Thread: How is our pitch so bad?

    How is our pitch so bad?

    Is this a deliberate ploy considering we like to get the ball forward early. I used to see the lamps on quite often when I took my lad to football but I don't recall seeing them on so much recently.

    The lights were on in a video when Madine signed. I thought the pitch was pretty good.

    Viewed from the Ninian Stand, it is patchy and it cut up badly during the Bolton game. I'm no groundsman, but it's been an exceptionally wet and sunless winter. Grass only grows when the temperature is above 6oC even with great drainage, so there won't have been much growth for weeks.

    Having said that, very few players have had a problem with their footing.

    Boro player and Bamba engaged in a bit of synchronised slipping in the second half.

    There are still some problems with the drainage, and some parts of the pitch hold water longer than others. Some parts of the pitch are also too dry.

    I was down there around Christmas time doing some shopping at Smyth's, and was talking to one of the groundsmen.
