This time last year a decision was made to dig up the pitch and lay a new one it seemed at the time a bold move but a proactive one. Today its becoming apparent the pitch is a write off or is it? no communication from the club leads to speculation. Ive only seen the pics you have seen it close up so is it worse than last year? is it worse than it looks or better than it seems? will it be played on again? [Post edited 22 Jan 2018 20:01]

No doubt after the coin toss, the ref will ask who wants to play towards the deep end too? | |

Once tossed onto that pitch, the coin will never be seen again. | |

I know this is going spark all kinds of haters but it just looks like common sense,
Install an Artificial grass pitch that is rugby compliment.
Number of reasons why it would work:
1 - No games called off
2 - Hornets would not ruin it
3 - Finally club would have somewhere to train
3 - Cheaper than getting two new pitches each season
4 - Generate income for the club to other sports teams when not in use
It maybe a none starter due to EFL rules and yes I know its not true grass but it would solve a number of problem that's been going on for the last 30 years | | | |

Anybody know how long grass can survive under water before it dies ? | | | |

Nothing to hate there, when there's a laugh to be had, with your inclusion of precisely why it can't happen | |

To be honest I don't think there is any grass in the flooded areas. It just looks like a mud/sand mix. | |

If they do, it won’t belong before they get that sinking feeling. | |

Didn't know this was still the case, I thought that EFL had relaxed the rule | | | |

Jaysus. What a mess. And with the snow and hail at the minute it's only going to get worse.
At this rate R17ALE's prediction of an FA Cup final of Man City vs Rochdale/Millwall/Spurs/Chelsea/West Brom looks more and more likely! [Post edited 31 Jan 2018 15:28]

Cheeky bid for Connor Sammon?
On the subject of artifical pitches its a non-starter at the moment but i see both Sutton and Bromley are currently in and around the play offs in the National League. Be interested to see what the EFL do should one of these win promotion. I assume they wont allow them in unless they agree to rip up their 4g and stick grass down. | | | |

With these relaxed rules - which clubs have artificial pitches in the EFL then? | |

So bored of reading through pages of drivel to get to the information. | |

If the pitch is still as suggested in that picture today,what the heck have the groundstaff being doing for the last 10 days or so......playing snap in the Implements Shed?
Is the verti-draining under way now or rained of?
Surely the window of opportunity is now only slightly ajar. | | | |
