I hope the pitch hasn't taken too much of a hit with all the rain this morning. :(

Re: Pitch
 

I was about to post asking if anyone knows what state it is in?

Re: Pitch
 

Omg it's monsooning got an awful feeling the pitch may not handle this amount of rain however good the drains unless it brightens up later this afternoon :(

Re: Pitch

Im not convinced but hope it goes ahead im looking forward to it & this rains putting a mockers on it :rolleyes:

Even the best of pitches will be under pressure never mind our newly laid one! My garden used to mirror the old pitch & thats under water in some parts this morning :eek:

Re: Pitch
 

Fill a few bottles from any standing puddles and sell em at half time as Newcastle Brown. By then they won't know the difference.

Re: Pitch
 

pitch looked good this afternoon,might be advantage the reds if its a bit wet ya know these prem players dont enjoy getting dirty and i have turned off the water to the showers in the away dressing room (only kidding).

Re: Pitch
 

They'll probably arrive in their kit, and leave in their kit (if the coach driver will let them on with muddy boots, that is) ;)

Re: Pitch
 

I doubt it mate, aint southern softies, different breed Northerners.:D

Re: Pitch
 

Just been up to the ground pitch LOOKING GREAT! so I'm well excited and a definate buzz about the place, club shop gearing up nicely and everything going well so far :D

Can't wait - bring on the toon!

Re: Pitch
 

Liverpool arrived and left in their kit a couple years ago.
I'm certain it's not a north / south thing, the problem lies in the premier league, they're all a bunch of big girls blouses. :D

Re: Pitch
 

Re: Pitch
 

Did they not leave cos there was nowt worth nicking?:D

Re: Pitch
 

Re: Pitch
 

Given a couple of faults, gotta say in my opinion the pitch looks better n ive ever seen it.:)

Re: Pitch
 

lot of sand on pitch ???? can sum one help me out . we ran out water

Re: Pitch
 

Wasn't you that positioned that spray clayton end penalty area at half time grimps? soaking em all in the seating.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Pitch
 

The contractors were working on it this week, perhaps they have reseeded parts and the sand is there to try and protect the new seeding ?

Re: Pitch
 

The pitch was not good today very sandy noticeable when running on it and the ball was so unpredictable and didn't help. Tho the sprinkler at half time didn't half spray getting a few clayton enders wet lol

Re: Pitch
 

was at smoke gate so did not see it

Re: Pitch
 

Let's be honest we need a new ground. We have spent £70,000 on a new pitch and it's not right, how many more times will that happen before it's good enough.

Re: Pitch
 

my brother was asking about this today .. and i could only tell him what i read on here ... he also made the comment about the sand coming up every time it bounced .. asking if there was any sand left on blackpool beach ....

Re: Pitch
 

Re: Pitch
