Just back from a quick visit to the theatre of dreams to buy some merchandise. Pitch looks immaculate. As for the player situation, to quote Lew: "If you've brought your boots, we'll give you a trial." ;)

By the way, Lew, thanks for giving the family a guided tour of the stadium, complete with annecdotes. They now know where the old man disappears to every fortnight during the season! :D

Pitch not good enough for Rovers!!

Well it looks like you all have your wishes, the friendly against the kentucky fried chicken team has now been switched to Morecambe!!!

Re: New Drains
 

It looked green enough last night when I saw it from a few thousand feet up. It's not often that you can see the Crown Ground, Gigg Lane and Rammy United's pitches all at once!

The Crown Ground pitch is making good progress following extensive work over the summer to improve the playing surface for next season.

looking good there mark certainly better than my lawn

Re: New Drains
 

This small snapshot does look good, but the full picture on the fishy site shows a ot of sandy patches down towards the coppice end:confused:

Re: New Drains
 

Three things:

1) The picture is about a week old - due to the fact that it has poured down the last few times I've been at the club I've not been able to get one of any standard that's up to date!

2) The pic isn't cropped on the front page to deceive anyone - if the full size one goes on there the website loads at a snail's pace.

3) There is still a month until that Carling Cup game against Scunthorpe - at the same stage last summer you would have been hard pressed to see any grass at all!

Keep your eye on the website and I'll try and update once a week between now and then...

Re: New Drains
 

It looks like they have put the 'spoon' back into the surface!

Re: New Drains
 

Another non-story...or will we be visiting the Turf to play Scunny like we did in '93?

Stanley rubbish groundshare claims (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: New Drains
 

Took some more pics of the pitch this morning, will post em when I get home from my 2x10 shift.

Re: New Drains
 

The one in Burnley or the one in Accrington ? :D

Think only one person knew about the rumour, certainly nothing passed through our gossip shop and there has been nothing on the Burnley sites. Guess it was a pathetic attempt at having a reason to ring Rob up to see if any other info could be obtained :rolleyes:

Re: New Drains
 

And people on here slate the ultras for giving the club a bad rep! This plonker gets paid for it!!!!! I say smoke him out of the LET offices!!!!
