Worst pitch you've ever played on?

[valleys caveman]

For me it's Llanelly Hill, near Abergavenny.

One of the best drainage systems ever due to the slope I must add, but the rest....
On a fine day anywhere else, it would be sleeting up there.
Gale force winds were more than welcomed by the 14 brave diehards.
Kick the ball out of touch and it would end up up 3 mile down the road in Clydach.

For bog conditions Crickhowell was a big winner.

AstroTurf

AstroTurf Abertillery gave me knee burns that took some explaining. Early pitches were dreadful.

BP Sports Ground, Sully (as it was at the time), a game of two halves due to the hurricane wind.

Sully’s ground, Burnham Avenue. Wind & slope.

Blaenrhondda for that bloody imposing mountain.

Bonvilston, for the tin bath instead of showers.

Ely Racecourse for the old army huts changing rooms and having to run to another block for a dribble of a shower.

Heath Park, the old farmhouse/barn for changing rooms.

Coronation Park under lights with Cardiff Boys, great for the wingers as they only shone on the touch lines.

Must be loads more......loved it all though, can’t beat playing.

Seems like you played a bit, SP? Any good?
Big regret of mine is not carrying on after I left school.
I'd give anything for a game now

I'm in a minority. I preferred to watch football rather than play.
