Maybe I can answer that. The touch line and the goal line come already stitched into the turf. They then use clever technology to cut the green turf and replace it with white to create the 6 and 18 yd box etc. Welding the joints with a specialist glue.

They were telling me some surfaces have a football pitch - 5 a side- hockey all done in different colours but in the same way.

Thanks Gladfans that's just the answer I was looking for.Thanks again.

Didn't like my near identical answer the post before then?

Enjoyed the two recent videos from Alex in the rain. The pitch looks fantastic, it will look brilliant when line markings are complete, goal nets and corner flags are in place. 
   To think that the pitch level was raised up from a lower level, had to be leveled out, then have the pitch surfaces laid out is a fantastic achievement.

I’m really pleased about the drainage on the pitch,Ive missed at least half if not more of the games I’ve had pencilled in to watch due to ever a waterlogged or frozen pitch since I left the Shire.

Shandy it appears that we both read the Beano?Or you think that glad fans answer was better then Davids#75.so did you read the Beano from back to front as well as me?
LOL ha

Spoke to the guys today with regard to the centre circle and penalty area D. They use the same straight sections of white line but overlap and stitch and glue as they move round the arc. Simple really. But can’t be done when it’s sheeting down with rain as the glue doesn’t stick. So there they were sat in the stand looking at the cloud that seemed to hang over Meadow Park all day.
