Anyone got any details of who is responsible for the maintenance of the playing surface?

I read on this very forum that stadium operators Vinci will be responsible for it, handing it over to our groundstaff on matchdays.

Who actually does the spadework I couldn't say. I wouldn't be too surprised if Vinci didn't outsource the maintenance to West Ham, if only for the football season.
