Can anyone confirm that the board at GC are considering digging up the whole track and relaying it ? Also hearing a top top Jock is not happy with the track and the poly

Graeme hawkins on the winning ways show mentioned that he will propose
to the board to relay the entire track after the poly is complete,apparently 3 different
grass types have mixed in

Wax is melting....needs more watering.....needs more harrowing.....these tracks need on going maintenance even more than turf.....but the eggspurts cannot grasp that the track is never paid for.....they eat money::o

Relaying the whole track is being talked about. Also making sure all the drainage is right at the same time. Would probably only be done in spring. Costs being worked out at the moment I gather.

Having the last 2 races on the poly @ 5 and 5:30 was a good move (tu)
Give everything but up!

The usual racing mantra, only act after the event

.....had been harping about our synthetic tracks before they were even laid.... specifically about maintenance and conditioning....even went to see the local Martin Collins outfit.....and they are/were really on the ball and cannot in anyway be responsible for what has happened.....
