New Everton Stadium

Found this from Patrick Boyland:

The pitch that was laid for Monday’s game is only temporary and will be replaced at the end of the season. The broadcast setup for the live YouTube stream of Monday’s game, viewed by 330,000 people at the time of writing, is still being refined.

Just amazed they stitched it and then will need to start again. Something must have gone wrong.

It was also in the Echo Tuesday morning. “Club officials” confirming the pitch will be relayed after the test events. I’m with you, I just can’t see them going to the effort of bringing the heavy machinery and stitching in the synthetic fibres for three test events, it makes no sense. They’re clearly not happy with the results. Got a feeling Joey might be proved correct after all! Might be plan B, rolls of proper turf. We’ll see.
