Yes a lot of it’s in the detail and much of it unseen. So when people say why is the North stand terrace only half way back or why didn’t we sign such a player that’s your answer.
For example they have installed a new water butt that I think holds 3 times as much water as the old one. It’s also partly fed by rainwater I think. But what matters is that before they could only water half the pitch per day, then they had to wait for it to fill overnight. Now it’s a continuous operation.
It probably only cost 20k, but its 20k we won’t need to spend again and probably one less ACL. It’s certainly the kind of money we wouldn’t have invested before.I exaggerate but you get the idea.
