Re: Match Off!
its because the previous regimes idea of spending a 5 figure sum on the pitch was £100.00 not the 5 figure thousands needed.
Cardboard thrupennybits' idea for pitch care was to roll it repeatedly thus causing the compaction of the in soil air pockets which help water drain out into the water table, the result of which is a pitch that holds water on the surface and struggles to drain it away. I spent time talking to former groundsman Gary on this subject before he left and he was saying at that point that the pitch in his opinion needed virtidraining and re-airiating before being rotavated, fed properly and reseeded with one of the higher quality highly durable grasses now being used at the top level. Bear in mind that this was 2 and a half seasons ago (minimum) and you can see what Buzzer is up against.
