The playing surface is undergoing extensive refurbishment under the guidance of head groundsman Dan Milgate, with assistance from the evergreen Nobby Croston.
A programme of scarification, seeding, fertilising and aeration has taken place, while the York Street end goalmouth is being re-turfed ahead of the big kick-off.
Milgate thanked pitch maintenance partners The Burdens Group for their ongoing support — and Enterprise Seeds for their donation of grass seed this summer.
