The grass at the Spireites new £13 million football stadium has been shooting up and before its first cut it got a first roll.

The pitch was only seeded just over a week ago with hits to the webcam reaching record levels as folk literally watch the grass grow.

They haven't been disappointed as the grass has shot up leading to a gardener from pitch installers Pugh Lewis giving the grass a careful roll ahead of its first cut which is expected this week.

Latest update 2 June

The pitch has been fertilised and will be heavily watered over the next 48 hours, cutting of the grass could then start on Friday or definately Saturday.
