Was this also a new tactic from Deano that won the game?

Must say, I'm extremely surprised that the club itself are cheerily putting this about on our own web site.

In the first place, if this is a strategy then why pretty much ensure that every future opponent knows about it. At the very least they'll make a huge fuss.

And secondly, isn't it illegal anyway? My understanding was that the opposition had to have the chance to train on the surface in its 'game state'. I don't see how that is possible with heavy watering at half-time. Were Luton even told the pitch would be different in the second half?

That is simply untrue. There were four hoses in action, two in each half.

My apologies then - all I saw from my seat in the North Stand was the ones at our end. The sun must have got in me eyes

Could this rebound on us by other teams saying that we do not play so well on a dry pitch so refuse to water it.
