Don't laugh, but I was told by one of the builders last weekend that it is the 'wrong type of grass' and it's being replaced.

It's being scraped off and offered to the Wembley turf suppliers    


They're thinking of using this stuff for the aesthetic appeal...    Forget all that 'Green-Credentials' nonsense

This is the picture of the roof taken in August. It does seem to have lost some of its green verdant growth.

An 'expert' was consulted.
