I heard a couple of weeks ago that the club where looking to sort the pitch out.good news and shows KLD is taking a big interest.
 
Well at least one of those reasons isn't a factor - the pitch was at its worst after the Covid enforced break in games. We'd played less on it compared to other seasons. Rainfall has been a bit higher than average, but nothing like as bad as, for example, December 2015 or February 2020, and this season has been the only time I have noticed a problem with our pitch (I've missed a single figures number of games since it was laid).

So the state of the pitch seems like it can only be down to management decisions under Stewart Donald, no matter how much you seek to defend him.

The lights have definitely been used recently. I was at the stadium last week and they were outside the south stand with just a small barrier around them.

Imagine they haven't been used much prior, like.
 
I'm liking the cut of this lads jib.

Hopefully, we're one of those clubs unearthing young talented lads in the next few years....The building blocks are being moved into place and we might actually have a well run club, done the right way in the non too distant future.
 
This time on a new pitch.... taken from the Daily Fail mind....

Sunderland's home may become the Stadium of Floating Lights, after the club’s new owner made installing a state-of-the-art playing surface one of his priorities.

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, French heir to a billionaire fortune, is the youngest chairman in England at 23 and is keen to make his mark. The pitch has come in for heavy criticism from boss Lee Johnson and Louis-Dreyfus is ready to fork out £500,000 to sort it out.

He plans to install the same HT Pro hybrid turf system as at Tottenham’s impressive home. The surface will have an integrated pitch-grow lighting system, with lights suspended above the pitch from rails at either end, so it never comes into direct contact with the grass. Grow lights are used in most large stadiums, where stands and partial roof coverings restrict sunlight. However, most use wheel-on structures which can damage the playing surface.
