The worst I've seen in the past couple of seasons was at Arlesey where they had to repaint the touchline at half-time as it had completely disappeared into the mud. I just think that corner of the D&D is going to be a real challenge, and might put paid to games that would otherwise have been played - but I'm sure those that know about these things will do the best possible to keep it playable.bozzer wrote:Did you not see that state of the thrapston pitch last year and the mud the linesmen had to run in for most of the season when they finished the match it looked like they had flippers on! In fact at woodford last year their whole pitch was like that for our u18'sFormic wrote:The area outside the touchline on the right at the far end where the subs warm up was just a mass of mud, but I'm sure the experts will know when it needs to be sanded. The linesman was running on the pitch at times to avoid running on the line itself.
Realistically we would love it to be like wembley but it's not going to happen you can't just sort it out, it takes time, it is better and now we have a top guy doing it who knows what he's doing I have no doubt it will get better but it won't be pretty at stages during the season
