Dont they put boards down over the surface anyway??

If so, why not lift the current turf up before the concert, stick the boards down and lay the new turf afterwards giving it 10 days to bed in before our quarter final.....

I'm no horticulturalist mind

The stage and flooring shouldn't cause too much damage to the grass as it wont be down for long enough unlike when they have had the squash courts on it for a number of days.

Cant see why the KC needs to be relaid so frequently? I understood last time it was due to a disease in the grass that was killing it off.

To be fair don't know where it came from that we wouldn't be playing at KC apart from all those in the know
