Re: Stanley Reserves
Not in my view it isnt. The pitch has been dreadful these last couple of months because of the amount of games there has been on it (around 80 this season i think). And it has stopped the FIRST TEAM playing the type of football they like to as often.
The team we have like to pass the ball about and get crosses in from the flanks, with the pitch being as bobbely as it is and hardly any grass on it its hard for us to do this. Thats a reason for us being more direct in our style of play at home for the last couple of months.
Although we may be getting a bit of money from hiring it, is it really worth it. The pitch becomes crap early on and it means more work to be done in the summer and more money spent on it
IMO I think we should just look after ourselves and have the first team, reserves and youth team play on it. PLUS a couple of other games for teams like Burnley Res. but not all of thier home fixtures.
