They should play their games on this surface, probably have a better chance of winning than on grass.
-> "Given that it's just over three weeks until the next rugby match is played on the pitch, I hope that video is many days old. " Looks like there's nothing to worry about. From the photo in yesterday's tweet, it seems to have come on really well.

Looked in an open gate today at our new pitch, it's a very nice shade of sand, and as green as Donald Trump. No signs of grass whatsoever, I wonder how this affects the rugby lot given they're due to play on it on the 15th of this month. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I put grass seed down over 6 weeks ago, after filling my pond in (well it shouldn’t gob off). It is mainly covered now, but very thin and patchy. I wouldn’t want to play a game of rugby on it. I don’t know if those lights can speed the process? I guess you can use quicker growing seed, but I can’t see how it’ll be ready?
I think they'll need to, and bleedin' pronto. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
All underground heating etc has been overhauled and sports turf arriving today on pallets for direct laying onto the sand bed
Wouldn't you need to cut down some of your forest first to make way for the pitch and pavilion complex?
Den.. tip given to me by a green keeper. When you buy grass seed don’t put it down straight away. Cut a leg of your wife’s tights put the seed in and put it in a bucket of water for about a week. Then let it drain and then seed the lawn. Apparently then it’s germinated and will find it easier to root. Then lightly cover with compost and keep well watered. I know you knew this already of course. Disclaimer for the slap your wife might give you.
