Try playing on the old King Georges or Highams side pitches or even White Ash (as was)...Level...no way.
The last football pitch on Highams (nearest Accy CC) was so bad the left back couldn't see the right winger as he was over the horizon!! When we played cricket on it, you could hit a cracking square cut "up the Hill" only for it to roll back before it got near the boundary!!
