Notts County’s head groundsman Matt Hallam has given an insight into what it’s like working on a pitch whilst dealing with record-breaking temperatures.
The UK has seen unprecedented heat over recent days with the Meadow Lane pitch still in need of preparation with a friendly against Nottingham Forest scheduled for next Tuesday as well as the National League season opener against Maidenhead United on Saturday 6th August.
“It’s a tough job sometimes,” Hallam told the club’s official media. “We’re facing all conditions, we’re never happy really. It’s either too hot, too much rain, not enough rain. We’re never really happy, groundsmen.
