After last Thursday's Bryan Adams concert the old pitch has now been removed with the new pitch being paid for with money from the concert.
"In many ways having the concert has helped us. We have been given extra finance to renovate the pitch which is excellent news. With some good weather we should have every chance of having a top class playing surface for the 2006/7 season." said Marcus Cassidy, head Groudsman of Swindon Town.
