Head groundsman Endre Varga, will be a busy man in the coming weeks. Work on a brand new pitch began on the 1st June, and it will take roughly 40 days to completely change and modernize the soil. The recent rainy weather has delayed the work, and if needed, work will carry on through the night to get everything ready. There will be several nights ahead when the floodlights at the Sostoi stadium will be switched on to allow the groundstaff to work.

A further two meters will be lifted from the running track, and the new pitch will be wider than its predecessor. However, the actual pitch dimensions will remain as before. The club will also install the latest undersoil system, to make sure that the new pitch will look good throughout the season. We will be updating with news and photos as the work commences.
