THE sowing of 400kg of grass seed begins today at Darlington FC's new multi-million pound stadium.
The high-quality seed is expected to produce shoots within days, and the pitch will then be tended by grounds staff.
Work on the 25,000-seat stadium, by County Durham firm Hall Construction, remains ahead of schedule.
The steel frame is complete, as is the terrace concrete. Above the concourse, the first and second floors are also finished.
Work on the bars and restaurants below the terraces is due to start soon.
