Have you ever seen a game completed on a worse pitch than this? It took place in Belgium last weekend. The game lasted the full 90 minutes and free beer was served up afterwards. Full story and more ridiculous photos HERE.
I saw us play a game at the Goldstone one Christmas where the pitch looked something similar to that...think it might have been against Bristol Rovers...they scored early in the first half and we couldn't splash our way to an equaliser, think everyone was praying the ref would abandon it at half time, sadly he didn't.
Spoke to a Ex-Albion player as part of my course yesterday, and he said some of the grounds he's been to playing at county league level, the pitches were rock hard and at one of them they even had to pick glass off the floor before playing.
