State of the pitch 14:18 - Aug 1 with 5231 viewsswisscottage

At the Palace match ( From SAR block B) it was very noticeable how threadbare the 5 yard strip of pitch by the touchline was.

I was shocked given how good the summer has been with no hosepipe ban.

Anybody got any information about the pitch, (when was it laid, when's it due to be relaid).

One of the things with the new training ground was that the type of pitches and the pitch dimensions were supposed to be the same as Loftus Road, but if the pitch is as poor as it appeared to be at the Palace match, I'm just wondering how relevant that is.

Thoughts?

The Ellerslie touchline has the problem of too little sunlight. Less than elsewhere shows up in a weaker sward.

Can we save sacking the ground staff until we have got rid of Les, Lee and about half a dozen players first?

Thanks

The summer has been terrible for grass! Have you not noticed the brown scrub everywhere in public spaces that grass used to be? We've had a really severe drought in London this year, grass loves rain and it's not really possible to replace normal rainfall with watering.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Don’t worry it will be dark / night time games soon and no-one will see the pitch because of the crap floodlights.

I was at Sutton United on Saturday - pitch was immaculate. Ditto Brentford and Southampton for the Womens' Euro games during July.

Stadium was a bit of a dump all round at the Palace game.

Concerned that I'm moving to rail seating and the stand had the seats out, but was still just....covered in crap?

Oh I don't know about that.

My neighbour seems to have a great summer with his grass - the aroma as he spends all day "burning" it tells me his supply is rich and endless

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I play cricket in Victoria Park and the outfields are insane. Basically zero fielding to be done cos if it ain't straight at you, you aren't getting near it.

Was at full speed chasing the ball on Monday, but the ball was still accelerating when it got to the boundary, felt like a Looney tunes character
