Having a good pitch to maintain the quality football we are currently enjoying is crucial. I don't see this issue as just another chance to whinge.

Playing in ambient rain is the really killer for vulnerable pitches How was your pitch inspection at 90 mins? Looked alright to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really! 8 groundstaff on the pitch as I left replacing divots ....the growing season is over , there is another game on Saturday and Newcastle coming up . The pitch took a hammering tonight and you will it incrementally worsen now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
