower tier. Plenty left on upper tier, but probably not for long.

Over 20k sold in about 2\3 days. Good going wonder if they'll have the sense to keep a few kiosks open after half time ?

Ah, cheers. I guessed they must be very cheap for those levels of sale.

It's a S:MK. All tickets are free. No one pays to attend. Do keep up. 8-)

Really looking forward to the game this afternoon. Should be better than a lot of the footy we have seen lately at the Stadium. :(
