Wycombe Game
- Thread starter Somerset
- Start date
Bit harsh Somerset "Disgrace" How can you guard against mother nature? Covers are fine for frosted areas but not to good to stop the rain ,water has to go somewhere.
Perhaps you should come up to the WHAM Stadium and give Buzza the benefits of your expertise so that he does his job properly and the game will not be in doubt!
gonna have to be a bloody big letter to cover the entire pitch!
Well seeing that the Met office don't do accurate long term forecasts you might want to get writing....though if your letter is anything like your posts on here I'm sure it will raise a few good laughs !!!
Perhaps you would like to stump up some cash to provide full covers for the pitch....maybe cough up a few bob to help with the drainage.....or even offer to help Buzzer and all the other volunteers try and maintain the pitch / get the game on ???
Or maybe...... being so high and mighty ....... you can possibly divert the seasonal weather away from the Crown....
Your posts continually prove that there really is one in every holly bush.....
blame on coley and jimmy. wouldn,t have happened in the snakes days.
At last an affirmation of some serious action ahead from Somerset !..It really is about time that we began to take the tenor of his/ her posts with a little bit of decorum. He, or she, comes across as one with some authority-giving knowledge and experience of the current state of all things 'Stanley', in particular the existing condition of the playing surface at The Crown (aka Wham) Stadium.
I do of course apologise to Somerset for the 'he/she' asides, but at times thinking that I could be reading a note from some disturbed elderly lady to the agony aunt in Women's Weekly when viewing his/her posts, I do get a little confused. ( Cashy knows what I mean !).
In truth we all hope that the consistent downpours of the last weeks, will stop, and that the jet stream will guide them towards some northern climes. This will allow us to continue to witness the burgeoning skills and efforts of our Team on better surfaces. If not, then there is nothing disgraceful about the Club doing it's level best to provide us all with a playing surface which will allow all fixtures to be played !.
Finally, I am more than certain that everyone at The Crown are aware of these problems, and that any letters from fans berating their efforts to improve matters, being of no value whatsoever just might find their way into the nearest waste bin !....

Going to abuse the "theatre of dreams" hospitality this afternoon Yonmon,hope their pitch is ok,would hate to have to spend the afternoon in a free bar 
Come on Fella! I know some see Coley as the Messiah, but some miracles just ain't gonna happen!

There you go again...ruining my afternoon's Christmas Shopping !!
The pitch is infinitely better than it has ever been. It seems to cope with prolonged rain but can't cope with a monsoon that suddenly arrives.
in all honesty what could be done to improve it? It sits on a clay bed which really couldn't be dug up no matter how much realistic money you want to throw at it. Perhaps the only answer would be to throw another foot of soil across the top of it?
Cost of action/potential loss of revenue for odd game
...................profit or loss.....................................

Just remember - The last time we had pitch troubles, we covered the ground in sand and got into the playoffs. Bit of sand this year and we'd be champions... 
Perhaps Carlisle Utd need a strongly worded letter to get the covers on for the next game!!
And any chance of one to the train companies for Saturday in case your letter to the club works for Saturday. A little bit of wind and rain and the network grinds to a halt Total disgrace.

Yonmon. Are you suggesting here that Cashy has another job ......?

Perhaps Somerset is in touch with a deity far beyond our humble northern comprehension Yonmon???......
......The Aztec god Tlaloc.....Tlaloc was an important deity in Aztec religion; as supreme god of the rains, he was also by extension a god of fertility and of water. He was widely worshipped as a beneficent giver of life and sustenance, but he was also feared for his ability to send hail, thunder, and lightning, and for being the lord of the powerful element of water.
....Or am I just p....ng into the wind?
Or is Somerset suffering from imbibing too much of Dorset's fruity nectar?...hic!

Brunton Park has always been flood prone but the regular top dressing of Eden silt it gets every decade, together with Cumbrian turf, is why they've otherwise always had one of the best pitches in the country.
By the way, I'm praying Wycombe pull one of the top Premier clubs tomorrow night in the hope they're still thinking about it on Saturday.
