Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass will kick-start his first full season in charge on a new pitch after Pittodrie was resurfaced. Glass‘ Dons will play on a state-of-the-art Fibresand surface when they begin the new campaign in the Uefa Conference League second qualifying round next month. “This prevents the grass from getting water and sunlight resulting in a lack of growth and a poor playing surface. “This was successful however, surface damage, algae and organic matter does not disappear completely unless a full pitch renovation is completed which involves killing weeds and foliage removal. “Ultimately the pitch surface must be removed anywhere from 20mm to 50mmm depending on surface damage and the black layer of algae.
