Where did this talk of relaying the pitch come from, its not been down more than 12 months or so.
chubby “Im stealing your crown jewels” eggchasers dont do it.
There appears to be a drainage problem when the weather gets heavy.
Whilst not pretty on the eye teams played in much worse in the nineteen seventies and eighties, problem is we’ve all got accustomed to those snooker table finish pitches the tv networks might want.
To be fair when you’re asking people to pay up to £28 to watch a match they deserve to see it on a decent pitch to get full value for the quality of the players.
The pitch is non league standard. Sorry worse. Nothing to do with being built on a boggy area, drains or anything else.
Simply dowmn to the fact that it isnt rested and worked on over the summer months.

Sorry Donny but that is not true. When the JJB Stadium was being planned the arcitects told Whelan that being at the side of the Duggy the pitch would have to be raised as the water table was going to be at pitch level. This would have cost millions more so Whelan in his infinite wisdom decided against it. And the rest as they say is history every time we get a lot of rain the Duggy rises and the pitch holds water and we need to re-lay it.
Must have cost him millions in the long run with new surfaces must be wishing he had done it right in the first place, eh. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
