Then during the winter months when the grass is out of use, having a first class facility, an Astro that we can bounce over to and use when we need to, makes a world of difference to us as well.
Craig McLeishGUEST

There have been times over the last couple of years where we've had to go and maybe use indoor at Tory Glen or over at Ravenscraig and things, and that's just because because of the age that the Astros are like it's not kind of staying the same and the kind of the lower temperatures so again new surface allows us to kind of stay on site more often throughout the year as well and again the support we get from spies and from that and the contribution again people won't see the actual value that it does bring us and it's greatly appreciated
