EFL stadium looks unrecognisable as pitch is ripped up for maintenance work and fans spot where turf has been dumped
AN EFL stadium looks unrecognisable after the pitch was ripped up ahead of maintenance work.
League Two side Grimsby Town are undergoing renovations in the off-season.
They have removed their pitch and dumped the mud and grass behind the Young's main stand.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the mound of turf, which is taking up space in the car park and limiting the number of spaces available for vehicles.
Work is ongoing at the ground to install a new pitch, which should be complete by the new season.
Grimsby confirmed part of the car park would be closed during the renovation.

"For supporters planning on visiting the Ticket Office or the end of season clearance sale, there is ample street parking available around the ground."
Grimsby are preparing for their fourth consecutive season in League Two next season.
