Off we mow! Molineux is pitch perfect ahead of Cardiff clash

Friday March 31, 2017

Groundsmen practise a spot of synchronised mowing as they prepare the Molineux pitch for this weekend’s game.

Three men went to mow – groundsmen mowing the grass as they prepare the Molineux pitch for this weekend’s game

With just nine matches left to the end of the season – six of them at home – the backroom staff want to make sure the pitch is perfect, even if the players’ form hasn’t quite reached that level this season.

In preparation for match days, the groundsmen cut the grass, roll and aerate it – and their job doesn’t end when the season does.

During the summer they sprinkle thousands of litres of water over the surface to stop it drying out, also making sure it is properly fertilised.



But for the moment, it’s all about getting ready for the referee’s inspection before Saturday’s kick-off against Cardiff City.

With Wolves hovering just five points above the relegation zone, the players are expected to leave no blade of grass unturned to notch up a win.

Both sides are in fairly good form ahead of tomorrow’s game at Molineux.

Here’s how the sides’ recent run of results compare.

Wolves: WWWDL

Cardiff: WDDLD

It never ceases to amaze me how good pitches are nowadays - to think what we used to have, there is no comparison. The run of the ball is so true and the pace of the game can be as quick as the team wants it to be.

Wolves are in a good vein of form, better than us really - that said, anything can happen in the Championship and the City are now playing with a decent level of confidence, and goals thank God!!

Genuinely gutted not to be going to this but I'm hoping I can start doing a few away fixtures next season
