    The pitch

    For the second year running our pitch is shocking, relaid again in the summer but looked patchy all over, same pitch as Arsenal so what’s gone wrong.

    I thought that too - it’s not like it’s over used

      I reckon it’s cut too short I know can’t be 6 inch long but ball bobbles all over the shop

        I thought the same, especially down the flanks.

        Do we have room to wheel out hydroponic lights? It looks like it's been let open to the elements, and due to the closeness of the stands the wings don't get any sun, so the grass fails.

        Do we have hydroponics?

          Don't think there's much to be done given tight/enclosed nature of stands. Even if sun were out, barely any of the grass would see it. But, the club was quite quick to trumpet the expensive new pitch that was laid 18 months ago, was it called Desi or something?) but it doesn't look much better than last one currently.

            Thought the same it looks worse on to, when I watched it back today the corner areas looked like the birds had been feeding there.

                I’m on insurance for elderly people. The only connection is putting me out to grass. Probably right actually
