Southport FC Head of Commercial Steve Dewsnip said: “One thing we are really delighted about is the quality of the pitch and how well the playing surface continues to hold up.
“I would like to make a particular mention of our excellent ground staff from Greener Grounds.
“As well as our own first team, we continue to take great pride in the regular compliments we receive from Everton Football Club who continue to play most of their Under 21 fixtures at Haig Avenue.
“The pitch is looking really good.
“We are in December and it is looking far better than this time last year, despite some torrential downpours in the last couple of months.
“It reflects very well not only on our ground staff, but also on the comprehensive programme of works we undertook back in the summer.
“The stadium itself continues to look great. A special mention must go to all of the club’s volunteers, without whom we would struggle to function.
“They really are the lifeblood of our football club.
“I know the board is extremely grateful for everything they do.”
