Pitch

[Masbroughstreet]

I thought the club had invested in the close season in a new hybrid pitch artificial/grass to make it even better ? Did that happen and is that at fault ?

Yes that did happen.

Great stuff we've found something else to moan about

I’d like to moan about the large rusty patches on the floodlights. Should I start another thread?

I've never noticed them to be honest but I'm sure somebody on here could pick it up and when they're struggling for something to moan about start a new thread about them

So you don't think a decent pitch is an important factor for any self-respecting club? It's what the game is played on, or hadn't you realised eh?

Any fried onions with burgers outside ground more relevant!

. Rotherham have been using it to train on because our training facilities are not up to scratch.

You need a itch, before you can scratch

Worrying thing about the pitch, is we haven't heard anything from the club, or Dave Fellowes.

The other year, that it struggled, we were told that it was Fusarium. Some local golf clubs suffer also. This disease is common in cold climates.

What worries me is, what happens to the "stitching" what cost lots, when we shave the top layer off the pitch in the close season?

All this talk about the training ground, and spending loads on it. What deal have we got with Parkgate? I was told years ago that when the cricket team folded that Parkgate was on the brink, only by us using the training pitches saved them.
Couldn't we buy it all off them, golf course and all? Then it would be worth spending money.

You don't build an extension on a council house.......money down the drain, without assurances from the landlord.
