Pitch

[finlaytheblade]

This part plastic pitch is looking a bit tired! How long do they last ?
Skinned every summer for a new surface ! Very thin in places just now.
A lot of prem pitches look immaculate even in march ! Anyone know the style of pitch used.
Technology must have moved on from what we have.It was supposed to be the best when we installed it ! Obviously outdated now.

It doesn't help that the put loads of water in it both before the game and at halftime

The water does help, without the seemingly excessive amount of water put onto it it would be rock hard, slow & even unplayable. There's a certain amount of water that needs to be put into them which is why you often see it being watered even when it's raining.

The pitch a drainage system so water logging and downing the roots doesn’t happen.

Wait till you see the farmers field we'll be playing on Sunday.

Desso’s have to be watered heavily or they dry out. It’s one of the issues with the Desso at the Sty, they can’t water it as they should cos the water table is so high cos of the Don running past the ground the drainage can’t cope.

Or maybe it’s the pigs that graze on it!

Harsh on farmer's fields.

A dump like the rest of their ground, the most nutrients that their pitch has had was probably from the United fan who shat on their centre circle a few years back.
