📺Pitch Reconstruction Update

It's to combat the long throw specialists It does look quite a slope, the pitch looks like it's about a foot up from the bottom of the advertising boards When they mentioned astro-turf I assumed they ment green not black.

Shades of Old Trafford and the seemingly very steep slope there.

Well for me that's a good thing. I really hate long throws = anti-football.

Anyone remember the old Baseball Ground? When you stood at the front, the pitch was about two foot higher than your feet. Or it seemed that way as a kid.

I certainly do. My abiding memory is Don Roby running on his knees up the right wing on the far side

And Don Masson scoring direct from a corner.

As I remember, it was about 80% mud with the odd blade of grass here & there. (But I was only a kid.)

Lets hope we have a team good enough to play on it..

Is it just an optical illusion, or is there quite a slope down from the pitch surface to the advertising boards? Which could be a bit dangerous?

Unbelievable for a L2 club!
