hello there good morning everybody welcome to another video by me Mr drone it is Wednesday the 21st of May 2025 today it is 6 a.m um a lot of people ask what time I got up and left my house when I say it’s so early in the morning i get to places like the Rexom Stadium just behind us here so I was up about quart 5 and out of my house this morning to get down here for 6:00 a.m um we’ve come to have a look at the the works going on at the moment at Rexoms we were here about about it been 9 days ago now um we had luck i want to get an update on the the cup expansion because we know they’re due to start that Rexim have made it into the championship next season which is backto backto back promotions which is almost unheard of in uh in English football it really is it’s a it’s a great achievement fantastic um congratulations to Rexom so had a look um just over a week ago um they haven’t started anything on the the cups stand at the moment but they are um they are installing a a brand new pitch to make it championship um championship league ready it’s a it’s a hybrid pitch i believe it’s costing about a million pound and it is a syscratch sis grass pitch um if any of you watched my videos of the new Everton stadium at Bramley Moroc which is called the Hill Dickinson Stadium now um that is the same uh pitch that that Everton use same firm that Everton use cisgrass okay um so we’re going to get up in the air and have a look at where they’re up to with it okay see where it’s at today as I say 21st of May 2025 let’s get up there and have a [Music] look okay everybody we are just rising above the stadium now get in view you can see we’re looking directly at uh the cop stand what is named the fourth wall at the moment the temporary stand so let’s get in there and have a look right okay it looks like they are up to the stage looks like they’re laying a gravel type of material down at the moment there’s big mounds of it there which been placed onto the pitch and that will be that will be divided out equally there looks like they’re already halfway through that so you see the lines in the pitch at the moment that is most likely see the lines of the whiter color lines at the moment so I’ll move down a little bit now that’s about 50 mters and we’ll take a zoom in you see that there’s piping that runs into some stones there that’s likely to be the drainage system that’s being laid at the moment on those those lines that will stretch right the way down the pitch evenly you’ll see but a lot of it has now been covered by this gravel material which is all to help with drainage i I’ll tell you what though seeing it is um only like just over 7 days like say we were here last Monday so it’s Wednesday morning now so it’s yeah 9 days they have done an awful lot within that period an awful Next up we will be looking for them to start putting the the pitch heating system in which I believe on this particular pitch it’s going to be around around 20 miles of piping for the pitch heating system that’s unreal to think of it isn’t it there’s the um gravel material there not sure if that sand will then go over the top of that or I think the the heating system will go in maybe covered by sand and then what happens with the the cisgrass um is at some point they get to a point of of of seeding yeah and then they put a couple of big machines on that go up and down um sewing the the hybrid fibers synthetic fibers into the grass it’s quite cool to see it’s got a lot of using nowadays looks like when I said it last week about this this um section of the stand being taken down here but it looks like they’ve just taken that down doesn’t it to make an access route for um machinery and materials so it’s going to be interesting to see what happens once they have sewn the pitch in that like I say it’s it’s a couple of big machines that they use um to do the cisgrass so they’ll definitely need access for them as well when they’re at that stage and then it’ll be probably be about four to five weeks maybe six weeks for the for the pitch to be to be [Music] ready which doesn’t give them loads of time between now and the new season but I’m sure it’s all factored in to be ready keep an eye on what’s happening with the new stand though the new cop stand because that’s um it’s also really interesting phase of the development of this of this ground but there we go guys that’s how the pitch looks as at today’s date the 21st of May so we’ll finish off there there’s not much not much more to see it’s just a little update on where they’re up to with the pitch so as I say we’ll start um seeing within the next um might see if we can get down here the weekend um let’s see what we can see then but we’ll finish off here for now okay so there we go um little update on the the racecourse ground home of Rexom FC uh championship team next season as I said at the beginning um massive massive achievement there um but yet that the the main works is the the pitch area at the moment um as we’ve looked at and and as I say it looks like it looks to me like they they have done um they’re just completing that drainage system section of it there’s different um levels that they that they do obviously so it looks like they’ve just done the drainage next will be the the heating we’ll see the we’ll see um see sections left um for the sprinkler systems as well um to be put in and then at some point we’ll see seeding which will be followed by cygrass um machines put on to sew the synthetic fibers into the pitch as well and then we’ll start seeing some some green coming through at some point um and you’re talking you’re probably talking between the time of there seeing as for how much they’ve done already there you’re probably talking a matter of of weeks before we start seeing um them seeding that seeing that pitch but we will keep an eye on it we’ll certainly keep an eye on it um it’s looking good though isn’t it it’s looking good um I’m sure all you Rexom fans are um overjoyed with the progress and the development and that that you’re seeing here all the time um so yeah it’s really good guys I hope you enjoyed the video please like share and
