Work has started on the pitch ahead of the new season
Despite the bad weather, work on the Roots Hall pitch got underway today ahead of the 2013/14 season.Pitch hire finished on Sunday which meant work could start today.
The pitch wasn't the best towards the end of the previous campaign, and work has started now that will last for about 7 weeks to ensure the pitch is in excellent condition for the course of next season.
We'll be posting regular updates on Twitter throughout the coming weeks on how the pitch is coming along.
