“Conditions were better ahead of the England match, but the pitch was still not good enough for our liking. Ultimately, it has not fared well through what has been an extremely harsh winter and it needs to be replaced. The stadium caters for football and non-football events, so replacing the pitch more than once a year is the reality of a multipurpose venue.”
Work will start on the new pitch immediately and it will take a week to “bed in”. The next match at Wembley is the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final between Carlisle United and Southampton on March 28.
