The pitch is looking worn

[valley boy]

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

[BlueWales]

I said exactly that to my friends in the Ninian yesterday.

Maybe the shade cast by the Red Elephant Stand creates problems.

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.

[Chris Pontprennau Blues]

not as bad as the "cabbage patch" years

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

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

It’s january

It’s january

It's January everywhere.

Are other Championship clubs pitches in a mess too ?

[Rocco Siffredi]

Looks diseased to me , glad it's not on my golf course.

Not every where has the exact same weather

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

Yes and some are a lot worse

I thought they were no better than ours

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

[NYCBlue]

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.

Just watched the extended highlights on the club site and the pitch looked okay to me.

[blue matt]

get some sand down

these footballers today, pah

[Des Parrot]

Worn, worn you say .... I'll see your worn & raise you a Rodney Parade. Harry Kane on a ploughed field

Have a closer look. Its not good.The Preston manager made a comment which I thought was harsh but now I see what he was on about.

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.
