New Pitch

[mattbianco1]

I expected it to look better than that.

I know it was peeing down but there were patches of mud before they kicked off.

Are the fibres still working their magic or is that as good as it gets?

Looked a bit bare in patches and probably needs a week or two's more growth until we see the finished article. It'll be reyt

 

[Barney]

I agree I expected slightly better but it should hopefully look better by the start of the season with a bit more growth behind it.

 

[Worksop II]

You do know they wern't actually Desso machines ................

20 Vietnamese rice planters in each tent, offered accomadation for 3 weeks rent free is what you were really looking at

Some of the chuffs cleared off one night which is why one of the tents stopped

The program for todays game stated tha although the pitch is perfectly playable, we won't get the best out of the pitch for at least 2 weeks.

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Cutting up where Long was warming up. Sure it'll be fine; there are hundreds of these pitches all over the world - but maybe needs a few weeks.

Considering there was,nt a blade of grass on the pitch a month ago I thought it looked quite good

 

[Bladeloyal]

Think the pitch will get better and stronger over the coming weeks

 

[s4-blade]

See Positive Nigel's programme notes. It isn't ready yet but will be pristine for Chezzy match.

I'm just wondering why we needed a brand new thread for this....

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Coutts will be happy about the pitch.

He can hand over the scapegoat tag.

There is still 3 weeks till our 1st home fixture. patience is required here I think

It was a genuine question. I honestly thought a million pound pitch would look like the emirates/etihad.

If it does take time to bed in, 2 home friendlies probably aren't the best idea??

It is exactly the same pitch as at Emirates/Etihad so by the Chezzy game it will look like them. 180 minutes of football will do minimal harm so nothing to be worried about.

I think not being utterly fucking rubbish will address that.

My back lawn looks better than the pitch yesterday !

Wish mine did....

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Our standout performer this season. Looking as good now as it did in August.

I don't do Trip Advisor reviews but somebody really ought to set the record straight

[SwissBlade]

No doubt we'll draw Hartlepool in the cup again next season

 

[Bladesman]

Still looked like carpet to me on Saturday.

Obviously not as smart as Leicesters though.

 

[Kenilworth]

It should look far better considering the shit it has had all over it this season

Yeh, but it makes me wonder why Leicesters Pitch looks better than ours

And we have had their shite ..........................

Leicester are a little more fleet-footed so they make less contact with the pitch, unlike our plodding cart horses

It's better because it's been down for a couple more years than ours, makes all the difference.

I'm not a big fan of fancy patterns on football pitches personally. I'm more of a parallel lines man

Just lines will do me, no need for squares even. Just cut the thing. It's a football pitch, not some feature by Capability Brown.

We've been down for 6 (SIX) years

I think the pitch has stood up very well this season. Looked almost as good Saturday as it did last August against Chessie. Not sure we've had very "testing" weather throughout the winter but don't recall it looking as good as this at season end for a good while.

The pitch has been great. In our first couple of seasons in this league that pitch would have been a real asset, as the bog we had in those winters was a leveller.

Sadly the leveller now is our players.

 

[pommpey]

I think it has been a brilliant investment and well worth the money spent on it. The improvement in play and results is there to see and we haven't had to face the terrible fixture pile up at the end of the season what with all the postponed games due to waterlogged and frozen pitches.

Three cheers for McCabe. Hip, hip ...
