Left it pretty late?
Football doesn't do anything to it necessarily. All grounds (with good curators) end up a mud heap in winter but spring back fine.
Most important thing is to get the new square laid in summer, give it a chance to nit and grow before football and the cold weather starts.
As long as a square finishes the cricket in season in good shape with strong grass coverage it will come back again when the sun pokes its nose out.
It's the squares that finish cricket season with massive bare patches where the grass has died off that have trouble. 'Football' ruins these grounds supposedly but really it's curators who don't know what they are doing.
