Abstract/Contents: | States that, in 2011, Pompey Coach Steve Cotterill "was faced with the unenviable responsibility of building a Portsmouth team from scratch under the scrutiny of expectant fans who await a return to the former glories of the past." Details a project undertaken by the Sports Turf Research Institute to improve conditions at the Portsmouth Football Club, focusing on an assessment study of the facility. Mentions areas that required improvement, and states that "having the capacity to apply water on a light and frequent basis for the first few weeks post seeding, and thereafter the ability to apply enough water to the site during the grow-in, would be vital." Summarizes the renovation process, noting what aspect of the facility was renovated each day. |
