The pitch is looking worn
Did you notice our pitch looks poor in places yesterday.I would expect better considering have all the modern gear to help grass grow and do not share with other sports eg rugby

Re: The pitch is looking worn
I said exactly that to my friends in the Ninian yesterday.
Maybe the shade cast by the Red Elephant Stand creates problems.

Re: The pitch is looking worn
Looked terrible.
How WILL Bristol's silky footballers and Wolvsalona cope when they come here in a few weeks.

Bristol City will hump it down the middle and play it behind the full backs into the channels as quickly as possible.

Well it has crossed my mind that it is a deliberate act on our part to stop tippy tappy teams.NW is quite capable of ploys like this.

Can't see it myself.
My post was a joke.
We've got the likes of Birmingham, Burton and Bolton to come as well.
It certainly doesn't help the likes of NML and Hoillet

Re: The pitch is looking worn
I noticed exactly the same thing. Desso Grassmaster. I thought it would last a bit better than that.

I was half joking myself but this is not a parks pitch and work needs doing on urgently imo

Are Bristols and Swansea's ropy then ?
Swansea even have to share theirs with the egg.
Bristol City do too
Neither looked anywhere near as bad as ours when I last saw them on TV

Did you see them against spurs? I know it was raining but the pitch looked terrible, the wurzels must have some good groundsmen to keep that pitch the way it is but I do think we could have different weather to them but would give the groundsmen the nod

It's a mere 25 miles between Cardiff and Bristol. I'd wager that the weather we get and the weather they get is not THAT much different, surely?

Bristol city’s groundsmen have an advantage over ours as they play most of their football in the air not on the grass

Re: The pitch is looking worn
Also, do Bristol have the level of technology we have available? We have a brand new stadium, new pitch, modern surface with undersoil heating etc.

Re: The pitch is looking worn
Just watched the extended highlights on the club site and the pitch looked okay to me.

It was awful on Sat. The ball was bobbling terribly in front of the Ninian , particularly in the area near the away fans. Worrying when you consider how it's degenerated in previous seasons.
