S_W_F_C Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I've read many posts about how it improves in the second year, that said I think for a seven figure outlay it's a little bit alarming how it looks. You could see it bobbling quite a bit tonight and we are a passing team after all I'm sure CC won't be impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSheridan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm not able to get to many games thsee days, but I noticed a comment by Sean Dyche about the pitch tonight. "I think we arguably had the best chance of the game which we didn't take, but really both teams attempted to play on a really tough pitch. Overall, it was just about right." Was the pitch bad? Surprising after spending so much on pre season on it. What's up with it? Or is it just one of those generic things that managers say after they haven't won?

robswfc Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 looks like a league 1/2 pitch to me. Can't play a 10 yard pass along the floor without it bobbling everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyOwl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I never noticed any particular bobbles tonight. First half our guys hit lots of balls short or over hit,which sometimes indicates a pitch problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S_W_F_C Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Surely whoever we paid for this have some questions to answer. It's marginally better than last season and has cost us a million quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Clemente Owl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Its really got nothing to do with Desso, I am sure their portion of the pitch, ie the plastic green bits are fine!! The problem is with the seeding and bedding in of that grass. We replaced the whole surface including most of the soil, then we played on it too early because we had no choice and now the winter has been awful rain wise. We need more growing lamps and it needs a full summer of growth to be set for a full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evaD Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Supposedly we haven't been able to use the grow lamps due to needing a replacement power supply or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I remember saying just three weeks ago that it looked from the highlights it was starting to bobble and got slated for it... since then it's had a spell of two weeks without a game on it. Now y'all are complaining that it's bobbly. Make up your minds ffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Daft thing is from the Kop it looks pretty good. Optical illusion - because you see a replay on the screen and go ruddy hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadABallacks Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 From the kop it still looks in good nick. It's only when you look at the screen that you can see how poor it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It looks in great condition from where I sit on kop. I'm sure they'll be far worse pitches around country this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 What is weird is how much worse it looks on camera than in the flesh. It was particularly telling when watching replays on the big screen. Sat in a ground with a pitch that is so so and looking at a screen that has a pitch that it terrible.

General_Grievous Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The power supply to tge ground needs upgrading to allow for a proper set of lights. That's the thing missing TB told us at steering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest _Ibbo_ Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Honestly sitting in the north I don't think it looks that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
