Rovers will now begin works on the Ewood Park playing surface Improvement works to the Ewood Park surface and at Rovers’ training base are set to get under way at a six-figure expense. The club are set to spend around £500,000 and hope the three month break from action will be the necessary time to bring about a long-term upgrade. However, plans for a new ‘stitch pitch’, outlined by chief executive Steve Waggott earlier this year, won’t take place this summer, but the club expect the 12-week break from action will enable a full renovation to take place and bring about the necessary improvements.
