According to sources, Umeå municipality has started clearing artificial turf pitches earlier than normal due to light snow and thawing weather. Normally, the municipality starts this work after the sports break. The pitch at Gammlia is used as a stadium during the SM week, so Tegstunet and Carlslund are being cleared a little earlier.
The exact dates for this early clearing have not been specified. The municipality is now moving on to clear pitches in the city districts, though the total number of pitches being cleared is unknown. ' The schedule for clearing pitches in the city districts has not been detailed.
Usually, staff flood ice over the sports break and then start with the football pitches, but now it is thawing.
I was here earlier when there was snow on the pitch, the ball slides much less now.
