Magpies - two for sorrow!

As you head into Nottingham along the London Road, you are greeted by Trent Bridge Cricket Ground. A few hundred yards later and Nottingham Forest's City Ground comes into view and, as you cross the River Trent, Notts County's Meadow Lane is just half a mile further on. Welcome to the heart and soul of Nottingham sport.

Notts County are the world's oldest football league club, being formed in 1862. Having been FA Cup winners twice in the 1890s, plus a spell in the top flight in the 1990s, their recent history has been checkered to say the least, with the threat of administration, and of Middle East ownership, being serious concerns or opportunities, depending on your viewpoint, in recent years. This season sees them close to the relegation zone in npower League One, and with a new manager in former Manchester United and England midfielder, Paul Ince.

As has been well documented in this magazine, being a groundsman in the lower echelons of the Football League often brings its share of problems, with ageing machinery and tight budgets being par for the course. End of season renovations are usually carried out on a shoestring with the result that, as the following season progresses into winter, grass cover can be lost.

So, the last thing Greg Smith, the 'Magpies' Stadium Manager, needed was a dump of snow on the Meadow Lane pitch, last December, to exacerbate the problem. And, to further aggravate the pitch issues, the Notts County management took the decision, last year, to ground share with Nottingham RUFC.

Greg joined the Magpies in 2000, at the same time as a new fibresand pitch, primary drains (at 3m centres) and a pop-up irrigation system were being installed. Greg had previously spent fifteen years at the Boots the Chemists sportsground in the city, where he looked after cricket, bowls, tennis and winter sports pitches. He was, therefore, highly qualified for his new role.

He is assisted by Head Groundsman, Trevor Hutchinson, who has been at Meadow Lane for twenty-two years.

"Having dual usage on the pitch is not ideal," says Greg, "but, I understand the reasons behind the decision, as revenue is hugely important to the club. As the current agreement is for seven years, it is something we are going to have to get used to. Hopefully the additional revenue will mean that I can have an increased budget for my renovations.
