I said exactly that to my friends in the Ninian yesterday.
Maybe the shade cast by the Red Elephant Stand creates problems.
Looked terrible.
How WILL Bristol's silky footballers and Wolvsalona cope when they come here in a few weeks.
not as bad as the "cabbage patch" years
I noticed exactly the same thing. Desso Grassmaster. I thought it would last a bit better than that.
It’s january
Looks diseased to me , glad it's not on my golf course.
The Liberty and Ashton Gate benefit from a grass 'weave' - a more durable surface than normal.
Can take the rigours of scrummaging leaving a decent surface.

I would imagine that the cost is prohibitive especially if the pitch is only going to be used every other week on average.
Would be interesting to see if most PL pitches are 100% natural or like Swansea's 'weave'.
Perhaps managers prefer the 100% grass if they suspect that any artificial mix may cause problems.
I hope its like a ploughed field when we play man city. 'Ankle ligament damage'
Also, do Bristol have the level of technology we have available? We have a brand new stadium, new pitch, modern surface with undersoil heating etc.
