That one just off Ditchling Road (Hollingbury Park?) has a hell of a slope across the pitch.
Hated playing there.

Has anyone on here ever played on Cocking's pitch ?
West Sussex League, it has a slope that Eddie the Eagle would be proud of !

I was going to mention those pitches... Thankfully, I only played their a couple of times. Nightmare place to play!

Marvellous to read about the Horsham mini-minor league on here. I played for Warnham Bucks from 1978 until 1982 and one of our pitches (the one in the field to the north of Warnham Primary School) had a ridiculous sideways slope running from touchline to touchline. By the end of a game you felt as though one leg was shorter than the other!

As regards professional football, it's got to be the Manor Ground at Oxford.

The Goldstone sloped from the halfway line down towards the south stand.

Playing cricket years ago somewhere near Roehampton, can't remember exactly, the pitch was on a slope but the square had been levelled. This meant one end had quite a steep slope up to the wicket. We has a short spin bowler, fielding at slip you couldn't see him until he was near the stumps!
