The pitch

[Napier's Knee]

Noticed today that the pitch has been narrowed by about a yard down each side. Guess this is to give opposing wingers less space to exploit with Calderon?

 

[Hampster Gull]

I didint notice that. I had assumed you wouldn't be allowed to change pitch sizes in season

need to knock another 10 yards off our LHS

The trouble mostly came down the right!

 

[Return of the Rev]

Didn't think the pitch looked too good today,ball bobbled just before Wilson got his conversion

I only noticed, yet again, that despite looking wet enough already, we had the sprinklers out once more.

Not that that made one jot of difference to the result of course. 'Boro the best team I've seen us play so far this season by a long chalk.

Pitch has not been the same since the rugby compared to previous seasons.

No alteration in width since the start of the season is permissible.

Agreed. Said to my mate that after a two week lay off it was looking pretty ropey.

Thought the same. The difference being 18 stone egg chasers compared with 11 stone weaklings playing on it.

 

[Bob!]

Nope, looked at photos from earlier in the Season.

No change to width.

Less grass though.

Poyet was adamant that rugby wouldn't be played on that pitch whilst he was in charge. It does generate good income for the club, but the two RWC games have properly ****ed it this season. Was the income worth it, considering the state it's currently in(compared to previous seasons)?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Whether the pitch is good/bad or average, we got done today, and will move on accordingly.

 

[Jam The Man]

The width can't be changed mid season

 

[atomised]

They must've moved my seat too then as I'm leve look with the line normally and still was today

I don't think the rugby is at fault for the pitch. It hasn't been the same since the u21 international which was played in torrential rain and really made a mess of things.

 

[brightn'ove]

Considering the rugby was played in perfect dry conditions over 160 minutes and it was months ago, I don't think that's the problem. As said it was torn to pieces in the u21 game. Swansea have rugby played at their ground every other week and the pitch is fine.

 

[Napier's Knee]

Looks like I've been more of an idiot than usual. Better get to Specsavers

 

[portslade seagull]

From the top of WSU the pitch is looking somewhat bare in patches. Also think this could be a factor with some of our injuries

 

[jonsey]

I thought that once the pitch dimensions were submitted then no alterations were allowed during that season.....Certainly the case in other leagues

No you have not! This level of idiocy is quite normal for you.
